I am going to keep on defying you. I am going to shame you with my defiance. You remind me that I am a mere mortal and you are a prince of Faerie. Well, let me remind you that means you have much to lose and I have nothing. You may win in the end, you may ensorcell me and hurt me and humiliate me, but I will make sure you lose everything I can take from you on the way down. I promise you this is the least of what I can do. – Jude Duarte, The Cruel Prince, @hollyblack

I change the angle of the knife, turning it so it’s against his neck. He doesn’t look nearly as alarmed as by that as I might expect.

Not nearly as alarmed as when I bring my mouth to his.

I don’t think anything will ever surpass the raw sexual magnetism of jude duarte making out with cardan while she casually holds an actual knife to his throat

“The odd thing about ambition is this: You can acquire it like a fever, but it is not so easy to shed.”

Lord Roiben sinks to one knee, as he promised. “My k i n g,” he says. I wonder what that promise will cost. I wonder what he will ask us for, now that he has helped give Cardan a crown.

How has the night been going for you? Mine has been full of dull conversation about how my head is going to find itself on a spike.
