“Let me make you the queen that you are. Let me guard your body, your soul, your heart. Let me spend the rest of my fucking pathetic life at your mercy. If I need to die, then let me do it by your hand. Please.”
― Carissa Broadbent, The Ashes & the Star-Cursed King

“I wanted to travel the world and sail every sea. I wanted to have adventures, to be a hero, to have my tales told in courtyards and street fairs, where perhaps kids who’d grown up like me, with more imagination than means, might be inspired to dream. Where women who were told there was only one sort of respectful life for them could listen to tales of another who’d broken away—and thrived when she’d done so.”
― S.A. Chakraborty, The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi

“I love the words I write until I soon realize how much I hate them, as if I am destined to always be at war within myself.”
― Rebecca Ross, Divine Rivals

“I’d spend a lifetime at the tip of your blade, and it would have been worth it.”
― Carissa Broadbent, The Ashes & the Star-Cursed King
