Summer

“Love and madness are two stars in the same sky. You cannot build a roof to keep out last year’s rain.”
― Alexandra Christo, To Kill a Kingdom

“I’ve made a mistake. It started with a prince, as most stories do. Once I felt the thrum of his heart beneath my fingers, I couldn’t forget it.”
― Alexandra Christo, To Kill a Kingdom

“In the pits of our souls - if I amuse myself with the notion that I have a soul - Elian and I aren't so different. Two kingdoms that come with responsibilities we each have trouble bearing. Him, the shackles of being pinned to one land and one life. Me, trapped in the confines of my mother's murderous legacy. And the ocean, calling out to us both. A song of freedom and longing.”
― Alexandra Christo, To Kill a Kingdom

“It's like holding a story rather than a person; she feels wild and infinite in my arms.”
― Alexandra Christo, To Kill a Kingdom
