The Serpent and the Wings of Night (Crowns of Nyaxia, #1)

You’ll be easy to kill later, he had told me. Like hell I would.

“Nothing matters but this, Oraya. Nothing. Step over temporary barriers. Once you win, the world is yours. That is the time for dreaming. But this? This is the time for conquering.”

“Or are you afraid?” The smile had faded. It was a real question. And the answer petrified me, because I was not afraid, and that was the most terrifying thing of all.

And it was there, in his eyes, that I found the truth that should have broken me. Yes, we could kill each other here. We were offering ourselves to each other. But neither of us would.

Oooooh stop it and just kiss already! 👀
