Monster. And yet... For her friends, for her family, she would gladly be a monster. For Rowan, for Dorian, for Nehemia, she would debase and degrade and ruin herself.
Maps had always interested her; there was something bewitching in knowing one’s precise location in relation to others on the earth.
Many happy returns, she said. She’d had a little speech prepared, but now that they were here, now that his eyes were so bright, and he was looking at her the way he had last night … all the words wen...
Manon told herself it was for an alliance. Told herself it was for show.But all she could see was the unconditional love in that dying wyvern's eyes as she unbuckled her harness, stood from the saddle...
Manon gazed westward across the mountains. Hope, Elide had said—hope for a better future. For a home. Not obedience, brutality, discipline. But hope.
Manon found herself walking toward the wyvern, and stopped with not five feet between them. He’s mine, Manon said, taking in the scars, the limp, the burning life in those eyes. The witch and the wyve...
Maeve stirs across the sea. Two goddesses walk hand in hand with Aelin. More than that, Mala and Deanna have watched over her the entirety of her life. But perhaps it wasn’t watching. Perhaps it was …...

Lysandra sat in bed, face drawn but eyes narrowed at the queen. It was the shifter who purred, Enjoy your ride? Aedion didn’t dare move and was giving Dorian a warning look to do the same. Rowan bit d...

Lucien said he didn’t care that she wasn’t one of the High Fae, that he was certain the mating bond would snap into place soon and that he was going to marry her and leave his father’s court to his sc...
Lucien only nodded. But I felt his gaze on my back, fixed right on my spine, as I headed downstairs. To see Ianthe. And at last decide how I was going to shred her into pieces.
Lorcan's onyx eyes were unreadable as he scanned her face. And then he said quietly, I wanted to go to Perranth with you.Lorcan dropped the shield.
Lorcan rolled his eyes, and Aelin deemed that acceptance enough as she asked them all, Did anyone bother to sleep? Only Fenrys lifted his hand. Aedion frowned at the dark stain on the stones. We’re pu...
Live, Manon.
Life isn't easy, no matter where you are. You'll make choices you think are right, and then suffer for them.
Let these men play at being gods.

I’m thinking, he said, following the flick of my tongue over my bottom lip, that I look at you and feel like I’m dying. Like I can’t breathe. I’m thinking that I want you so badly I can’t concentrate...
