MALINA ROMANCE WEEK 2022 — DAY 3: TYPES / ACTS OF LOVE
PRAGMA: E N D U R I N G L O V E (INSP)
“Did the Darkling love my aunt who died beside countless innocent civilians in Novokribirsk so that he could show the world his might?”
“Did he love the girl he forced to commit those murders? What about the girl he tossed into the old king’s bed for his own purposes, then mutilated when she dared challenge him? Or the woman he blinded for failing to offer him unswerving devotion?”
- Zoya, Rule of Wolves
RUIN & RISING | Chapter 8 | Leigh Bardugo
They wanted a grisha queen. Mal wanted a commoner queen. And what did I want? Peace for Ravka. A chance to sleep easy in my bed without fear. An end to the guilt and dread that I woke to every morning.
