41 " You and I are nothing but wild beasts wearing human skins. "
― Sarah J. Maas , Queen of Shadows (Throne of Glass, #4)
42 " She was fury, she was wrath, she was vengeance. "
43 " Let’s go rattle the stars. "
44 " The wrath Chaol found in Aelin’s eyes was world-ending. “You bring my court into this, Chaol,” Aelin said with lethal softness, “and I don’t care what you were to me, or what you have done to help me. You betray them, you hurt them, and I don’t care how long it takes, or how far you go: I’ll burn you and your gods-damned kingdom to ash. Then you’ll learn just how much of a monster I can be. "
45 " It’s Aelin now,” she snapped as loudly as she dared. “Celaena Sardothien doesn’t exist anymore. "
46 " It would all be fine, even if it went to hell, so long as he was here with her. "
47 " And at long last, Aelin Ashryver Galathynius was home. "
48 " Thank you for the oil," he added. "My skin was a little dry. "
49 " Rowan stood with his queen in the rain, breathing in her scent, and let her steal his warmth for as long as she needed. "
50 " I spent centuries wandering the world, from empires to kingdoms to wastelands, never settling, never stopping—not for one moment. I was always looking toward the horizon, always wondering what waited across the next ocean, over the next mountain. But I think … I think that whole time, all those centuries, I was just looking for you. "
51 " I don’t make threats. Only promises. "
52 " She moved like a midnight storm. Whatever training she’d had in Wendlyn, whatever that prince had taught her … Gods help them all. "
53 " What a shame that the current owner of the Vaults, a former underling of Rourke Farran and a dealer of flesh and opiates, had accidentally run into her knives. Repeatedly. "
54 " You deserve to be happy,” he said. And meant it. She deserved the joy he so often glimpsed on her face when Rowan was near—deserved the wicked laughter she shared with Aedion, the comfort and teasing with Lysandra. She deserved happiness, perhaps more than anyone. "
55 " Dorian, we get to come back from this loss - from this darkness. We get to come back, and I came back for you. "
56 " She wondered whether the queen knew. Rowan did. Aedion did. And Arobynn did. He had understood that with Rowan, she was no longer afraid of him; with Rowan, Arobynn was now utterly unnecessary. Irrelevant. "
57 " She was the heir of fire. She was fire, and light, and ash, and embers. She was Aelin Fireheart, and she bowed for no one and nothing, save the crown that was hers by blood and survival and triumph. "
58 " My name is Aelin Ashryver Galathynius. And I am the Queen of Terrasen. "
59 " I was not supposed to love you. The woman had said that—and then she died. She should not have loved him, and he should not have dared to love her. He deserved this darkness, and once the invisible boundary shattered and the waiting thing pounced, infiltrating and filling him … he’d have earned it. "
60 " Aelin Galathynius looked at Manon Blackbeak over their crossed swords and let out a low, vicious snarl. "
