Lady of Ashes (Lady of Darkness, #3)

by Melissa K. Roehrich

We are the nightmares on these streets. Not you and your merry band of Fae.

She was witty, this quiet, docile Lady.

“No one said this would be easy, Scarlett. It is not a choice you make once. It is a choice we must make every day. Over and over again. Even on the hard days. Even on the days we want to throttle each other.”

His attacks were all mental, all emotional. They cut deeper than any blade would. He wormed his way into every thought,

“You deserve every star and more,”

“Maybe the darkness needs to accept the fact that the stars do not want to go anywhere. And maybe the darkness needs to tell the demons that haunt it that the stars have already staked their claim and there is nothing left for them to have.”

“Thank you for loving me like the stars love the night, Sorin.”

“When night and darkness meet, when dreams and stars collide, when ashes meld with shadows, you will find me waiting.”

“Maybe the plan was shit from the beginning,”

“My name is Queen Scarlett Aditya. And I take orders from no one.”

You are worthy of good things, no matter what mistakes you made in the past. You deserve every star in the sky. Don’t let anyone ever tell you otherwise.
