    “How?"

    "With the strength of the most powerful force in the world. The most powerful force in any realm. What brings loyalty beyond death, undimming despite the years. What remains unwavering in the face of hopelessness."

    [...] Through love, all is possible.”
    Sarah J. Maas, House of Earth and Blood

    “She looked at them, at the three males who meant everything—more than everything. Then she smiled with every last shred of courage, of desperation, of hope for the glimmer of that glorious future. “Let’s go rattle the stars.”

    “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

    Sarah J. Maas
    “I missed you,” he said quietly, his gaze darting between her mouth and eyes. “When I was in
    Wendlyn. I lied when I said I didn’t. From the moment you left, I missed you so much I went out of my
    mind. I was glad for the excuse to track Lorcan here, just to see you again. And tonight, when he had
    that knife at your throat …” The warmth of his callused finger bloomed through her as he traced a path
    over the cut on her neck. “I kept thinking about how you might never know that I missed you with only
    an ocean between us. But if it was death separating us … I would find you. I don’t care how many
    rules it would break. Even if I had to get all three keys myself and open a gate, I would find you
    again. Always.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Queen of Shadows

    “Thirty minutes later, Rowan was still staring up at the ceiling, teeth gritted as he calmed the roaring in
    his veins that was steadily shredding through his self-control.
    That gods-damned nightgown.
    Shit.
    He was in such deep, unending shit.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Queen of Shadows

    “Fae warriors: invaluable in a fight—and raging pains in her ass at all other times.”

    Sarah J. Maas
    “Celaena shuddered. "This conversation's become far too awful to have after eating." she said, slumping against the pillows. "Tell me which one of your little cadre is the handsomest, and if he would fancy me."
    Rowan choked. "The thought of you with any of my companions makes my blood run cold."
    "They're that awful? Your kitty-cat friend looked decent enough."
    Rowan's brows rose high. "I don't think my kitty-cat friend would know what to do with you-nor would any of the others. It would likely end in bloodshed." She kept grinning, and he crossed his arms. "They would likely have very little interest in you, as you'll be old and decrepit soon enough and thus not worth the effort it would take to win you."
    She rolled her eyes. "Killjoy.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Heir of Fire

    Sarah J. Maas
    “What in hell is that?”
    She kept going toward the bathroom, refusing to apologize or look down at the pink, delicate, very
    short lace nightgown. When she emerged, face washed and clean, Rowan was sitting up, arms crossed
    over his bare chest. “You forgot the bottom part.”
    She merely blew out the candles in the room one by one. His eyes tracked her the entire time.
    “There is no bottom part,” she said, flinging back the covers on her side. “It’s starting to get so hot,
    and I hate sweating when I sleep. Plus, you’re practically a furnace. So it’s either this or I sleep
    naked. You can sleep in the bathtub if you have a problem with it.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Queen of Shadows

    “It was a long story, and sometimes she grew quiet and cried - and during those times he leaned over to wipe away her tears.”

    “Where is Aelin.
    Where is my wife?”

    Sarah J. Maas
    “His breath caught, harsh enough that she looked over her shoulder.

    But his eyes weren't on her face. Or the water. They were on her bare back.

    Curled as she was against her knees, he could see the whole expanse of ruined flesh, each scar from the lashing. "Who did that to you?"

    It would have been easy to lie, but she was so tired, and he had saved her useless hide. So she said, "A lot of people. I spent some time in the Salt Mines of Endovier."

    He was so still that she wondered if he'd stopped breathing. "How long?" he asked after a moment. She braced herself for the pity, but his face was so carefully blank-no, not blank. Calm with lethal rage.

    "A year. I was there a year before... it's a long story." She was too exhausted, her throat too raw, to say the rest of it. She noticed then his arms were bandaged, and more bandages across his broad chest peeked up from beneath his shirt. She'd burned him again. And yet he had held her- had run all the way here and not let go once.

    "You were a slave."

    She gave him a slow nod. He opened his mouth, but shut it and swallowed, that lethal rage winking out. As if he remembered who he was talking to and that it was the least punishment she deserved.

    He turned on his heel and shut the door behind him. She wished he'd slammed it-wished he'd shattered it. But he closed it with barely more than a click and did not return.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Heir of Fire

    “And tell Rowan,” Aelin said, fighting her own sob, “that I'm sorry I lied. But tell him it was all borrowed time anyway. Even before today, I knew it was all just borrowed time, but I still wish we'd had more of it.” She fought past her trembling mouth. “Tell him he has to fight. He must save Terrasen, and remember the vows he made to me. And tell him . . . tell him thank you—for walking that dark path with me back to the light.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Empire of Storms

    Sarah J. Maas
    “I spent centuries wandering the world, from empires to kingdoms to wastelands, never settling, never stopping—not for one moment. I was always looking toward the horizon, always wondering what waited across the next ocean, over the next mountain. But I think … I think that whole time, all those centuries, I was just looking for you.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Queen of Shadows

    “Rowan’s head was still angled as he asked, “Your mothers were cousins, Prince, but who sired
    you?”
    Aedion lounged in his chair. “Does it matter?”
    “Do you know?” Rowan pressed.
    Aedion shrugged. “She never told me—or anyone.”
    “I’m guessing you have some idea?” Aelin asked.
    Rowan said, “He doesn’t look familiar to you?”
    “He looks like me.”
    “Yes, but—” He sighed. “You met his father. A few weeks ago. Gavriel”
    Sarah J. Maas, Queen of Shadows

    “From tears to sass in a few minutes. I'm glad the month apart hasn't dimmed your usual good spirits.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Queen of Shadows

    Sarah J. Maas
    You make me want to live, Rowan.

    He wondered if Elide Lochan had somehow made Lorcan want to do the same.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Empire of Storms

    Sarah J. Maas
    “How can I take away somebody who means the world to someone else? Even if she is my enemy.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Queen of Shadows

    Sarah J. Maas
    “She dared a look at Rowan, whose face remained carefully blank, but saw the words there anyway. You wicked, clever fox. And here you were, thinking the red hair was just for vanity. I shall never doubt again.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Queen of Shadows

    “Rowan had not possessed an army of his own to give to Aelin. To give to Terrasen. So he had won an army for her.”

    “Why bother when a dramatic entrance is so much more fun?”
    Sarah J. Maas, Empire of Storms

    Sarah J. Maas
    “I can't bury another friend."
    "You won't."
    "If anything ever happened to you, Rowan-"
    "Don't" he breathed. "Don't even say it. We dealt with that enough the other night."
    He lifted a hand - hesitated, and then brushed back a strand of hair that had fallen across her face. His callused fingers scrapped against her cheekbone, then caressed the shell of her ear.
    It was foolish to even start down that road, when every other man she'd let in had left some wound, in one way or another, accidentally or not.
    There was nothing tender in his face. Only a predator's glittering gaze. "When we get back," he said, "remind me to prove you wrong about every thought that just went through your head."
    She lifted an eyebrow. "Oh?"
    He gave her a sly smile that made thinking impossible. Exactly what he wanted - to distract her from the horrors of tomorrow. "I'll even let you decide how I tell you: with words"- his eyes flickered once to her mouth- "or with my teeth and tongue.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Queen of Shadows

    Sarah J. Maas
    “But she was the one person I could be myself around and never feel judged. The one person that I knew would always pick up the phone, or call me back. She was the one person who made me feel brave because no matter what happened, no matter how bad or embarrassing or shitty it was, I knew that I had her in my corner. That if it all went to Hel, I could talk to her and it would be fine.”
    Sarah J. Maas, House of Earth and Blood

    “Have I told you how hideous you look tonight?” Cardan asks, leaning back in the elaborately carved chair, the warmth of his words turning the question into something like a compliment.
    “No” I say, glad to be annoyed back into the present. “Tell me.”
    "I can't.”
    Holly Black, The Cruel Prince

    “He leaned against the window, and the gilded frame came into sharp focus. “Do you think it would be any different with your tracker beside you? With that Lantsov pup?”
    “Yes,” I said simply.
    “Because you would be the strong one?”
    “Because they’re better men than you.”
    “You might make me a better man.”
    “And you might make me a monster.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Ruin and Rising

    “Weakness is a guise. Wear it when they need to know you're human, but never when you feel it.”
