“There's no other life for me. Anyway, clemency wouldn't begin to repay your debt. I've given you a greater gift than you know." "What gift?" "You'll find out. In return, I expect you to keep it safe." Kelsea turned back to the mirror. "Great God, tell me you didn't impregnate me while I slept." The fetch threw back his head and roared with laughter. He placed a friendly hand on Kelsea's back, making her skin prickle. "Tear Queen, you'll either be dead within a week or you'll be the most fearsome ruler this kingdom has ever known. I see no middle ground.” HumorThe Queen Of The TearlingKelsea GlynnThe Fetch Book:The Queen of the Tearling Source: The Queen of the Tearling
“The Fetch was intelligent, diabolically so, and intelligent people devised intelligent cruelties. That was where the Red Queen had always excelled.” Red QueenThe Queen Of The TearlingThe Fetch Book:The Queen of the Tearling Source: The Queen of the Tearling
“Not just a thief, but a murderer as well. Beneath the handsome man, Kelsea sensed another man, a terrible one, with a life as black as the water in an ice-covered lake. A murderer many, many times. The idea should have brought horror. Kelsea waited for a long moment, bu what came instead was an even worse realization: it didn't matter at all.” The Queen Of The TearlingKelsea GlynnThe Fetch Book:The Queen of the Tearling Source: The Queen of the Tearling
“Good stitchery," Kelsea told him. "But it will scar anyway, won't it?" The Fetch nodded. "I'm not God, nor am I the queen's surgeon." He gave her a mocking bow. "But it won't fester, and you can tell people that you took the wound in battle." "Battle?" "It was a battle getting all that armor off you, and I'll tell the world so." Kelsea smiled, put down the mirror, and turned to him.” HumorThe Queen Of The TearlingKelsea GlynnThe Fetch Book:The Queen of the Tearling Source: The Queen of the Tearling
