Kindle Notes & Highlights
I glance at Des, who stands over him, his arms crossed and his jaw locked. Dangerous beauty—that’s what he is.
“What you did…” He searches my face. “No one will forget it. Not that woman you protected, not the room full of fairies, not the Flora Queen and her consort—and not me. Mara might wear a crown, but everyone in that room saw who the true queen was today.”
No wonder he’s so fierce about punishing those who prey on women; he’s been sculpted by his experiences.
You wouldn’t think a sorceress so inclined to evil would be good at healing, but Temper is.
“Well, I think I owed you one after you used your glamour to get me that deal on my car, so you know, we’re even now,” she says, her expression soft.
Her words have Des smiling nefariously, and oh my God, the only thing worse than these two being enemies is them being friends.
😂😂😂
Being here, in the Kingdom of Flora, has made it abundantly clear that humans aren’t seen as equals. But if there’s one thing Des has always made sure of, it’s making me feel like I’m his match in all ways.
His thrusts pick up, and sweet baby angels, this is everything.
Cringe 😬
“When I close my eyes, all I see is the shape of your face and the brightness of your smile. You are the stars in my dark sky, cherub.”
“You are finally ready.”
Oh god. Ready for what 😅
Solstice expectations: everyone shall set aside their quarrels for this week, hold hands, and sing in harmony. Solstice reality: everyone shall come within an inch of death at least once.
He kneels before me, taking my hand and pressing it to his forehead. “I owe you more than just my allegiance, my queen. I vow that as long as I live, my shield and my sword will protect you. My life is yours.”
Not Des, but similar.
DAD?!?!
“Hello, my son.”
AHHH 😫
“Did you miss me while I was away?” He begins to circle me. “I’ve looked forward to chatting with you since our last little encounter in the Fauna Kingdom.”
Wait what. who is he?
Karnon’s split personality! The mad king had still been in there when this body snatcher took it over.
Ooooh...
“That animal made you in his likeness to escape me. He sought an end to his life by provoking the King of the Night, and what better way to do so than to harm the Night King’s mate?”
Oh shit...
The Thief of Souls.
😳😳😳
“Right now, my magic is incompatible with yours, and that ruins all my fun. But it doesn’t have to be that way—not if you drink a certain something.
OH NO!!
I’ll take my mate’s mortality from her just as I have always imagined.
Wrongs can be forgiven. It’s death that one cannot return from.
It was a trap. One the Thief of Souls set, and Des, the master of trickery, walked right into.
All that dark magic the Thief wields can now be used against me. I’m more vulnerable as an immortal than I ever was as a regular human.
A crack forms along one of the glass coffins, spider-webbing across the transparent surface. Wood splinters down the center of an oak. A devilish child smiles. And then, as one, several thousand eyes snap open. The time has come.
Oh fuck 😅
