Naomi pulled Lara's hair into a braided coil atop her head, giving the effect of a sable crown, and adorned it with individual pearls sewn onto pins.

“With Nicasia by his side, Cardan drew others to him until he formed a malicious little foursome who prowled the isles of Elfhame looking for trouble. They unravelled precious tapestries and set fire to part of the Crooked Forest. They made their instructors at the palace school weep and made courtiers terrified to cross them.
Valerian, who loved cruelty the way some Folk loved poetry.
Locke, who had a whole empty house for them to run amok in, along with an endless appetite for merriment.
Nicasia, whose contempt for the land made her eager to have all of Elfhame kiss her slipper.
And Cardan, who modelled himself on his eldest brother and learned how to use his status to make Folk scrape and grovel and bow and beg, who delighted in being a villain.
Villains were wonderful. They got to be cruel and selfish, to preen in front of mirrors and poison apples, and trap girls on mountains of glass. They indulged all their worst impulses, revenged themselves for the least offense, and took every last thing they wanted.
And sure, they wound up in barrels studded with nails, or dancing in iron shoes heated by fire, not just dead, but disgraced and screaming.
But before they got what was coming to them, they got to be the fairest in the land.”

I’d never “brained” anyone in my life, but with Tori’s mom, I was willing to try.”

It was like coming close to some immense source of heat, a blast furnace or a sun, that had no burning quality whatever.”

“With no other choice, Tory approached Ash slowly. Warily. Could he even tell if it was her? By the way he was acting, she didn't think so. "Baby?"
He looked up at her with blood red eyes that held no semblance of understanding. They were feral and cold. The eyes of a predator.
With a speed she couldn't even see with her naked eye, Ash was off the floor. He grabbed her by the throat, threw her down on the ground and sank his fangs deep into her neck.
Ash's head buzzed and his shoulder ached as he finally slaked some of the hunger that had been tearing at him for days. The blood was so good. So warm and satisfying. He licked and sucked, drinking it in until he was normal again.
But as he returned to himself, his anger mounted that she'd let him go so long without nourishment. Even though he hadn't been able to speak, he remembered her watching him through the door.
You'll eat when you please me..." She knew what those words did to him and he was tired of her abuse.
"Artemis, you..." His words trailed off as he pulled away from her throat and realized it wasn't Artemis he was holding.
It was Tory and she was extremely pale from the blood loss.
Horror filled him. Her neck was savagely torn from his teeth, her brown eyes half-hooded as she struggled to breathe. No! His soul screamed out. How could he have hurt her?
How could he be so far gone that he hadn't even realized it was Tory he tasted?
Because Artemis had kept him without food for too long. And then she'd thrown a human in with him, knowing a human couldn't survive his feeding.
"Oh gods," he breathed, choking. "Stay with me, baby. I'll get you help."
She coughed as she reached up to touch his lips that were covered in her blood from his feeding. He saw the fear in her eyes and the pain that he'd caused her. The guilt was more than he could bear.
"Soteria?" he whispered her name like a prayer. "Akribos?"
She expelled one last breath before her eyes glazed over and her hand fell limply to the ground where it landed palm up.
Unimaginable grief tore through him as he realized he'd just killed her. Throwing his head back, Ash bellowed from the weight of guilt and pain that assaulted him.
He would never have hurt her. Never!”

“With no power to annul the elemental evil in him, though readily enough he could hide it; apprehending the good, but powerless to be it; a nature like Claggart’s, surcharged with energy as such natures almost invariably are, what recourse is left to it but to recoil upon itself and, like the scorpion for which the Creator alone is responsible, act out to the end the part allotted it.”
