Quotes
She was the heir of ash and fire, and she would bow to no one.”

“Their hands clasped between them, he whispered into her ear, "I claim you, too, Aelin Galathynius.”

Because what she represents, and what your son represents, is what you fear most: hope. You cannot steal it, no matter how many you rip from their homes and enslave. And you cannot break it, no matter how many you murder.”
