“And Dani..." Ryker looked down at me and his eyes softened. "You're shaking."
I was shaking. I hadn't used a spell in a fight before; actually, I hadn't used a spell successfully, ever. Solisarius, a burst of blinding sunlight. It was one of the things I'd studied when I'd found my old book in the hopes that it would hurt the vampires. But conjured light is no substitute for the real thing.
"I did magic." The tremor in my voice betrayed me.
"You did." Ryker leaned down to me closer to eye level as he wrapped an arm around me.
I looked down at my hands, which still trembled from the magic. Was this what Mom felt? Did she like it? Was the rush of using her powers enough to keep her coming back for more?”

“And Death fell with me, like a deepening moan.
And He, picking a manner of worm, which half had hid
Its bruises in the earth, but crawled no further,

“And death shall have no dominion.
Dead men naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
They shall have stars at elbow and foot;
Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.
And death shall have no dominion.
Under the windings of the sea
They lying long shall not die windily;
Twisting on racks when sinews give way,
Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break;
Faith in their hands shall snap in two,
And the unicorn evils run them through;
Split all ends up they shan't crack;
And death shall have no dominion.
And death shall have no dominion.
No more may gulls cry at their ears
Or waves break loud on the seashores;
Where blew a flower may a flower no more
Lift its head to the blows of the rain;
Though they be mad and dead as nails,
Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down
And death shall have no dominion.”
Source: Twenty-five poems
“And death shall have no dominion. Under the windings of the sea They lying long shall not die windily; Twisting on racks when sinews give way, Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break; Faith in their hands shall snap in two, And the unicorn evils run them through; Split all ends up they shan't crack; And death shall have no dominion.”
