Bonded By Thorns Novels & Stories

“I’ve seen it in scraps. Old wars. Stolen priestesses. They come back speaking a name that isn’t theirs. Or not at all.” A laugh crawled up my throat, wrong-sized and wrong-shaped. “Riley forgets nothing. She weaponizes it.” Malen’s gaze found the mark at my collarbone. It pulsed—silver threaded in gold, stubborn as breath. “The bond will fight it,” he said. “So will she.” “So will I.” “Of course.” He bowed. “I’ll keep reading until the letters bleed.” “Good,” I said. “If they don’t bleed, make them.”

Then, I pulled the conversation back where it belonged. "Now, sever the bonds." Gloria stepped up beside me. "That's right. Do it now." Lesley still tried to stall. "This is suspicious.
