Sovereign Quotes

“You’re wrong—”
A voice came from behind her. “Our history proves he isn’t.”
It was a voice that sounded nothing like the Emperor who had hunted her, who had taken her from Pax.
Sigil had sensed him, the rage and the violence so harsh it had a physical effect on her. But when she turned to face him, what stood against the smoke wasn’t Sovereign. It was a breathing demon. Walking over a pile of broken bodies, blood dripping from his fingers, Sovereign’s eyes burned. “This is not for you to see.”
No. The fixed agony, the faces locked in dead screams called out to her—they judged her.
Sigil had committed atrocities, murdered on a whim, wallowing in her madness when it descended. She had played with the bodies of the dead, eaten them, tossed limbs about and reveled in it. She had done those things because she was a monster. “You’re no different than me...”
Stepping down, heedless of mashing skulls or crunching bone, Sovereign closed the gap between them, and said, “I am much worse.”

“Sigil is not a deity. She’s a damaged child who was crafted to hunt us down, one by one, and kill us.”
― Addison Cain, Sovereign

“And when I lay dead how would you feel?”
Free?
He answered her silence. “You would be lonely, beloved, even more so than you already are. Deep down, under all your broken pieces, the truth is that I have been your constant companion—a whisper in your mind from the very beginning.”
― Addison Cain, Sovereign

“I raped her so none of you would have to. I showed our goddess that she was made of glass, and the divine scorn being ripped from their skies.”
― Addison Cain, Sovereign
