Kindle Notes & Highlights
When I was mad, hungry, or anything but mortal, they burned like two fiery embers—one identifier among many that proved I was no longer mortal.
damn she’s immortal??
In one fluid motion, I threw one leg over his lap and straddled him. He whipped his head toward me, a look of pure disgust and confusion edging into his features. “Are you going to kill me?” I shook my head. “No, not yet.”
why she so badass lmfaooo
Granted, Alistair had a few celestials under his control, but none with a rank as high as this, and none that had been this close to that damned city. Kaden would be happy for once.
ohhh snap
Ah, yes, the book. The reason we were running all over, searching Onuna.
lore
A smile, cold and deadly, lit up his face. Alistair reminded me of ice, from his hard, chiseled cheekbones to his empty stare.
giving draco lmfao
We weren’t even here to him anymore; he was a mindless puppet that Alistair controlled.
damn it’s giving imperio
I often wondered if they had seen the Ig’Morruthen beasts and copied them in their art, trying to banish their instinctual fear of the monsters. The beasts were powerful and vicious, craving blood and flesh. They could communicate, but saying they could talk was giving them too much credit. They could mimic, but their speech was limited.
lore
Without breaking stride, I donned the face of the Bloodthirsty Queen. It was who they were expecting, who they feared—and rightly so. She had earned her reputation over the centuries.
gah damn she a bad bitch
Eyes bore into every inch of me, but the ones that made me hesitate were the ones that burned crimson: Kaden. My maker, my lover, and the only reason my sister lived. She was why I did every single thing he asked.
okay okay gorl
I raised my hands, summoning the power he’d given me. Fire erupted in my palms, circling and dancing playfully. I tossed the balls of energy toward each torch. Flames
okayyyy giving aelin
“The dream eaters.” Kaden motioned toward the clan of Baku, sitting next to Santiago’s coven. Their eyes seemed to showcase a smile they physically couldn’t. Where a mouth should be, there was just a slit with skin stretching across it in diagonal lines.
lore
“The mind-yielding screamers.” I noted the banshees on the left. They were an assortment of women, the clan consisting of only females.
lore
“I see the powerful.” Kaden motioned toward the shades, who only nodded in response. Their bodies didn’t seem solid, their forms wavering like smoke.
lore
“I see the ferocious beasts of legend.” Kaden’s still crimson eyes focused on the werewolves. This pack was led by Caleb and held in high regard throughout our world.
lore
He tried to escape, tried to fight, but in the end, his screams for mercy echoed off the obsidian walls as I launched him into the lava. I wiped my clawed hand across my blood-splattered cheek and strode over to the last living vampire in the room.
damn she’s such a badass lol wtf
Don’t hesitate, don’t think, just finish it—because if he sensed weakness in me, he would take her, too.
damn
“Simple. I have word of the Book of Azrael.”
he said the thing
“The fabled World Ender. The legend. The Son of Unir. Wielder of the Blade of Oblivion. And where is he?”
daddy?
Ever since Kaden had turned me, I had scrubbed blood from my body every day. I had become a creature that could rip memories from blood, summon flame in an instant, and shift shape into any beast I wished. Every single time I had to feed, I felt less mortal.
idek what this bitch is fr
It wasn’t a complete lie. I had cared for Kaden in the beginning, until a few hundred years of excusing his behavior had grown old.
damn dude wtfff hundreds of years how old is this bitch
The shape I’d taken was one Kaden had shown me centuries ago, and one of my personal favorites. Mortals would recognize the beast as a wyvern.
ok that’s sickkkkk
She wasn’t a monster like us. No, she was an angel born out of the most brutal darkness.
awww
Marriage wasn’t a piece of paper you got that said you were bound to one another. It was beyond permanent and meant you were one in almost every sense of the word. When you married, you became true partners, the bond that of soul mates.
oh snappppp
We never really talked about my sacrifice—what I gave so that she could live. We didn’t like to think about the price, and it resulted in a fight every time it came up.
that’s a rough life fr
But unbeknownst to the Ig’Morruthens and the traitorous gods, my father and I had sent as many as we could to the nearest livable planet for refuge.
lore
Onuna—the world in between where the mortals and lesser creatures thrived.
lori
Over six thousand languages existed on this plane, and I had only learned half in the last twenty-four hours.
bro what the flip homie learned 3,000 languages in a day ok
I whispered the one word I thought had died with Rashearim. “Ig’Morruthens.”
o he’s got ancestral beef with these mfs
Henry was gone, and in his place was the woman from the photos. They had not done her justice. The grainy images had not captured the extraordinariness of her.
i knew that was her sassy ass lmfao
She had on loose yellow fighting pants with the same color top, if that’s what you would call it.
giving kill bill
“That was a hundred-dollar jacket, you asshole!” she spat, looking at her ruined clothes, unconcerned with the missing limb.
LMFAO BITCH PLZ
I was the only child born in recent memory, and the only child with a god and a celestial as parents. Everyone else had been created, made from the light that now ran through my blood. My mother said I’d been conceived in love, which made the other gods envious.
lore
Do you know where the vile, vicious, and vindictive women like you are now? They are dead.” “Oh, baby, I doubt you’ve met anyone like me before.”
she’s such a baddie i have no choice but to stan
“Maybe this will teach you to listen to me. You got yourself into this. Get yourself out.”
damn kaden is a real dick
His words ended on a gasp as I yanked the blade from Logan’s hand and spun, shoving it up through Alistair’s chin.
holy fuck bro she rlly did that lmfao
So tonight, when I saw him so close to death, the light of his power flickering, I had hoped to feel something. But there was no sorrow or fear, and the complete lack of emotion for someone so close to me was terrifying.
bro desperately needs a therapist
“Does the ground frequently shake here?” I quietly asked Gabby behind me. She shook her head. “That’s not a quake. That’s my sister.”
DIANNAAAAAA YOURE SUCH A SLAY
“What?” I said. “I did what you said. I fought back, and now I have a way for this to all be over. You will finally have a semi-normal life.” She reached out, lightly squeezing my arms. “Oh, D, trading one powerful man for another isn’t a way out.”
ughhhhhgabby ur kinda real for that im ngl
Resurrection, no matter the circumstances, is forbidden. You do not gain something so precious as a life without paying a hefty price. There are some things that even we cannot afford,”
oooooo foreshadowing
He recoiled, drawing back as if I had burned him. “Please, do not insult me, Miss Martinez. The desire to touch you is, and will always be, the farthest thing from my mind or intentions.”
mhmmm ok sure buddy
“You are absolutely tormenting. You realize that, correct?” “I love it when you flirt with me.” I winked, causing a vein to pop forward on his forehead, which only made me laugh.
their banter is so funny lmfaoooo
“Wait. Where are we going?” Liam called right before I closed the door. “Zarall. There is a Vampire Prince I was supposed to kill that I didn’t.”
omfg stopppppp
Not alone. Her words struck a chord in me, dampening the spark of lust and replacing it with another emotion. It was more than overwhelming, and this other emotion was one I wasn’t familiar with. It was something warm and happy, but also sharp and painful.
awwwwwwwww
Well, Kryella was the first of her kind to wield what you all consider magic. Her power frightened even my father—not that she would have ever betrayed him. She, along with a few others, were the only true allies my father had.”
lore
“I was not terrifying to you?” A pang fluttered in my chest. This powerful and indomitable male was worried about what I thought of him. I had no idea how that was possible.
why is this the cutest fuckin shit ever ugh
Definitely more of an open relationship type of guy. Or a monster, I guess.” His eyes bored into mine a fraction of a second too long. “Pity. I wouldn’t share.”
SIRRR
“The son of Unir and an Ig’Morruthen working together. The stories said you two were destined to spill each other’s blood until the stars died, yet you seem more than cozy together.”
ooooh little does he know lololol
I didn’t remember how long we talked, but somewhere amidst her laughter and smiles, I decided I would rip the world apart for her.
STOPPPPg
“You already consume my every waking thought. Must you consume my dreams as well?”
plzzzzzz
Those once enchanting hazel eyes burned crimson as she leaned in close enough that I felt her hot breath upon my lips. “That this is how the world ends.” Her voice was a sibilant hiss.
AHHHHHH
