Ilona Andrews Quote
The magic ground against my mind and I heard the same word whispered over and over in my head.Oh my God. I knew that name. I read about her. I studied her legends, but I never thought I would come across anything of hers because she had been dead for thousands of years. Dead and buried in distant Iraq, somewhere on the east bank of the Tigris River. That name belonged to the bones in front of me. I could feel it. I knew this magic.I was looking at the corpse of my grandmother.She wanted me to say her name. She wanted to know that I understood.I opened my mouth and said it out loud. Semiramis.Her magic drenched me, not the blow of a hammer, but a cascade of power, pouring onto me as if I stood under a waterfall.Z’emir-amit. The Branch Bearer. The Shield of Assyria. The Great Queen Semiramis. A line from Sarchedon floated up from my memory.
