Quotes by Sara Dahmen (?)

“Wait! It was Narcyz, in bed with Milena, not Marek, kissing her sister and leaving purple-red bruises on her back…”
― Sara Dahmen, Seven Nights in the Dying Castle

“Or was it because she had read so many silly tales of dragon-princes and…snake-swan-monkey…”
― Sara Dahmen, Seven Nights in the Dying Castle

“You said the magic assumes I will choose home, will choose the easy way… the comfort of returning to what my existence was before. Perhaps the other girls preferred it, and the castle reminds them of what they left behind. Love and happiness and good food. But the only memories I have of Miódshire is decay. I have no desire to return. But to stay here and wed you? A marriage without love? You do not even wish to hold me.”
― Sara Dahmen, Seven Nights in the Dying Castle
