Cardans Door Quotes

“I remember you,' says the door. 'My prince's lady.'

'You're mistaken,' I say.

'Seldom.' The door swings open with a slight creak that indicates disuse. 'Hail and welcome.”
― Holly Black, The Wicked King

“The polished wood door is still carved with an enormous and sinister face, still flanked with lanterns, but sprites no longer fly in desperate circles within. A soft glow of magic emanates instead.

'My king,' the door says fondly, it's eyes opening.

Cardan smiles in return. 'My door,' he says with a slight hitch in his voice, as though perhaps everything about returning here feel strange.

'Hail and welcome,' it says, and swings wide.”
― Holly Black, The Queen of Nothing
