Kindle Notes & Highlights
four original kingdoms—Lukub, Omal, Orban, and Jasad—had been flush with magic. Nizahl came after the Awaleen’s entombment, created to arbitrate peace between the other four kingdoms.
“Children are not meant to bear the woes of this life, Sylvia. It breaks them. They will spend their adult lives doing everything in their power to never feel the weight of the world again.”
The Awaleen had created the kingdoms and ruled over them for millennia before Rovial, Jasad’s Awal, went insane and killed thousands.
I did not think Arin of Nizahl could be broken. But I did think he could be pushed far enough to break everyone else.
He should know better than to share his smiles with me. I should know better than to crave them.
