ONYX STORM (#3 THE EMPYREAN)
REBECCA YARROS
“Your
wings won’t hold the weight of this ice. And yet yours miraculously carry the
burden of your ego”.
“Telling
me you’re capable of horrible things while still loving me is pretty much your
idea of foreplay”.
“Sometimes
I worry about Violete. She has your sharp wit, quick mind, and steadfast heart
paired with my bullheaded tenacity. When she finally and truly gives that heart,
I fear it will overrule the other gifts you’ve given her and logic will cede
its voice to love. And if her first two liaisons are any indication of what we
might expect… Gods help her, my love, I’m afraid our daughter has atrocious
taste in men”.
“-Xaden’s
going to be pissed. -Which is why you’re going to be the one to tell him when
we pull it off. He won’t kill you”.
“-Any chance you have an affinity for public speaking? It certainly runs in your family. -Was it the shunning of by birthright in favor of a high probability of death that gave me away?”
