“He’d never known a feeling. Once, he’d longed for it with his entire being, but now…now he wasn’t sure if he ever wanted it.”

“A fool's love. A boy's love. Five centuries of waiting in the shadows, yearning. Five centuries of his own inability to see what was in front of him. He'd never again let himself be that stupid.”

“Truth-Teller hung heavy as a lodestone at his side-one of those secret Made weapons, though he'd only recently learned this about the blade that he'd wielded for centuries.”

“It was true, I supposed. The distant ancestors that she and Rhys shared had been the first of the line after the fall of the Daglan. The Asteri, as they were called elsewhere.”

“You are an Illyrian, Arriel-the wind sings through your very blood.
You cannor be caged. You cannot be broken. They lock you away because they fear you.”

“Are you saying I can come home?”
“I’m saying,” he murmurs softly, “it’s not home unless you’re there.”

“This is how I used to think of love. As something so delicate it couldn’t be caught without being snuffed out. Now I know better. I know the flame may gutter and flare with the wind, but it will always be there.”

“Everything is changing. It has to. You can’t stop time.
All you can do is point yourself in a direction and hope the wind will let you get there.”

“Love means constantly saying you’re sorry, and then doing better.”

“And then I met you, and I didn’t feel so lost or aimless. Because even if there was nothing else for me, it felt like loving you was what I was made for…”

“Things change, but we stretch and grow and make room for one another.
Our love is a place we can always come back to, and it will be waiting, the same as it ever was.
You belong here.”

“My best friends taught me a new kind of quiet, the peaceful stillness of knowing one another so well you don’t need to fill the space. And a new kind of loud: noise as a celebration, as the overflow of joy at being alive, here, now.”

“The path here was rough. It was filled with pain and grief and sacrifices. Heartache and sorrow and utter exhaustion. But there is no one I would rather have gone through this life-changing journey with than these six people. I have felt alone and unwanted for most of my life. But now, here, I finally feel at home.”

My parents did love me.

“I have no children, and I will bear none,” Lavendera continues. “But the royal line must survive. Therefore, I hereby name Isera Shaw, now Isera Dawnwalker, as my heir.”

“Because she’s right.
Turning slightly, I gaze out at all of my friends. I lost my family to the Icehearts. Isera did as well. Alistair lost his family in a different way when they shunned him for having fire magic. Orion has never had anyone he can trust. None of us has a real family.
So we made our own.”

I smile, tears slipping down my cheeks and blood trickling from my mouth. “At least now… you’re free.”
“Freedom means nothing without you,” he whispers in a broken voice.

And so dies Empress Jessina Iceheart.
In pain and despair.
And with my blade, stained by fish guts, buried in her heart.
I scream in victory.

I yank up my hand.
And slam my dagger right into Jessina’s heart.
We crash into the ground.

“I’m sorry,” I reply.
Then I close the union bond and leap off his body.
