She took his hand, and he tried not to shudder in relief, tried not to fall to his knees as she slid the ruby ring onto his finger. It fit him perfectly, the ring no doubt forged for the king lying in...
She swallowed and put a hand over her heart. Thank you for coming when I asked. Thank you on behalf of Terrasen. I am in your debt. We were in your debt, Ansel countered. I wasn't, Rolfe muttered. Ael...
She said softly, You make me want to live, Rowan. Not survive; not exist. Live.He didn’t have the words. Not when what she said hit him harder and deeper than any kiss.So he climbed into bed and held...
She paused, frowning at him. But his eyes drifted to the small wooden door just a few feet away. A broom closet. She followed his attention, and a slow smile spread across her face. She turned toward...
She passed through a world of snowcapped mountains under shining stars. Passed over one of those mountains, where a winged male stood beside a heavily pregnant female, gazing out at those very stars....
She moved like a midnight storm.
She moved like a midnight storm. Whatever training she’d had in Wendlyn, whatever that prince had taught her … Gods help them all.
She lifted her face to the stars. She was Aelin Ashryver Galathynius, heir of two mighty bloodlines, protector of a once-glorious people, and Queen of Terrasen. She was Aelin Ashryver Galathynius—and...
She lifted her chin. I've been shouting for you.Sam shrugged, sauntering over to her. I figured you could wait a few minutes, given that I saved the day and all. His brows rose high on his ash-covered...

She didn’t tell the Healer on High that she wasn’t entirely sure how much longer she’d be a help—not yet. Hadn’t whispered a word of that doubt to anyone, even Chaol. Yrene’s hand drifted across her a...
She didn’t know how long they stood on that roof, tangled up in each other, mouths and hands roving until she moaned and dragged him through the greenhouse, down the stairs, and into the carriage wait...
She didn't let herself finish that thought, though crippling nausea gripped her as she scanned the banks and docks and sewer depositories.He would be waiting for her at home. And then he'd chide her a...
