“I stood there, the distant noise of war coming to an end. Blood and bone scarring the earth. The dead bodies of innocent people forced into this all because of ego. What was that saying? When the rich went to war, it was the poor who died.
Fuck that. We had enough.
Though we might have won, it didn't feel like a victory.
We lost too many.
"Kovacs," Warwick spoke out loud, our link burned up for now.
He took my hand, pulling me away from Markos. We started to walk away, exactly like my vision, dead bodies lying all around us, fire burning, our boots soaked with blood. Hand in hand through the valley of death.
The Grey and The Wolf.”
― Stacey Marie Brown, Shadow Lands

“War.
I had been in many, on the right side and some on the wrong. It was disturbing, horrific, soul-wrenching, hopeless, bleak, depressing, bloody, violent, never-ending, scary, monstrous, overwhelming, inhuman, disheartening, and chilling.
None of those words truly captured the feeling when you were in it. Living it. Breathing it. Your senses couldn't take it all in, holding onto a singular thought.
Survival.”

“She was right. There was no leash. It was always my own free will. Though the pull to her wasn't much different from one - lead, follow, or stand beside. I would crawl on my knees or level the world to be anywhere near her. To fight with her, for her, next to her. Protect her at all costs.”
― Stacey Marie Brown, Shadow Lands

“Kovacs," Warwick growled against the back of my neck, the real man standing over me, ready to scoop me up at any moment if he needed to. At that moment, when the whole world felt against us, death snatching my friends and family from me like retribution, he had my back. Literally and figuratively. The sensation dug in so deep, realizing something like that went even beyond mates. A trust so absolute... love felt like a foolish word to utter.
We went beyond words.”
― Stacey Marie Brown, Shadow Lands

“Good thing my dick is big, or I'd have a serious complex right now.”
― Stacey Marie Brown, Shadow Lands

“All of this was too much. I tried to remember my life back at HDF, when I was a boring human in love with my best friend, who I thought didn't feel the same. And I thought that was complicated.
Now my best friend was part fae, connected to the man I brought back to life because of powers shoved into me from an evil queen, a cursed witch, and a probably half insane Dae.
The same person trying to kill me now.
We all were being babyset by a dead druid, using the body of an old gypsy seer who had been shot multiple times tonight.
"My life." I scoured at my face in utter disbelief, realizing I hadn't even gone into my friends standing around me and all their issues.”
― Stacey Marie Brown, Shadow Lands

“Plus." I glanced at him. "Know this. In coming for me, you made a mistake."
His head craned to me; his brows furrowed.

― Stacey Marie Brown, Shadow Lands

“I had lived centuries; my time with Kovacs was a blink in the scheme of things, but I couldn't handle not being connected to her for a moment. To not know where she was. To not hear her voice, see her smile, feel her skin, taste her, capture her moans. Everything felt off.
Wrong.”
