Yarro Rai
“A sister’s hug can mend what revolutions cannot.”
Yarro Rai, Vice and Virtue

Margot Douaihy
“I loved the chase. Even Riveaux’s insane driving. Not just the velocity but the violence of it all. I liked speeding through red lights. Headfirst to the edge. Scraping enough skin to burn not bleed. Sleuthing was impossible sometimes, a doomed quest. It was godly, really. A gorgeous curse. Like a plague of locusts. Like kissing a married woman.”
Margot Douaihy, Scorched Grace
