The third rule is to ensure the continuation of your species by engaging in procreative activities. "

She didn't mean anything. I was lonely. It wasn't love." A prostitute, he meant. "

Wolves and stags and bears. Mad princes who drowned in lakes. None of Mada Vittora’s books described an ancient academy deep in the woods, a place where it always snowed, where girls wanted magic badly enough to die for it. "
18 " The last thing the justice system is, is just. "
