“Take it away, Bird,” Boojohni urged. I pressed my lips to Tiras’s breast once more and withdrew the word I’d inadvertently cursed him with.”

“We are Gifted. We are kings. You are exactly like me,” Zoltev urged”

“Lord Bin Dar, his cape and his terror billowing around him, flung out his hands. The fire met his palms and became water, drenching everyone around him.”

“Every girl wants to be queen,” she snarled, her expression shifting so quickly I saw a glimmer of beast. “I can be a lion, a snake, a bird, even a dragon. Why not a queen?”

“That I would let Lady Firi huddle in my castle whilst I sent my wife into battle?”
Yes.
“No, Lark.”

“They said he just . . . jumped. We never found his body.”
You will trade your soul and lose your son to the sky.”

“Shall we be friends, Lady Lark? That is your name, isn’t it?”
I wondered if I could trust Ariel of Firi. She had spoken up for me as I waited at the altar.”

“Because he would never harm you. If it was someone else . . .
“Our troubles are just beginning,” he finished my thought.”

Lord Gaul was suspicious bcs he kept his mind free of thoughts, also there were that time when she saw someone is in her room (might be an inside job), also Liege could also has a powerful Teller to control the Volgars

“I felt claimed without being wanted. It was a feeling I knew well.”

“What?” Kjell roared. He couldn’t have looked more stunned if Tiras had told him I was actually a lark and could lay eggs.”

“I couldn’t explain how it felt to converse with another human being. To actually converse.”

“I wandered from one word to the next, touching them, saying them in my mind. As I did, I was unable to stop the moisture that rose in my eyes and slipped down my cheeks. It was the happiest day of my life.”

🥹

“clinging to my friend with all the desperation of a lonely child. Boojohni stroked my hair and I wiped my wet eyes in his beard before pulling away and running my hands over his short arms and sturdy legs, my own way of asking him if he was okay.”

🤣

“He sighed. “Would you like to skip ahead to the chapter on disembowelment? This is a bit dry.”
I brought my hand to the page and pointed at the words impatiently, and he sighed again. I ran a finger under each word”

🥺

“flitting to the door he’d left gaping beyond him and dashing out into the wide hallway. I would return to my room, gladly. But I was taking a book.
I ran with the livid Kjell bellowing behind me,”

🤣

“Lark? That’s not a name,” he argued gently, almost as if he were offended on my behalf.
I lifted my eyes to his, because it was a name. It was my name.”

“I could listen and walk at the same time. Boojohni could not. His mouth and legs had difficulty running simultaneously. He tugged on my arm.”

🤣

“A man whose crop was saved by a teller who predicted a terrible storm and warned him to harvest early, agreed with her.
But the voices of fear and discontent are always loudest,”

true 😔

sometimes you could only watch them learn it the hard way

“His eyes widened as mine closed, and the words and the world grew quiet.”

🥺

“his fragile consort with her incredible will and her refusal to surrender.”

💞

“I slam it into your head fast, once, twice, until you crumple back against the seat. I gasp at the sudden blood on my trembling hands, on you. But you’re quiet again, eyes closed, compliant.”

umm will this end with her in the prison for life?

“This isn’t fair; it’s not what I deserve.
Is this my last view of you, my kidnapper? The end of it—of you, of us? I want to grab you and shout, No! This isn’t what I need.”

huh girl…..

“What just happened?
What the hell just happened to me?
I think I’ve turned into you. Someone who should be locked up.”

guess what? that’s just you hun

“My fingers fasten around the knife again. ‘You should be the one thanking me.’
And he should be, for allowing him to be anything like you.
The glint of the blade is back near his skin. Could it feel like it does in my dreams, when I push the knife into you, the warm, sticky heat over my hands?”

😕 she’s gone crazy now

“I’ll rest against a tree’s rough trunk. The sun will be setting, its dazzling colors threading through the sky, making my cheeks warm.

Then I will wake up.


Good-bye, Ty,

Gemma”

🥺

“But you watched me, too, all the time. It was as if you were constantly assessing me, gauging what was acceptable, what you could say or do that wouldn’t upset me too much. I soon caught on to it. I started testing how far I could push you. And you let me push.”
