Kindle Notes & Highlights
I go loudly.
I go silently.
I love him with a fierceness that goes beyond the heart, and so I will ache and leak and grieve until he finds me.
I want to tug him back to me.
“I’m not Saira.”
“And you’re hard of hearing—much too young to have that ailment. You should talk less and listen more.”
I feel her like a shot of adrenaline surging through my veins and filling me with a staccato thrill, ready to help fuel my fury and push my power to rid her of her tarnished and twisted people.
But I’m not prey, so what I need to do is run with the predators.
Her aura, glowing against the blackest night, lighting up the sky and making the sailless ship glow. It called me like a beacon. As if fate itself was showing me the way.
Monsters never need anybody to believe in them. They come out to get you regardless.
“Then get on your knees, assassin, and bow.”
“I’m a queen, not a handhold. So if you would…”
It would be really great if monarchs could stop wanting me dead.

“Some people are in your life for only a moment, like a shooting star. Quick and short, but they light up a part of you for a second, and their brightness lingers even after they’re gone.”

“I’m your god.”
“Lord Cull doesn’t deserve flower napkins anyway.”
A captain goes down with his ship, and a queen goes down with her kingdom.
“People don’t normally thank their assassins.”
“How can we deserve to see the delights if we always close our eyes against the horrors?”
“You can see his aura? Not many fae get to. No wonder you’re dying to get back to each other.”
We got away.
