Phoenix

“Into the light, we are reborn. Within the flame, we are reforged.”
― Lyndsay Ely, The Lost Reliquary

“The girl did not see me. She inspected her palm, holding it up to the silver moon like an offering. Blood trickled, dark against the rocks. The magic I could taste was untamed— fierce and angry. She lifted her hand to her mouth, tongue hungry, and when she pulled it away her lips were smeared bloody red.”
― Fran Dorricott, Wild and Wicked Things

“The rich ones always made the easiest marks. They wanted things only real magic could buy: love, happiness. They had all their money, but they didn’t have it all.”
― Fran Dorricott, Wild and Wicked Things

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