    Leigh Bardugo
    “Maybe there were people who lived those lives. Maybe this girl was one of them. But what about the rest of us? What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls? We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. We learn to wring magic from the ordinary. That was how you survived when you weren’t chosen, when there was no royal blood in your veins. When the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

    “I fell in love with you, smartass, because you were one of us—because you weren’t afraid of me, and you decided to end your spectacular victory by throwing that piece of bone at Amarantha like a javelin.

    “She is my mate. And my spy,' I said too quietly. 'And she is the High Lady of the Night Court.'
    'What?' Mor whsipered.
    I caressed a mental finger down that bond now hidden deep, deep within us, and said, 'If they had removed her other glove, they would have seen a second tatoo on her right arm. The twin to the other. Inked last night, when we crept out, found a priestess, and I swore her in as my High Lady.' (...) 'Not consort, not wife. Feyre is High Lady of the Night Court.' My equal in every way; she would wear my crown, sit on a throne beside mine. Never sidelined, never designated to breeding and parties and child rearing. My queen.”

    “He removed her hand from his cheek to kiss the tips of her fingers. “I get scared, too,” he murmured onto her skin. “You want to hear something ridiculous? Whenever I’m scared out of my wits, I tell myself: My name is Sam Cortland … and I will not be afraid. I’ve been doing it for years.”

    “Sam," she said.
    "I'm trying!"
    "Sam," she repeated.
    "No," he spat, hearing her tone. "No!"
    He began screaming for help then. Celaena pressed her face to one of the holes in the grate. Help wasn't going to come-not fast enough.
    "Please," Sam begged as he beat and yanked on the grate, he tried to wedge another dagger under the lid. "Please don't."
    She knew he wasn't speaking to her.
    The water hit her neck.
    "Please," Sam moaned, his fingers now touching hers. She'd have one last breath. Her last words.
    "Take my body home to Terrasen, Sam," she whispered. And with a gasping breath, she went under.”

    “And Celaena felt it.
    She felt each footstep, the phantom bruises on her face throbbing with the memory of Arobynn's fists. And suddenly, as the memory of that day echoed through her, she remembered the words Sam kept screaming at Arobynn as the king of the Assassins beat her, the words that she somehow forgotten in the fog of pain:
    'I'll kill you!'
    Sam has said it like he meant it. He'd bellowed it. Again and again and again.”

    “I love you,” he repeated, shaking her again. “I have for years. But if I asked you to pick, you’d choose Arobynn, and I. Can’t. Take. It.”
    “You’re a damned idiot,” she breathed grabbing the front of his tunic. “You’re a moron and an ass and a damned idiot." He looked like she had hit him. But she went on, and grasped both sides of his face. “Because I’d pick you.”

    “What are you doing?”
    “What?”
    Emrys didn’t raise his voice as he said, “To that girl. What are you doing that makes her come in here with such emptiness in her eyes?”
    “That’s none of your concern.”
    Emrys pressed his lips into a tight line. “What do you see when you look at her, Prince?”
    He didn’t know. These days, he didn’t know a damn thing. “That’s none of your concern, either.”
    Emrys ran a hand over his weathered face. “I see her slipping away, bit by bit, because you shove her down when she so desperately needs someone to help her back up.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Heir of Fire
