“And then I unwind her.
One strand for my mother.
One for my father.
One for me.

I am her and she is me.”
― Tracy Deonn, Legendborn

“No other Merlin can protect you like I can because no other Merlin feels about you the way I do. I want you to live because I want you to be happy. Not because of a spell, but because so very many things would break and go dark if you weren't in the world. Myself included.”
― Tracy Deonn, Bloodmarked
