Laini Taylor
I'm afraid they're in love, he said, concerned. They don't want to leave you. He lifted one hand from her waist to gently brush a pair from her neck, where their wings fanned against her jaw. Melancholy, he said, I know just how they feel.
Laini Taylor
Once upon a time, a little girl was raised by monsters. But angels burned the doorways to their world, and she was all alone.
Laini Taylor
Is that all souls are for? For when we die? No. They're for living, too.
Laini Taylor
Light coursed through Karou and darkness chased it-burning through her, chilling her, shimmer and shadow, ice and fire, blood and starlight, rushing, roaring, filling her.
Laini Taylor
With the infinite patience of one who has learned to live broken, he awaited her return.
Laini Taylor
