“We are the Bloodsworn, closer than kin. A brotherhood, a sisterhood: we live and die together.”
― John Gwynne, The Shadow of the Gods

“When Gods go to war, it is no small thing.”
― John Gwynne, The Shadow of the Gods

“All books, no matter their binding, will fall to dust. The stories they carry may last longer. They might outlive the paper, the library, even the language in which they were first written.”
