1 " The idea of marrying Lukan made her skin crawl. He was a Chenayan. She, a Norin. He was her conqueror. She, his conquered. He had been born and raised to lord over her. She had been born and raised to hate him. They might as well have been different species. "

2 " Never before had he seen a woman so angry—or so seductive. It rendered him speechless. He couldn’t fight the compulsion to kiss her.She punched him on the chin, snapping his head back. "

8 " It’s impossible to own a Norin, no matter how many cages you wrap around them. We will always follow our own star. The best you can do is to hope you’ve pinned your heart to the same constellation. "
9 " Movement on the plain caught her attention. She brushed his arm, clad in a worn leather tunic similar to hers, and nodded toward an ostrich striding in their direction. “It’s the male,” she whispered. “Just as we planned.” They had chosen dusk for this egg raid because that was when the males took over nest duty from the hens. "
10 " Despite being only fifteen, if Clay returned home today with an egg, he would pass into adulthood. With that, he’d earn the right to braid ostrich feathers and beads made from the eggshell in his hair. Best of all, he’d join Lynx in the raiders. "
11 " Must you always open your mouth just to change feet? "
