When you truly spent most of your time alone? When you had to? And not because you wanted to? There was no joy to be found.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Fall of Ruin and Wrath

― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Fall of Ruin and Wrath

'One of us has to be.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Fall of Ruin and Wrath

“Oh my gods,' I hissed. 'You are...'

'What?' The colours of his eyes were churning again. ''Captivating to you? I know. There's no need to tell me.'

'Wasn't planning to.'

'Whatever you say, na'laa,' he murmured.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Fall of Ruin and Wrath

“I... I, uh, have a headache.'

'Ah, I see.' Straight white teeth appeared as the Lord smiled more broadly. 'I'm guessing that headache is a rather large one? Perhaps if you had to describe it, you'd say that it came in a six-foot-and-seven-inch frame?”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Fall of Ruin and Wrath
