“The sacrifices made in this war would have to be enough. Malini was monstrous enough to seize a throne and murder a brother. She was monstrous enough to continue the glorious, bloody cruelty of empire. She had made herself so.
She would choose now to be monstrous enough to let an enemy live, for the sake of keeping what was hers. She would choose love over goodness.
Let future generations face the yaksa once more. Let the rot continue. Only, let me have her.”
― Tasha Suri, The Lotus Empire

“Habibi. Hayati. Roohi.
My love, my life, my soul, the words meant, but their meanings went deeper than that.
Habibi was for friends and love that was real enough.
Hayati was when love became an all-encompassing thing. Deeper and deeper, until one became the others life.
Roohi was when a soul twined with its match and loved with the force of a thousand suns. When it slipped beneath the heart and tangled in the very fibres of an existence.”

“We hunt the flame, the light in the darkness, the good this world deserves.”
