Marie Montine
“Over the years, the rough edges of torture hardened her soft face and dimmed the brilliance of her eyes. In her trials of fighting to have his father regain the Light, she had in turn lost her own.”
Marie Montine, Arising Son: Part One

Marie Montine
“Sand rose into the air, spinning a maelstrom of protection against bullets. She looked up at him: his face contorted with concentration while the wind played with his dark hair. His arms tightened around her until she felt every contour of his body against hers. Her heart raced faster than the churning sand, and her breath was lost as if the vortex siphoned it.”
Marie Montine, Arising Son: Part Two
