“The mind is a mysterious place. In its vast and many corners are hidden pieces of knowledge. When we sleep, they float up in the form of dreams. They can be wild, have a mind of their own, and lead us to places. They can carry messages or warnings. If they recur, one must heed them.”

“Rea felt within her the desire to avenge Xeranther's Par, to bring the Queen to justice not only for what she did to Rohan but also for all of Astranthia, especially Xeranther.

This is what true friendship feels like, she thought: a promise to always be there for one another. Rea, Leela, and Xeranther held hands as Oleandra pulled a silver thimble from the air and pricked her thumb on a thorn. A drop of her blood fell into the vessel and she beckoned them to do the same.”
