    Summary

    “You might make me your wife, but I cannot love you,” Alina tells him, tone as burning as the Fjerdan frost, the words torn straight from the smoking ashes the loss of her childhood love left behind in her heart. And yet, despite all of her biting contempt, the statement still makes something twinge in her chest. Distant remains from a naïve, young mapmaker entranced with the attractive older man pulling her in like a spider into his web of lies. “I won’t. Ever.”

    “Oh, Alina,” he says, a soft chuckle vibrating from his chest, his wretched, beautiful face looking at her with such belittlement that it makes her blood boil even hotter. “Little pet. Who said anything about love?”

    Summary

    ''I thought we wanted the same thing,'' he sounds so sincere that she wants to scream.

    ''There was a time when I thought so too.''

    Summary

    Years after the battle with The Darkling, Alina Starkov lives a new life in an old place—unlike before. And while she graciously accepts this mundanity, she struggles to keep memories of the past at bay. It does not help when a familiar face reappears, invading her thoughts, haunting her nights, making her question her life. It is even worse when she does not wish him to stop.

    His tongue tasted her skin and his teeth nipped at her neck.

    “There you are,” his voice dipped like honey into her ears.

    At once, she burned, as if caught in a torrent of flames. His hands maneuvered her around in the dark, curving over her hips and dipping beneath her night dress. Yes, yes, yes, she chanted in her head as he lifted the fabric and his fingers found her core.

    Her back bowed against him and she felt him everywhere; breath, body and bone. At the sound of his desperation, she turned with a shudder, groaning into his mouth. Her hands clawed at him, unhinged, fervent, desperate, and desiring so much- they curled into that black kefta, pulling him closer.

    “Alina, my Alina,” he said, stoking her fire.

    She kissed him— drank him in like immortal elixir.

    “Take me.”

    Summary

    “You can’t run forever” his voice reaches her again. Louder. Ringing clearly through the trees.

    It is an antithesis of what she used to tell Mal when they were children, yet the words ring true.
    Mal, Mal. Mal her shadows chant, becoming more solid around her.

    She stops walking and he appears before her. Wearing the same dark kefta, faded scars across his face.
    A hallucination.

    “No” she whispers into the night. She does not know if it is a defiance or a surrender. “I can”

    She turns and the shadows condense. Her hallucination draws closer, but she is gone when Aleksander banishes the darkness away. His power carries a name he knows all too well.

    Mal. They whisper on. Mal, Mal, Mal.

    Aleksander Morozova fades into darkness.

    Summary

    the wind screams and batters against the tent, and the lamp is running low, and he is running out of ink. running out of time. there is a stag, and a girl reaching up to pet it, and a gun in his hand. his finger is frozen on the trigger. something —someone— is approaching, and he is running out of time. there is a knife in his chest, his lover’s tears seeping through his shirt. a war rages in the background like the last haze of a dream. he is running out of time.

    or: it is snowing, and mal can’t seem to escape the blizzard.
