" My fists clenched in my lap, the veins straining against the skin. To have my love toyed with so callously, as a blossom plucked and left to wilt on the ground. I deserved more than this. I would salvage what pride remained, for I had lost too much already. "

― Sue Lynn Tan , Daughter of the Moon Goddess (The Celestial Kingdom Duology, #1)
