“Is she were Scarlett, someone would have come to her rescue by now. Julian would have probably flown in on a hot-air balloon, and then sprouted wings to soar down and carry her away. Unfortunately Tella wasn't the sort of girl people saved – she was the one they left behind. But she was also the sort they underestimated. She reminded herself she was the daughter of two dangerous criminals. She'd once bet her life on her sister's love. She'd kissed the Prince of Hearts and still lived. These Fates would not kill her tonight.” — Stephanie Garber
Is she were Scarlett, someone would have come to her rescue by now. Julian would have probably flown in on a hot-air balloon, and then sprouted wings to soar down and carry her away. Unfortunately Tella wasn't the sort of girl people saved – she was the one they left behind.
But she was also the sort they underestimated.
She reminded herself she was the daughter of two dangerous criminals.
She'd once bet her life on her sister's love.
She'd kissed the Prince of Hearts and still lived.
These Fates would not kill her tonight.
