“May their blessed flame find purity of faith, or else leave cinder and ash.”
― Lyndsay Ely, The Lost Reliquary

“A tiny thought at the back of my mind whispered that when I looked at this place I could almost taste magic on my tongue, could feel its promise of transformation humming in my veins. There was just enough of it in the air to make me feel brave.”
― Fran Dorricott, Wild and Wicked Things

“One for malice
Two for mirth
Three for a death
Four for a birth
Five for silver
Six for gold
Seven for a secret never to be told
Eight for heaven
Nine for hell
Ten to the devil wherever she may dwell”
― Fran Dorricott, Wild and Wicked Things

“Into the light, we are reborn. Within the flame, we are reforged.”
