Glass Ellen Hopkins Quotes

Behind the walls of St. Valen’s Academy, privilege and legacy are masks — worn to hide the rot underneath. For Althea Sombra, the masks are literal. Her family’s empire is built on secrets whispered in the dark, on powers that can never be spoken of in daylight. She was raised to obey, to charm, to control. But when the storm inside her begins to wake, even obedience can’t contain it. Noah Laurent was bred for composure — heir to a dynasty that trades in precision and power. Yet one glance from Althea cracks the ice he was born to wear. He knows she’s dangerous. He also knows he can’t stay away. Luca Ashford has always been the wildfire Noah could control. Until Althea arrives. Until jealousy and desire blur into something neither of them can name — and their friendship begins to splinter beneath the weight of her silence. When a ghost from Althea’s training resurfaces — a man who once called her his greatest weapon — the careful balance at St. Valen’s shatters. Fear tightens its grip. Loyalties fracture. And the girl with the storm in her blood must decide: to remain a shadow … or burn the world that built her.

Hindi makatarungan ang pagaaruga ng kanilang mga magulang sa kanilang magkapatid. Mas pinapaburan ng mga ito ang kanyang kakambal. Nang dahil lamang sa isang kasunduan, itinakda ang kanyang kapatid sa isang lalaki. Sa araw ng kasal ay nakiusap si Bella sa kanya na siya ang humalili rito upang itali sa lalaking kailanman ay hindi niya pa nakikita ang mukha. Nabuhay siyang malungkot at nag-iisa sa loob ng mga taong siya ay may asawa na. Taliwas ito sa kanyang nakasanayang pamumuhay bilang isang suwail na anak. Nakukuha lamang nitong suportahan siya sa kaniyang mga pinansyal na pangangailangan. Dahil rito parang nabuhay ulit ang dating siya. Hindi siya makakapayag na maging sunod-sunuran sa lalaking kailanman ay hindi niya pa nakikilala. Parang nakikisama sa kanya ang pagkakataon at nakadaupang-palad niya ang kanyang kababata na binigyan niya noon ng kanyang babasaging tsinelas at sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon ay hindi niya mapigilan ang tawag ng laman ng kanyang pumipintig na pagkababae. Handa na ba makipagsapalaran si Hyacinth Herrera sa init na kaniyang pinasok? Mananaig kaya ang sensasyong hatid ng kababatang si Thaddeus Siriad Vanesteri o ng asawang si Dairis Vaughn Conor?
