Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Roxanya Vega was right to deny your bond when it was offered,” my mom added. “Because it was the push you needed to find yourself, to become the man I had always known you could be. You set out to prove yourself worthy of her love, but in finding what was needed to do so, you became so much more. I have been proud of you from the first moment I held you in my arms, but I am honoured to have been there to watch you step into your destiny as fully as you did.”

“I will tear the heavens apart for this,” Roxanya Vega snarled, the curse of a true queen lashing across the heavens and scoring them with her conviction. “I will shred your world to pieces and rip your hold on destiny from your fucking fists with blood and fire and vengeance for this,” she screamed at the stars, her power making the ground beneath me tremble, magic unlike any I’d ever felt before burning its way between the realms as she forced the stars to take note. “On my life, I curse you. On his life, I curse you. And for our fate, I’ll end you!”

“You can do this. You were born to wear the crown, and you can bear the weight of it no matter how heavy it becomes,” I swore to her.

“Defy the stars,” I said fiercely, willing her to do so with all I was and all I had.

“When one falls to the dark, the other shall be their guiding light,” Merissa murmured with a frown, those words familiar to me.

“The one where I swore to love and protect your daughter with all that I was for all the time I had in that world and the next. The one that I joined her in when she vowed to change our fate at the cost of the stars if that was what it required. She has sworn to defy destiny in the matter of my death, and I have sworn to do all I can to defy it too. So will you help me, or would you rather allow your distaste for me to leave her grieving and alone for the rest of her life?” I demanded. Hail sighed heavily. “I preferred the blonde one,” he grunted.

“This is…cosy,” Azriel said, turning slowly to take in the blank walls and blanker floor. “Your taste is very…minimal.” “My taste is fire and ruin tempered by the kiss of a woman who has always and will always be out of my league,” I growled, and the room promptly provided an enormous fireplace with a roaring fire, my battle axe hanging on the mantle above it. No Roxy though.

“You’re going to forget I’m a legendary thief. You won’t be in awe of me anymore,” I said with a pout, and he lowered his mouth to mine, lips grazing and pressing, the heat of his powerful body flush to mine. “I was in awe of you long before you pocketed some pretty stones, Felisia Night.”
“You are a raving lunatic,” he said, and I pursed my lips. “And the most incredible creature I have ever encountered.”
But you can rise to greatness in The Waning Lands. In fact, I want you to promise me that you will. And when the day comes that your name is hailed by the stars, I want you to write me. And I’ll come.” “Swear it,” he said gruffly, sliding his hand around the back of my neck and pulling me closer. “On the stars.” His hand caught mine, fingers curling tight. “I swear it,” I vowed, and magic clapped between our palms.
Roxanya Vega wasn’t built to wallow and cower. At the depths of her fire-drenched soul, she was a warrior through and through. And she needed to get her heart back into the fight. Cinderella’s Dead by Emeline started up the moment I hit play and Roxy sucked in a sharp breath, whirling around to look at her Atlas in surprise, letting the words wrap themselves tight around her. Maybe she had forgotten she was a bad bitch like the song suggested, but now it was time for her to remember. Fate might have shifted but fuck that. This woman had chosen her own fate more than once before and I knew she

“When it comes down to it, you’d burn the entire fucking world to ash for a single smile from her lips, wouldn’t you?” “Is there a problem with that?” I asked,
Her words were fierce, defiant, but I knew her well enough to see the pain in them, the utter agony of what this rejection was doing to her. She had come all this way to reclaim the other half of her soul, the one person who might be able to help her find her way back to herself from the pit of grief that had consumed her since my death. She needed her twin more than she needed air to breathe and if Gwen didn’t go with her now, then I knew it was going to break her more thoroughly than she could ever recover from. She wasn’t the savage princess who stood before them, bloodstained and ready for

“I thought I was your perfect dom fantasy, Seth?” I joked. “Have you really moved on already? I feel like you could have picked Dante or someone a bit more rugged though – Cal is too pretty to really pull off the daddy vibes, don’t you think?”
“Go on, son!” I roared to Lance. “Give him hell!” “Son?” Azriel hooked an eyebrow up at me. “He is that to me, Azriel,” I said fiercely and he moved closer, grasping my arm. “And Gwendalina is a daughter to me,” he said, the two of us sharing a brief smile before we turned back to watch the fight.
“You’d better be watching, sir. Because this fight is for the Vegas,” Lance said, making my heart lurch, those words meant for me. He knew I was here, or at least suspected it and I moved to stand at his back, placing my hand on his shoulder to lend him what power I could. “Oh, I’m watching alright, good choice,”
“It’s not coming with us,” Lance muttered, and Gwendalina arched a brow at him. “Firstly, do not boss her around,” I growled. “Secondly, you have a point.”
“This really isn’t the time for marital bickering,” he warned. “It’s not marital if we’re not married,” Gwendalina pointed out. “We will be married,” Lance said in a growl, and Merissa let out a small squeal while Azriel shot her widest grin. “Oh Hail! Think of the wedding. The bridesmaids all in deepest blue, an ice sculpture in the shape of a Phoenix,” Merissa gushed. “They could hire a jazz band,” Azriel said excitedly, and I gave both of them a dry look. “Says who?” Gwendalina balked. “She clearly doesn’t want to be married,” I said. “Says me,” Lance snapped and I rounded on him. “Watch

“You were a dastardly duck upon our meeting, now you’ve shed your feathers, and oh how jolly proud I am to see the great Fae you have become,” Hamish gushed, knocking his knuckles against Darius’s cheek. “Revel in your moment with your beloved quail, then return to us as swiftly as a goose with its tail on fire.”
We love and appreciate all of you dream makers so much, and so in parting I will give you this gift of a hint to the happenings of Zodiac Academy book 9: Beware the words on the page, for darkness follows the readers who dance along their lines of ink. Love you, Susanne and Caroline XOXO
maybe this means that lavinia will get a pov chapter? Or perhaps we'll have some unreliable narration with the fake darcy and tory and only find out later? I have so many crazy theories for this hint i'm going insane
