  1. Sarah J. Maas _ Heir of Fire

    , Petrah had said. Had smiled as she said it.Manon told herself it was for an alliance. Told herself it was for show.But all she could see was the unconditional love in that dying wyvern's eyes as she unbuckled her harness, stood from the saddle, and leapt off Abraxos."

  2. Sarah J. Maas

    Does your blood run blue or red? You decide. If it runs blue, it turns out I have jurisdiction over you. Little shits like Vernon can't do as they will to my kind–not without my permission. If your blood runs red … Well, I don't particularly care about humans, and seeing what Vernon does with you might be entertaining.

  3. Sarah J. Maas _ Queen of Shadows

    They alighted on a little plateau covered in purple and orange wildflowers, its grasses hissing in the wind. Abraxos was practically grunting with joy, and Manon, her exhaustion as heavy as the red cloak she wore, didn't bother to reprimand him.

  4. Sarah J. Maas _ Heir of Fire

    Keelie was still breathing, Manon realized as they neared, the wind tearing at her face and clothes. Keelie was still breathing, and fighting like hell to keep steady. Not to survive. Keelie knew she would be dead any moment. She was fighting for the witch on her back.

  5. Sarah J. Maas _ Queen of Shadows

    Then, holding Manon's gaze, Aelin sheathed her mighty blade across her back, the giant ruby in the pommel catching in the midday light. "Swords are boring," the queen said, and palmed two fighting knives.Manon sheathed Wind-Cleaver along her own back. She flicked her wrists, the iron nails shooting out. She cracked her jaw, and her fangs descended, "Indeed".The queen looked at the nails, the teeth, and grinned.Honestly---it was a shame Manon had to kill her.

  6. Sarah J. Maas _ Queen of Shadows

    The straw-coated floor crunched beneath her boots, a cool breeze sweeping in from where the roof had been ripped half off thanks to Sorrel's bull. To keep the wyverns from feeling less caged-and so Abraxos could watch the stars, as he liked to do.

  7. Sarah J. Maas _ Heir of Fire

    There was a second scream then, from the mountains. From the Blueblood Matron, screaming for her daughter as she plummeted down to the rocks below. The other Bluebloods whirled, but they were too far away, their wyverns too slow to stop that fatal plunge.But Abraxos was not.And Manon didn't know if she gave the command or thought it, but that scream, that mother's scream she'd never heard before, made her lean in. Abraxos dove, a shooting star with his glistening wings.They dove and dove, for the broken wyvern and the still-living witch upon it.

  8. Sarah J. Maas _ Queen of Shadows

    The winds shifted, and Abraxos rode them, rising higher into the sky, the darkened kingdom below passing by in a blur.Changing winds-a changing world.Perhaps a changing Thirteen, too. And herself.She didn't know what to make of it,But Manon hoped they'd all survive it.She hoped.

  9. Sarah J. Maas _ Empire of Storms

    Perhaps the Darkness was another world, another realm. Perhaps she'd gone to the hell-realm the humans so feared.She hated Death.And Death could go to hell, too-

  10. Sarah J. Maas _ Empire of Storms

    Your fussy nursemaid of a wyvern is fine, by the way. I don't know how you wound up with a sweet thing like that for a mount, but he's content to sprawl in the sun on the foredeck. Can't say it makes the sailors particularly happy - especially cleaning up after him."Find somewhere safe, she'd told Abraxos. Had he somehow found the queen? Somehow known this was the only place she might stand a chance of surviving?

  11. Sarah J. Maas _ Heir of Fire

    .Manon rubbed at her eyes and braced her elbows on her knees, peering into the drop below.She would have dismissed her, wouldn't have thought twice about it, if it hadn't been for that look in Keelie's eyes as she fell, fighting with every last scrap of strength to save her Petrah. Or for Abraxos's wing, sheltering Manon against icy rain.The wyverns were meant to kill and maim and strike terror into the hearts of their enemies. And yet . . .And yet. Manon looked toward the star-flecked horizon, leaning her face into a warm spring breeze, grateful for the steady, solid companion lounging behind her. A strange feeling, that gratitude for his existence.

  12. Sarah J. Maas _ Heir of Fire

    She had not understood what it had been like for him to live his entire life underground, chained and beaten and crippled-until then. Until she heard that noise of undiluted, unyielding joy.Until she echoed it, tipping her head back to the clouds around them.They sailed over a sea of clouds, and Abraxos dipped his claws in them before tilting to race up a wind-carved column of cloud. Higher and higher, until they reached its peak and he flung out his wings in the freezing, thin sky, stopping the world entirely for a heartbeat.And Manon, because no one was watching, because she did not care, flung out her arms as well and savored the freefall, the wind now a song in her ears, in her shriveled heart.
