Quotes by Kayliani Shi (?)

“I twist my sword into the ground. It spins and grinds into the gritty slate, which dulls its edge. “You could’ve found anyone else,” I mutter.

Ramiel traces circles with his finger on the ground next to him. His eyelids shade his irises evergreen. “Believe me, I tried.” He glances at me without moving his head, his eyes dark and dazzling in their moat of white”
― Kayliani Shi, The Sinuous Bargain of a Cowardly Prince

“Ether heaves a sigh and a tear slips from her eye, but she flicks it away before it drips down her cheek. In the light, her blue eyes sparkle like the sea north of Arioch. Exotic. Crystal clear. Melancholic.

Those eyes flash to mine, and she frowns. “What are you staring at?”
― Kayliani Shi, The Sinuous Bargain of a Cowardly Prince

“The thoughts creeping at the edges of my consciousness, sending waves of heat to my fingertips, are not my own. I know it’s all false and none of it real, yet I cannot deny the sizzle of passion in the air between us—tactile, real.”
― Kayliani Shi, The Sinuous Bargain of a Cowardly Prince
