“There was only the cemetery itself, spread out in the moonlight like a soft grey hallucination, a stony wilderness of Victorian melancholy.”

“Stop longing to be less, Haven, and accept that you are more. Stop apologizing for the fire inside you. Instead, burn and burn like the sun until you set the world ablaze.” ― Audrey Grey, Curse Breaker
“I will burn this world to ash for you, Summer. The things I would do for her scare me. One word and I would destroy anyone who’s ever hurt her. One look and I would give up everything—my crown, my magic, my life. One smile and the armored walls I’ve built around my heart crumble to dust.” ― Audrey Grey, Summer
“They were in this together. They would rise together and fall together and, if the fates desired it, die together.” ― Audrey Grey, Curse Breaker
“You are the light in the darkness', he whispers. 'My salvation, my everything. No matter what happens, no matter how far apart we are or how dark it gets, I will always follow your light back to you.” ― Audrey Grey, Summer
“The things that pleased us withered into dust. And the things that haunt us sprouted from their remains. Until the rotting harvest, watered in the blood of our children, grew so tall it hid the sun— And we forgot we ever loved the light.” ― Audrey Grey, Shadow Fall
“And the giants fall one by one, to fill the cup of Rot and Ruin. A city laid waste by the feats of man, never to rise again.” ― Audrey Grey, Shadow Fall
“Haven stumbled from the couch. The pain brought her to her knees. “Is it done?” “What?” Nasira cocked her head. “Oh, yes. Your dark magick is now bound. Congratulations. You’re now half as strong as you used to be.” ― Audrey Grey, King Maker
“Hello, Beastie, a voice teased inside her head. Did you miss me?” ― Audrey Grey, Oath Taker
“Haven grinned at the idea. “Do they walk around nude in Effendier?” A long pause ensued. “When we go without clothes, there is usually not much walking, no.” ― Audrey Grey, Curse Breaker
“Stolas even commented on their harmless flirtation in her dreams last night, and Haven had laughed off the idea along with the unhappy downturn of Stolas’s lips as he said it.” ― Audrey Grey, Curse Breaker
“If your plan is to throw me off a cliff, there's a problem.""What's that?""I can fly.” ― Audrey Grey, Winter
“Shields up, daggers out, head high.” ― Audrey Grey, Shadow Ruin
“A malignancy? It’s a part of her. You cannot cut it out. Cannot send it away just because it makes you uncomfortable. But the idea that you made her think it was necessary, that you ever made her feel an ounce of shame for who she is—if she didn’t care about you so deeply, I would shred you from existence.” ― Audrey Grey, King Maker
“For the thousandth time, Haven responded inside her mind, rubbing her temples. She’s not a witch. Ignoring Haven, Ravius spread his wings wide and puffed out his chest, making himself as large as possible as he faced down Demelza. I am Lochran O’Beirne. Greatest Asgardian warrior of old. How dare you challenge me, witch. Bow before me or face” ― Audrey Grey, King Maker
“I think that solidifies our deal, no, pretty Sun Lord?” ― Audrey Grey, Oath Taker
“It’s okay, Kid. I’m here. You’re not alone. I’ll never let you hurt alone.” ― Audrey Grey, Summer
“A girl could never have enough knives.” ― Audrey Grey, Oath Taker
“She must have somehow thrown them off her trail,” Rook whispered. “Clever girl.” ― Audrey Grey, Curse Breaker
