Maeve had lied. Or lied by omission. But she knew. She knew what the girl had gone through-knew she'd been a slave. That day-that day early on, he'd threatened to the girl, gods above. And she had lo...
Love—love was a balm as much as it was a poison.
Lorcan had been wrong. He had been so wrong. And he could not entirely regret it, not if Elide was safe, but … Aelin had refused to count. Cairn had unleashed his full strength on her with that whip,...
Like Hasar, she isn’t an easy person to be with, to understand. Aelin frightens everyone. He snorted. But not him. I think that’s why she fell in love with him, against her best intentions. Rowan behe...
I’d much rather you licked my wounds for me. My heart pounded, faster and faster, and a strange sort of rush went through my veins as I read the sentence again and again. A challenge. I clamped my lip...
It would be won by a woman willing to gamble with an entire island full of people to get what she needed to save them all. A woman whose friends were equally willing to play along, to rip their souls...
I wish you to become who you were born to be. To become queen.
He’d think about that later.
But he was a filthy pirate. They were Arobynn Hamel's assassin-educated, wealthy, refined. Slavery was beneath them.
But I couldn’t … I couldn’t stop being around you, and loving you, and wanting you. I still can’t stay away.

And now, the very thing that had earned her the right to call herself Adarlan's Assassin would be what sealed her doom.
And just because she could, just because they were headed to Terrasen at last, Aelin unleashed a flicker of her power. Some of the standard-bearers behind them murmured in surprise, but Rowan only smi...
And Chaol was afraid, but not for himself. He was afraid of what would come when Aedion and Aelin were reunited. For he'd seen in her that same glittering ember that made people look and listen. Had s...
All of this time, I thought you were just some pretty girl from Bellhaven who stole jewels to get her fathe's attentiin. Little did I know that the blond-haired girl was Queen of the Underworld.
