Of Ash and Embers (The Mist King, #2)

by Jenna Wolfhart

“As long as dreams remain, so do the stars.”

Everyone blamed me for bringing ruin upon us all—which was true—but what few understood was that I’d destroyed my own happiness too. I missed the starlight. If only I could control the mists, I’d send them away.

“I wish we could fly away from here, like the ravens.” “Maybe one day we will.”

“Nothing could be painful enough to stop me from saving you.”

“Books are the boards beneath our feet. Without them, we risk wading in mud.”

I released my fear, smiled up at the stars, and said hello.
