Dante's End Quotes

“He hated Havok. And if those crimes were all he was, he’d have gladly left him strung to the uprights. But Havok was more than his crimes. He was the boy who’d talked to butterflies, who had whittled little wooden animals for company, who had protected Lenola for much of his life. A boy caught in the net of someone else’s lies. Was he going to save Havok? Yes, yes he was.”

“the fear and hate had faded as soon as he’d seen Havok waiting for him by the pond. He’d clung to that memory through the cycles, using it as a beacon of hope that not everything in this world was bad. That boy was still inside Havok; he’d seen him moments ago when he’d played with the butterfly.”

― Ariana Nash, Dante's End

“His icy smirk thawed and it almost seemed as though the smile he revealed was the first real smile Dante had seen on him.”
― Ariana Nash, Dante's End

“Surviving on just bread, vegetables, and some fruit had left him desperate to stink his teeth into something moist and meaty.”
― Ariana Nash, Dante's End
