Lorcan Salvatarre Quotes

“Lorcan reached out, grasping her chin and forcing her to look at him. Hopeless, bleak eyes met his. He brushed away a stray tear with his thumb. “I made a promise to protect you. I will not break it, Elide.”

“I will always find you,” he swore to her.

Her throat bobbed.

Lorcan whispered, “I promise.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Empire of Storms

“Lorcan had been born from and gifted with darkness. Returning to it was not a difficult task.

But letting that glimmering, lovely light before him die out . . . In his ancient, bitter bones, he could not accept it.
She had been forgotten—by everyone and everything. And still she had hoped. And still she had been kind to him.
And still she had offered him a glimpse of peace in the time he'd known her.

She had offered him a home.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Empire of Storms

“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

“Power called to power among the Fae. Perhaps Aelin Galathynius was unlucky the cadre had been drawn to Maeve’s power long before she was born, had chained themselves to her instead. Perhaps they were the unlucky ones, for not holding out for something better.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Empire of Storms

“And that power... that power Aelin was now dragging up from whatever hellhole was inside her, from whatever fiery pit she'd been damned to endure... Its wake would wash over them.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Empire of Storms

“I will marry you, Elide Lochan. And proudly call myself Lord Lorcan Lochan, even when the whole kingdom laughs to hear it.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Kingdom of Ash

“Soon now. They’d win the field soon, and the song in his blood would quiet. Part of him didn’t want it to end, even as his body began to scream to rest. Yet when the battle was done, what would remain? Nothing. Elide had made that clear enough. She loved him, but she hated herself for it. He hadn’t deserved her anyway. She deserved a life of peace, of happiness. He didn’t know such things. Had thought he’d glimpsed them during the months they’d traveled together, before everything went to hell, but now he knew he was not meant for anything like it. But this battlefield, this death-song around him … This, he could do. This, he could savor.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Kingdom of Ash

“Together. They would either outrun this or die together.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Kingdom of Ash

“Lorcan had sensed it once before, that day at Mistward. When the Queen of Terrasen had laid waste to the Valg princes, when her power had been a behemoth surging from the deep, setting the world trembling.

That was nothing-nothing---compared to the power that now roared into the world.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Empire of Storms

“Whitethorn knew- even at Mistward- that the queen hadn't yet stepped into her birthright. Knew that this sort of power came around once in an eon, and to serve it, to serve her...

A court that wouldn't just change the world. It would start the world over.

A court that could conquer this world- and any other it wished.

If it wished. If that woman on the plain desired to. And that was the question, wasn't it?”
― Sarah J. Maas, Empire of Storms

“A wild smile danced on Lorcan’s lips as he let his magic rise to the surface, let its black roar fill his veins.

He had crumbled cities with this power.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Queen of Shadows

“Elide stood on her toes, kissed his stubble-
rough cheek, and said, “I will always find you, too, Lorcan." She felt him staring at her, even when she’d climbed into bed minutes
later.

When she awoke, clean strips of linen for her cycle were next to the
bed.
His own shirt, washed and dried overnight—now cut up for her to use
as she would.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Empire of Storms

“Obeying the death-song in his blood, Lorcan let his shields drop. He did not wish it to be easy. He wanted to feel each blow, see his enemy’s life drain out beneath his sword. He didn’t care what came of it.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Kingdom of Ash

“Lorcan had nearly reached them, a dark wind swirling about his long fingers. Unfeeling. Arrogant. Cruel.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Kingdom of Ash

“Lorcan prowled to Rowan, his dark power flickering, rippling away across the waves as if in a silent boom of thunder.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Empire of Storms

“Lorcan's magic blasted from him in near invisible dark winds. Where it struck, soldiers went down. And did not rise.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Queen of Shadows

“Lorcan’s magic was that of will - of death and thought and destruction. There was no name for it. Not even his queen had known what it was, where it had come from. A gift from the dark god, from Hellas, Maeve had mused - a dark gift, for her dark warrior.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Empire of Storms

“Lorcan sent a wave of his dark power into them and they all dropped to the earth in a dark rain.

Every time he killed, she felt the earth shudder. Not in fear of him, but as if it were awakening. Listening.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Empire of Storms

“Lorcan’s onyx eyes were unreadable as he scanned her face. And then
he said quietly, “I wanted to go to Perranth with you.”
Lorcan dropped the shield.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Empire of Storms
