“Please don't die," she whispered. "I don't think I can bury

And while we watched him rage, some long-gone man sang about being kissed by a rose at someone’s grave. The song ended and still he kept going. Saiman’s face remained passive, but his eyes had lost their usual smugness. I looked into them and saw a shadow of fear hidden deep beneath the surface.”
― Ilona Andrews, Magic Slays
