    Sabaa Tahir
    “Above, the heavens glow, the sky pale with starlight. Some long-buried part of me understands that this is beauty, but I am unable to wonder at it, the way I did when I was a boy.

Back then, my world had been sand and sky and the love of Tribe Saif, who saved me from exposure. Back then, everything was different.”

    Almost fragile.
    Almost safe.
    Almost like a princess.”
    Marissa Meyer, Cress

    Not all those who wander are lost;

    A light from the shadows shall spring;
    Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
    The crownless again shall be king.”
