“But saying that she wished he could return with her to Adarlan, to Terrasen, was pointless. He had no way to break his oath to Maeve, and she had nothing to entice him with even if he could.

But it did not stop her from wishing she could keep him.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Heir of Fire

“She said softly, “You make me want to live, Rowan. Not survive; not exist. Live.”

― Sarah J. Maas, Queen of Shadows
