"I have been stuck here. for some reason have no motivatiob to continue. Relationship between the MCs resolved without any drama and I missed some slow natural development… it was kind of disappointing. I get that author can now focus in other chalanges, I read several books in the meantime and still sont feel like finishing this one. But I will. Surely." — Dec 04, 2024 01:30AM

“If you had taken any longer, I would’ve suffocated under the weight of that thing. What use are my friends if they can’t follow me being dragged through a cave by a half-blind lizard?”
“So I take it you guys are going to stay inside my flat and not out in the hallway like my father's guards?"
Syn scoffed. "You know that's the most pathetic way to guard someone." In a falsetto he added. "Please protect my life by being outside so that when they come in and kill me you can't hear it." He shook his head. "You want to live right?"
"Absolutely."
"Then we're where you are, bathroom breaks being the only exception-unless you're in public, and then we get to risk additional arrest records."

“As a trained League assassin, Nykyrian Quiakides was literally one with the blackest night. No one ever saw him coming or going.
They only felt the sting of death as he dealt it to them.”

“He took a drink of the juice and cursed. "What is this shit? Poison?"
Nykyrian took his acerbic tone in stride. "You can't live on alcohol."
"Wanna bet?"
"Wanna die?" Nykyrian pushed the juice back toward Syn. "Drink it and quit bitching."
Syn mouthed those words back mockingly and added an extremely obscene insult to it. "You know, you're a little hairy to be my mother." He pulled out a small flask and added it to the juice.
Nykyrian let out a deep, fierce growl that actually scared her.
Syn ignored it as he drank the alcohol-laced juice. "Much better."

“Kiara's common sense told her to leave, that he was too angry to talk to, but she couldn't.
Before she could rethink her actions, she crossed the room and shoved him away from the bag.
Stumbling two steps before he caught himself, he gave her an astonished look. The bag swung in an arc between them. "Are you out of your fucking mind?"
"Apparently. 'Cause I'd have to be to shove at you after what I just saw, but it got your attention, didn't it? And now you're going to talk to me."
