“You should show that little trick to Jack Barlowe,' Xaden says, turning his palms upward and offering me my daggers.

His gazes locks onto the length of my braid where it falls over my shoulder, and I could swear he stops breathing for a heartbeat before he slides the remaining dagger into one of the sheaths at my ribs. 'He'd probably think twice about plotting your murder if you threw a few daggers at his head.”

― James C. Dobson, Life on the Edge: A Young Adult's Guide to a Meaningful Future
