“I have walked in Death to the very precipice of the Ninth Gate," Abhorsen said quietly. "I know the secrets and horrors of the Nine Precincts. I do not know what lies beyond, but everything that lives must go there, in the proper time. That is the rule that governs our work as the Abhorsen, but it also governs us.

“What was it like?" Manon asked quietly. "To love."
For love was what it had been—what Asterin perhaps alone of all the Ironteeth witches had felt, had learned.
"It was like dying a little every day. It was like being alive, too. It was joy so complete it was pain. It destroyed me and unmade me and forged me.

I loved her in a way I cannot describe—other than to tell you that it was the most powerful thing I've ever felt, greater than rage, than lust, than magic." A soft smile.

"Good," Asterin said. "We're immortals. Things should change, and often, or they'll get boring."
Manon lifted her brows, and her Second grinned.
Manon shook her head and grinned back.”
