“I wasn’t sure how one could seduce another into falling in love with them after stabbing them in the chest.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, A Shadow in the Ember

“You acted fearlessly. Each time I saw you. You interested me, and I hadn’t expected that. I didn’t want that. But at that lake, you were just Seraphena. And I was just Ash. There was no deal. No perceived obligations. You stayed simply because you wanted to. I stayed only because I wanted to. You let me touch you because that was what you wanted, not because you felt as if you had to. Maybe I should’ve told you, but I was…enjoying myself with you. I wasn’t ready for that to end.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, A Shadow in the Ember

“From the desperation of golden crowns and born of mortal flesh,
a great primal power rises as the heir to the lands and seas, to the skies and all the realms.
A shadow in the ember, a light in the flame, to become a fire in the flesh.
When the stars fall from the night, the great mountains crumble into the seas, and old bones raise their swords beside the gods,
the false one will be stripped from glory until two born of the same misdeeds, born of the same great and Primal power in the mortal realm.
A first daughter, with blood full of fire, fated for the once-promised King.
And the second daughter, with blood full of ash and ice, the other half of the future King.
Together, they will remake the realms as they usher in the end.
‘And so it will begin with the last Chosen blood spilled,
the great conspirator birthed from the flesh and fire of the Primals will awaken as the Harbinger and the Bringer of Death and Destruction to the lands gifted by the gods.
Beware, for the end will come from the west to destroy the east and lay waste to all which lies between.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, A Shadow in the Ember

“You are the heir to the lands and seas, skies and realms. A Queen instead of a King. You are the Primal of Life.”
