“When the war has lasted twenty years...
the dragonets will come.
When the land is soaked in blood and tears...
the dragonets will come.

Find the SeaWing egg of deepest blue.
Wings of night shall come to you.
The largest egg in mountain high
will give to you the wings of sky.
For wings of earth, search through the mud
for an egg the color of dragon blood.
And hidden alone from the rival queens,
the SandWing egg awaits unseen.

Of three queens who blister and blaze and burn,
two shall die and one shall learn
if she bows to a fate that is stronger and higher,
she'll have the power of wings of fire.

Five eggs to hatch on brightest night,
five dragons born to end the fight.
Darkness will rise to bring the light.
The dragonets are coming....”
― Tui T. Sutherland, The Dragonet Prophecy

― Tui T. Sutherland, Moon Rising

“I order you not to die,” Tsunami said, grabbing his shoulder. “Clay, stop, STOP IT. Stop dying RIGHT NOW.” Her normally bossy voice was full of panic.”
― Tui T. Sutherland, The Brightest Night

“Ha ha, imagine Winter singing! I wonder if he can scowl and sing and look darkly handsome and mortally offended all at the same time. Probably.”
― Tui T. Sutherland, Moon Rising

“And I'm the only one with a plan," Fitz reminded them.
"Hey- I've got plans," Keefe argued.
"Plans that don't involve tormenting Dame Alina," Fitz clarified.
"But those are always the best plans!”
― Shannon Messenger, Everblaze

“Because our family doesn't decide who we are. WE decide who we are. Believe me, it drives my parents crazy. And sometimes, that's the only thought that gets me through the day.”
― Shannon Messenger, Everblaze

“Sophie flung a pillow at his head.

Or, she tried to.

Throwing with her left arm was much harder than she expect, and...

She ended up nailing Magnate Leto in the face.

Keefe doubled over, clutching his sides and gasping between choking laughs: “THAT...WAS...THE...GREATEST...THING...IVE...EVER...SEEN!”
― Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“Why else would you spend so much time helping Miss Fosters causes?”

“Uh... you’ve seen how cute she is, right?” Keefe asked.”
― Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“Keefe tried to break the tension, pumping his fist and shouting, “LORD HUNKYHAIR LIVES! Say it now, Ro. Say it!”
― Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“Yeah, what time should we arrive to catch the Great Fitzphie Ooze Fest?” Keefe asked.

“We’re not calling it that,” Sophie told him.

“Oh, I think we are. And don’t worry, Foster,” Keefe added, patting her on the head. “I’ll still love you when you’re oozy.”
― Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“Keefe’s smile looked determined as he stepped back and took Sophie’s hand. “I’m always with you, Foster. What ever you want, I’m in.”
― Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“It’s amazing he made it through without me bashing his pretty face.”

“Aw, did you hear that? Ro thinks I’m pretty! I mean- I usually go for more of a roguish handsome, but...” He tosses his hair and fluttered his eyelashes.

Sophie’s lips curled into a smile-without her permission.”
― Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“Why do clothes never have enough pockets? There should always be lots of pockets... the more pockets the better!”
― Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“Hang on – what are you wearing?” Keefe asked as she threw back her covers, revealing the sparkly slogans on her tunic. “Is that a Bangs Boy reference? Because you know I haven’t let him into the Foster Fan Club, right?”

Sophie rolled her eyes. “It’s an inside joke – and Linh made this for me.”

”Yeah, well, it still breaks the fan club rules. As penance, I’m giving you a tunic that says, ‘Empaths Give Me All the Feels,” and I expect to see you wear it twice as much as Bang Boys.”
― Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“Sophie sighed. “You don’t have to do this.”

“If you’re talking about being adorable, I really can’t help myself.”

He said it with a wink and a smirk-which wasn’t playing fair. But she managed to stop her lips from curling into a smile.”
― Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“Thank you,” she said as he walked her back to the Healing Center and she tried to make a note of the route so she could find the secret cafeteria again. “Tonight would’ve been... pretty rough if you hadn’t stopped by.”

“I know,” he told her. “For me too.”

“Awwwwwww, you guys are SO adorable,” Ro jumped in.”
― Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“Relax, Foster,” Keefe said, squeezing her good hand and lacing their fingers together.

“You okay there?” he whispered.

She nodded, not quite ready to use her voice.

Not ready to let go of his hand, either.”
― Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“You’re in this, like, Ultra Knight in Shining Armor mode-“

“Aw, you hear that, Ro? Foster thinks I’m her hero!”
― Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“Linh grinned. “I think I need to get Happy Shadow Thoughts embroidered on a tunic for you- with a bunch of smiley faces.”

“I definitely think I need to see him wear that,” Sophie agreed. “Especially if it’s pink.”

“Hot pink,” Linh decided. “With sparkly letters.”

“And it should say Angry echoes-beware! on the back!” Sophie added.”
― Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“What?” Sophie asked, wiping under her lashes when she noticed Keefe staring. “Did I smudge it?”

“No, Foster. You look... perfect.”
― Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“...if you lose, you’ll have to wear a metal diaper to school and call me Lord Hunkyhair from now on.”

“Uh... yeah, no,” Fitz said as Biana asked, “Hunkyhair?”

“Lord Hunkyhair,” Keefe corrected. “What? It’s accurate.” He tossed his head like he was in a shampoo commercial. “I think we need to make it a thing either way- don’t you, Foster?”

“I think you’re ridiculous,” Sophie told him.”
― Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“Wanna bet?” Keefe countered.

“Bad idea,” Sophie told him. “You’ve won twice now- that means you’re pretty much guaranteed to lose. Especially since this bet relies on me again.”

He grinned. “Exactly, Foster. You’re always the safe bet.”
― Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“She steeled herself for a serious shock of cold- but the reality was a thousand times more miserable.

“Aw, those little shrieking sounds you’re making are super adorable,” Keefe told her. “Ready to punch me yet?”

“S-splashing y-you s-sounds b-better,” she said through chattering teeth.

“I suppose. But we both know I’ll splash you back- and then you’ll retaliate, because you may look all sweet and innocent, but you have a feisty streak. And then it’ll be an ice-water war, and Elwin will ban me from the Healing Center and you’ll be lost without my visits, and Id rather not make you suffer like that.”
― Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“I was already planning to have us start with telekinesis, since that’s what got Foster all swoons about my skills in the first place.”

“I didn’t get swoons,” Sophie felt the need to point out.

“Keep telling yourself that, Foster. Keeeeeeeeeep telling yourself that.”
― Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“Keefe marched through the doors to the Healing Center and declared, “Wow, it’s like walking into a cloud of sulk in here.”

He fanned the air away from his face as he made his way over. “I mean, I figured you be feeling a little lost about your Cognate buddy, but trust me: Fitzy isn’t worth this much angst.”

”I’m not pouting about Fitz, “Sophie informed him.

“Ah, so you admit you are pouting? “He countered, plopping on to the side of her cot with enough oomph to make the mattress bounce.”
― Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“Okay, I’m done liking Captain Perfectpants,” Ro announced.”

“That was the first time it felt like… maybe I had a tiny shot at making this brave, beautiful, blushing girl like me. Hasn’t worked out that way yet. And I have no idea if it ever will. But there’s a teeny, tiny chance.”
― Shannon Messenger, Unlocked

“You are?” a new voice interrupted. A beautiful voice. Keefe’s favorite voice—even when it was all squeaky with worry.”
