"Lady Tremaine did not exist. Or rather, she was not a real person. But, though it was not the world's name for me, it was my truest one: An accurate depiction of what I gave and took from each of my marriages. Tremaine was the name from my first, the marriage of my heart. My title came from my second."

"My dear, if Arin of Nizahl loves you, you can be sure that the Alcalah is the least of your worries. Arin is not the kind of man who puts his heart before his head...
