“Quite the pair of admirers you’ve collected,” Beck says, appearing at my side with a grin. “The legacy prince and the scarred warrior. If this were a bard’s tale, there’d be a duel by sunset.”

Valerie’s Quotes

“I don’t care how hard being together is, nothing is worse than being apart.”
― Josephine Angelini, Starcrossed

“Nobody wants to be born a One. One’s have the shortest lifespan. They must turn themselves in to The Protectorate for termination at age twenty-five. If I were ever going to feel sympathy for Darian, it would be because of that. Knowing he’d die the youngest of all the citizens is probably what made Darian go mad.”
― Shannon Duffy, Awakening

“Darian murdered them in cold blood. That’s a crime punishable with life in the Terrorscape, where you experience the worst nightmares imaginable.”

“His forehead bumped softly against mine, his brilliant silver gaze searing into me. “I plan to keep you, from everyone, for as long as I’m alive. That includes Puck, the false king, and anyone else who would take you away.” One corner of his mouth quirked, as I struggled to catch my breath under his powerful scrutiny. “I guess I should’ve warned you that I have a slight possessive streak.”
― Julie Kagawa, The Iron Queen
