“I wanted to stay there. I wanted to tell him that I had not easily embraced anyone since Soraya bid me farewell the morning of the Blood Summit. That with him, every aversion was a craving. That even though one day I would kneel before Jasad’s judges in the afterlife to account for it, I would not renounce a single moment of loving the Nizahl Heir.”

“You don’t have to do this. Run. Take a horse and get as far away as you can.” (..)
“(…) such an unreasonable course of action. Are you mocking me?”
“What appeal can reason have in the face of your tears?”

“A hunger that demanded I take, forge a claim to him in flesh and blood and power. Etch my name into his bones for the world to see.”

“What if the worst parts of me had already cannibalized the best?”
