“Now you listen to me...you may be one badass Sentinel, but guess what, so am I now. Stop questioning your place in our lives. Stop doubting us when we say that no matter what, this is what we want. You are what we want. The scorching I just got from those runes? That’s nothing compared to the hurt when you doubt me, doubt your place with us. So get your shit together, Killer. Either you’re in, or you’re out.”

“HELP. THE WORD, THE OFFERING, the act itself, can be a surprisingly divisive thing. There have been times in my life where I treated the notion like a venomous threat, and others where I saw it for the lifeline it was.

Knowing that you can’t do everything alone, that no one is meant to, takes strength and fortitude.”

“Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find me, unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll. I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.”
― Ivy Asher, Awakened and Betrayed

“Who.” Aeson takes another step. “Did.” And another. “This.” Tahir scrambles back, and several drakes shout orders for everyone to move out of the way. “To.” Blay charges. At first, I think he’s going to tackle Aeson, but he streaks past, diving for one of the massive archways instead. A mountain-sized purple dragon erupts out of him, the beast launching itself off the outer lip of the tower. An enraged roar reverberates through the dragon stone floors, walls, and ceiling as Blay’s dragon streaks away. “You.”

“A strike of purple magic blinks up my torso, and I roll my eyes at it. You mind your own damn business, magic, and just so we’re clear, hoarding is not an attractive trait. Violet magic sparks up on my arm and moves across the back of my hand and blinks out at the tip of my middle finger. I stare at my hand, open-mouthed, not sure if I should laugh or be offended by the fact that I’m pretty sure my magic just told me to fuck off. I laugh. Cheeky fucking magic!”
― Ivy Asher, The Marked and the Broken

slightly weird sensation. It’s not full-blown butterflies
wreaking havoc on my insides, not like I’ve felt with… I shut

tell myself. Besides, butterflies are cute in theory, but when
you look closely, they’re really just creepy looking bugs.”

“without a doubt her. “I hate to be the one to tell you this, but your Zeph lust passed the line of desperate creeper weeks ago. It’s not a cute look Pigeon.” Ryn’s face pops up in my head like a slap. “Of course you want them both,” I grumble. “Why wouldn’t you line up for the two-for-one asshole sale? What the hell are you going to do with both of them?”
― Ivy Asher, The Hidden
