“I’d never pretended to be completely sane, mentally well, physically well, or spiritually well. In summary, I was unwell”

“Less than a minute,” Xaden whispers as Sgaeyl moves toward him—toward us. “That’s how long it took for you to fall out of love with me.”

“You want to know something true? Something real? I love you. I’m in love with you. I have been since the night the snow fell in your hair and you kissed me for the first time. I’m grateful my life is tied to yours because it means I won’t have to face a day without you in it. My heart only beats as long as yours does, and when you die I’ll meet Malek at your side It’s a damned good thing that you love me

“There’s nowhere in existence you could go that I wouldn’t find you, remember?”

“Violence, remember it’s only the body that’s fragile. You are unbreakable.”

“But I’m begging you, Violet. Don’t offer me your body unless you’re offering me everything. I want you more than I want to fuck you. I want those three little words back.”

“If Solas comes near you again, he knows I will devour his human whole and let him rot within me while his heart still beats, and then I’ll take the eye I so graciously left him.”

really fucking smiles—and it almost makes me rethink my decision. “I tell you we’re not together because you won’t give me the one thing I need—honesty—and you counter with ‘it’s good for us’?” I scof...

“Fuck, that stubborn, feisty look always makes me want to kiss you.” Xaden’s expression remains bland, bored even, but his eyes heat as his gaze drops to my mouth. “And you say this now, where people will see if you actually do.” My breath catches. “When did I ever give you the impression that I give a fuck what people think about me?.”

“Going for blood today, are we, Violence?” he whispers. Metal hits the mat again and he kicks it past my head and out of my reach. He’s not taking my daggers to use against me; he’s disarming me just to prove he can. My blood boils. “My name is Violet,” I seethe. “I think my version fits you better.” He releases my wrist and stands, offering me a hand. “We’re not done yet.”

“Fascinating. You look all frail and breakable, but you’re really a violent little thing, aren’t you?”

He’s tall, with windblown black hair and dark brows. The line of his jaw is strong and covered by warm tawny skin and dark stubble, and when he folds his arms across his torso, the muscles in his chest and arms ripple, moving in a way that makes me swallow. And his eyes…

“The longer you wait on those steps”—she motions toward the tower—“the greater your fear has a chance to grow. Cross the parapet before the terror owns you.”

If this is modern-day dating, maybe I should be the one laying traps and readying the duct tape.”

“Your enemy is but a puppet whose master lurks in darkness. I will do what I can to guide you, but the path is bathed in shadow and mystery. All I can see clearly is that your presence is integral to winning this battle. In this, you are the key, Corumbra.”

“The difference is, I wasn’t fucking an apparent sociopath with high levels of warfare training that I cast off in order to chase the woman my heart wanted.”

“The most beautiful light that exists, for it brightens even the darkest moments. It brings hope to the hopeless. You are…starshine. Of that I am certain.”

“The first of five keys, to bend the land, to break the trees and steal the sand. Then shall the path lay bare before, once more to walk between the doors. Of death and life, of sun and rain. Should one of five fall, then shall the world’s heart be in vain.”

“Sometimes, it is the one piece everyone would claim as . . .useless . . .that can become the most important piece of all.”
