The Runaway King Quotes

“I need a sword first," I said. "People here keep taking mine.”
― Jennifer A. Nielsen, The Runaway King

“Erick had underestimated the distance, both to the ground and the cliff above me, yet the texture of the cliff wall was better than I'd hoped for. Vines and plants grew dense and well rooted, and there were many rocks and missing chunks of earth. I didn't know whether I could make it to the top on one leg or not, but I thought it was a great day to try.”
― Jennifer A. Nielsen, The Runaway King
