Winter Court Quotes

“What are you doing here?” Prince Sulien asks, ignoring my inquiry, an edge to his words. His irritated tone helps to snap me from my dirty thoughts. A little.

“I don’t know what I’m doing here. Maybe I was just drawn to your room by some kind of magical force,” I tell him sarcastically.

Prince Zane smiles seductively. “My room’s across the hall… If you ever feel a magical force and want to head there, you’re welcome.”
― Lacey Carter Andersen, Shadow of the Crown

“Towering, exquisite palaces, full of roaring hearths and bedecked in evergreens. Carved sleighs were the court's preferred method of transportation, hauled by velvet-antlered reindeer whose splayed hooves were ideal for the ice and snow. Their forces were well trained, but they often relied on the great, white bears that stalked the realm for any unwanted visitors.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Wings and Ruin

“Long-limbed creatures like shards of ice given form stalked past, tall enough to plant the cobalt-and-silver banners atop various tents; wagons were hauled by sure-footed reindeer and lumbering white bears in ornate armour, some so keenly aware when they ambled by that I wouldn't have been surprised if they could talk. White foxes scuttled about underfoot, bearing what looked to be messages strapped to their little embroidered vests.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Wings and Ruin

“Let's assume it was probably internal fairy stuff. That cuts it down to three suspects."

"Three?"

"The three people who could have managed it.
Summer Queen, Winter Queen, Winter Knight. 1, 2, 3."

"Harry, I said it could have been one of the queens...."

I blinked up at the skull.

"There are more than two?"

"Yea... technically there are three."

"THREE?"

"...In each court."

THREE QUEENS? In each court?! That's just silly..."

"No, not if you think about it. Each court has three queens. The queen who was, the queen who is, and the queen who is to come."

"Greeeat.... Which one does the knight work for?"

"All of them. It's kind of a group thing. He has different duties to each queen."

I felt the headache start at the base of my neck and creep towards the base of my head.”
― Jim Butcher, Summer Knight
