“I am the Queen of Elfhame.
Even though I am the queen in exile, I am still the queen.
And that means Madoc isn't just trying to take Cardon's throne.

“The curse is broken. The king is returned."
He's every bit as terrifying as any serpent.
I don't care. I run into his arms.
Cardan's fingers dig into my back. He's trembling, and whether it is from ebbing magic or horror, I am not sure. But he holds me as though I am the only solid thing in the world.”

“The next time you want to make a point,' Jude says, 'I beg you not to make it so dramatically.'

"Your true name is written here," she said tapping his chest. "Tattooed on your heart. You don't let just anyone read it.”

“After a long moment, he said, "Aleksander."
A little laugh escaped me. He arched a brow, a smile tugging at his lips. "What?"
"It's just so... common." Such an ordinary name, held by kings and peasants alike.
His smile deepened and he cocked his head to the side. It almost hurt to see him this way. "Will you say it?" he asked.
"Aleksander," I whispered.”
