Light Bringer (Red Rising Saga, #6)

by Pierce Brown

“I think…if love is anything, it is truth. If life is anything, it is struggle.

For a friend with an understanding heart is worth no less than a brother.

he didn’t need a woman’s love. He needed a brother’s. The way he talked about you. Well…” Her eyes swim with tears. “Lysander was an obligation. You were an aspiration. He was so afraid on our journey to the Core. So nervous to see you and be rejected. But when he saw you respected him, valued him, he shined like a star. His path led back to you, because you made him feel loved. That is all that matters, Darrow. When he died, he knew he was loved. So when you think of him, when you feel sad, remember that.”
