Quotes:

I’m about to walk away when Laia looks up at me. 
Her eyes are a dark jolt. I should look away. I should leave. She’ll figure out who I am if she stares long enough. Cut I can’t bring myself to move. For a heavy, heated moment, we are immobile, content to watch each other. Skies, she’s beautiful. I smile at her, and the blush is hat rises in her face makes me feel oddly triumphant. 
I want to ask her to dance. I want to touch her skin and talk tn her and pretend that I’m just a normal Tribal but and she’s just a normal Scholar girl.
-Elias (Ch. 29)

“When the fear takes over, use the only thing more powerful, more indestructible, to fight it: your spirit. Your heart.”
-Teluman (Ch. 47)
