“Some roads would always be lonelier than others, but they all had to be walked beneath the stars.”
― Hailey Turner, The Emperor's Bone Palace

“After you finish walking this road the Dusk Star sent you down, when you come home, I’ll marry you all over again,” Honovi said, words pressed against the pulse of Blaine’s throat.”

“These days, Caris was finding she wasn’t meant to be a lot of things she’d hoped to be. That her road had so many forks in it she couldn’t be sure which was the true path the star gods wanted her to follow.”

“Six are the fallen,
tempered into the light
Grave is the wasteland
riddled with blight
Breath is the poison with
its roots in your bones
Never bury your memories
in iron-sided tombs

Tithe for the borders to
ward against the dead
Remember, remember, all
the horrors that we fled
Send your prayers to the
stars burning the sky
We call this world a miracle,
so build your walls up high."

~ Constellation hymn from a Star Order prayer book”
