Igni Ferroque Quotes

“And despite the fact Remiel insisted I was wrong, I still believed God had a plan.
He had to. Suffering at the hands of an archdemon, finding forgiveness, falling in love… only the Almighty could have devised such an undertaking because it’s not the life I would have ever chosen for myself. Not in a

The way he whispered my name sent a shiver down my spine, so full of yearning, making him and the feelings inside impossible to discount. How could someone so evil make me feel the things I did?

Maybe because I really was a demon…”

“Because I’m not letting you out of mine.”
