2 " He says true love requires sacrifices and unbreakable bonds. "

4 " He squared his shoulders and tucked his chin. This was where he could help Briar.

He would stand between her and whatever darkness wished to do her harm. "

Do you really think you are fulfilling your vows by staying behind walls, while children, men, and women are murdered by the kind of evil you were meant to fight? "
12 " Something in him snapped, shattering like a flooded river dam. He had to wake her. "
13 " Beppe is going to die when I tell him I’m going to have the first female magic knight—and the Legendary Knight of the Crossbow! "
