“Once upon a time, in a land long since burned to ash, there lived a young princess who loved her kingdom”
― Sarah J. Maas, Kingdom of Ash

“I savor the touch, basking in how sweet it is. Temporary, fleeting, and a blaring reminder of what I lost. No matter how much time has gone by, I never cared for her less, my love for her never withering in the slightest. I clung to it desperately. The last remaining shred of my humanity fading into memories of a time far in the past but never forgotten.”
― Tessa James, Untamed Vixen

“Maybe in the end, that’s what love was. Forgiveness. Undeniable, unsolicited, and at times unrequited.”
― Santana Knox, Heartless Heathens

“And it was not darkness, but light—light, bright and pure as the sun on snow, that erupted from Asterin.
Light, as Asterin made the Yielding.
As the Thirteen, their broken bodies scattered around the tower in a near-circle, made the Yielding as well.
Light. They all burned with it. Radiated it.
Light that flowed from their souls, their fierce hearts as they gave themselves over to that power. Became incandescent with it.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Kingdom of Ash
