“I thought that, too,” I said. “But...” My voice trailed off. Because I hadn’t really thought about it this way before—that I actually felt like I had a home now, beside Oraya. I didn’t have to run from anything anymore.

For all the times I'd reassured Oraya about her safety, I'd never felt safe myself. Not until, I realized, now.”

“Asar would never be loyaly to Atroxus. I knew this in my bones — not because of Nyaxia, but because of the scars on my skin and the fresh burns on my face.”

“I didn't even see him move.

One minute, darkness enveloped him. The next, Elias went flying against the wall.

'Do. Not. Touch. Her.”

“I told you that strength is measured by the sacrifices we refused to make,” she said softly. “You were mine."

I squeezed her hand back, my response silent but unmistakable: And you were mine.”

“He clung to me as they tried to drag him back. But he refused to let me go, even as those chains wrapped themselves around his throat, his wrists. Even as the gods themselves tried to tear him away.

I realized, as my fading vision took in his tear-streaked face, that Asar would never let me go. Not in life, and not in death. He would shatter it all for me.”
― Carissa Broadbent, The Songbird & the Heart of Stone
