The Shadow of Dread Quotes

“Now isn’t that better? Is not a smile a touch of light, ushered from the soul?”
― T.C. Edge, The Shadow of Dread: The Bladeborn Saga, Book Six

“Emeric caught a glimpse of silver armour, enamelled brown and black at the shoulders and chest, a great thicket of beard atop a neck so thick the armourers had baulked when it came time to make a gorget to fit it. Mooton Blackshaw was a fearsomely large man, but that neck…there was nothing like it. He gave a laughing bellow as he entered the fray, monstrously quick for such a brute, a huge smile splitting his wild hairy face. The first swing of his greatsword took a dragonknight at the waist, cutting right through him and parting top from bottom. The second came down so hard and true it parted the captain lengthways instead, from crown to groin. Emeric watched as the body peeled apart, right side and left side falling opposite ways as gore and organs tumbled out, steaming, to splash bloodily into the mud.”

“You see the world only from your own vantage, Amron. You see the great light of war, the nobility in it, the triumph. But every light that shines makes a shadow, and in that shadow, people suffer.”
