“I got used to seeing him waiting for me at the end of corridors, or sitting at the edge of my bed when I fell asleep at night. When he didn’t appear, I sometimes found myself looking for him or wondering why he hadn’t come, and that frightened me most of all.”

“We are alike,” he said, “as no one else is, as no one else will ever be.”
The truth of it rang through me. Like calls to like.”

THE GRISHA TRILOGY GENDER SWAP

“I have waited hundreds of years for this moment, for your power, for this chance. I have earned it with loss and with struggle. I will have it. Whatever it cost.”
I wanted to claw at her, to tell her I’d see her torn apart by her own monsters. I wanted to tell her I would bring all the power of Morozova’s amplifers down on her, an army of light, born of merzost, perfect in its vengeance. I might be able to do it, too. If Mal gave up his life.

“No,” she said gently as she folded me in her arms. She pressed a kiss to the top of my hair. “I will strip away all that you know, all that you love, until you have no shelter but me.”
In grief, in horror, I let myself break apart.
