" The voice is deep and soft, not a sound so much as a feeling. It is storm and wind and leaves twisting in the night. It is roots sucking deep at the earth, and the pale, sightless creatures that live below the ground. But there’s something wrong with this voice, something diseased at its core. "

― Sabaa Tahir , An Ember in the Ashes (An Ember in the Ashes, #1)
