My Blood Is Risen Quotes

“They all come to you, Ben had said, and he supposed it was true that they did. Women, responding to his dark elegance and easy charm, often wanted to please him.

Especially when he knew the fate that awaited them, should he ever become involved enough to bring them home.”
― Nenia Campbell, My Blood Is Risen
