Marie Montine
“The truth had always been there, but he had been afraid to delve into his past. It only eventually caught up to him anyway, like a relentless monster, gobbling up his entire life, the bones having been spat out, leaving behind a pathetic existence.”
Marie Montine, Arising Son: Part One

Marie Montine
“Sand rose into the air, spinning a maelstrom of protection against bullets. She looked up at him: his face contorted with concentration while the wind played with his dark hair. His arms tightened around her until she felt every contour of his body against hers. Her heart raced faster than the churning sand, and her breath was lost as if the vortex siphoned it.”
Marie Montine, Arising Son: Part Two
