The Rose Society Quotes

“I made mistakes. I trusted both too little and too much. But, by the gods, I tried so hard. I gave everything I had. I have always done the best I could, and yet, somehow, it has never been enough. No one cared what I did. They always turned their backs on me.”

“None of it was your fault, the whispers in my head argue. You didn't kill him, after all -- it was not your blade that ended his life. So why are you the one cast out? You didn't have to return to the Daggers -- you didn't need to help them rescue Raffaele. And still they turned on you. Why does everyone forget your good intentions, Adelina?”
