“No geas can save you from the effects of our fruits and poisons. Think carefully. I could grant you the power to enrapture all who looked upon you instead. I could give you a spot right there.'

I could give you a magical blade that cuts through starlight.” PowerHolly BlackThe Folk Of The AirJude DuarteJudeThe Cruel PrinceDainPrince DainGeasGeases Book:The Cruel Prince Source: The Cruel Prince
“I forbid you from speaking aloud about your service to me. I forbid you from putting it into writing or into song. You will never tell anyone of the Roach. You will never tell anyone of any of my spies. You will never reveal their secrets, their meeting places, their safe houses. So long as I live, you will obey this.” JudeOathThe QueenPrince DainGeas Book:The Cruel Prince Source: The Cruel Prince
“Usually given to mortals in exchange for their service, geases grant power, with a kick-in-the-teeth exception that comes upon you when you least expect it. Like, you're invulnerable, except to an arrow made of the heartwood of a hawthorn tree, which just so happens to be the exact kind of arrow that your worst enemy favours. Or you'll win every battle you're in, but you're not allowed to refuse invitations to dinner, so if someone invites you to dinner right before a battle, you're not going to be able to show up for that fight.” Holly BlackThe Folk Of The AirJude DuarteJudeThe Cruel PrinceExceptionsGeasGeases Book:The Cruel Prince Source: The Cruel Prince
