"Pleased to officially make your acquaintance, Poisoner."

"I never thought i'd see the day where I was ashamed of this place, but today? I will remember it for the rest of my life. And so will they."

"As if in answer to his thoughts, a sharp pang speared through the lines of his scar, and a crackle of lightning shot across hi heart. Torj could feel her, somewhere out there."

"It's about the person who's holding your hand at the end. The person you can't let go of, no matter how hard you might have tried."

"You didn't want me. It's alright. I don't blame you.. Nobody wants a broken thing."

"I can't believe you made us stay out so late. Gods, we're going to feel like death tomorrow. And what did I tell you about poisoning people tonight?"

"You're mine, he wanted to say. He wanted to claim her in every way imaginable. He wanted to follow the instinct roaring within him. But he couldn't. She could never be his. Not truly. And at that realization, he broke away."

"Torj Elderbrock, the Warsword now known across the lands as the silver-haired Bear Slayer, a sabior of the midrealms, had haunted both her dreams and waking hours for half a decade. They hadn't shared so much as a kiss, but he was the storm beneath her skin that wouldn't abate."
