1 " A sword forged true in hammer and flameFlies sure and swiftA heart forged in battle and strifeCuts deeper than any blade "
― Claire Legrand , Furyborn (Empirium, #1)
2 " You touch me and I burn "
3 " We all have darkness inside us, Rielle,” he said, his voice rough. “That is what it means to be human. "
4 " I fear no darknessI fear no night I ask the shadowsTo aid my fight "
5 " Some say the Queen was frightened in her last moments. But I like to think that she was angry. "
6 " She was night itself reborn on earth, a queen swathed in shadows. "
7 " People like us don’t fight for our own hope,” he said quietly. “We fight for everyone else’s. "
8 " Dread,” he murmured, his breath caressing her cheek, “is only a feeling, easily squashed. But wolves, my dear, have teeth. "
9 " From sky to sky From sea to seaSteady so I standAnd never will I flee. "
10 " Perhaps if nothing else, what’s happened has taught you that there is more to life - and even to war - than simply staying alive. "

12 " Do you even remember how many people you've killed, Eliana?"…"Eighty-seven," she whispered as the gunshots continued. "Eighty-eight. Eighty-nine. "

And a cinnamon cake, perhaps?” Rielle leaned heavily into Evyline’s broad body. “Perhaps three cakes would do the trick.” “Three cakes are, generally speaking, much more effective than one, my lady.” Rielle’s smile was faint and brought prickling tears to her eyes. “Bless you, Evyline. I’ve taught you well. "
16 " As I understand it,” Ludivine replied wryly, “kissing involves not just one person, but two. If there is blame to be placed, it isn’t only for you to bear. "
17 " Revolutions mean nothing if their soldiers forget to care for the people they’re fighting to save, "
18 " She curtsied before the king, the shadow of Saint Katell falling like a sword across her neck. "
19 " If there is a wickedness inside of you, Rielle," Audric said hoarsely, his lips in her hair, "then I shall treasure it as I do every other part of you. "
20 " We are all of us dark creatures, but if we linger in those shadows, we’ll be lost. Instead we must seek the light when we can. "
