“...a ripple of silence came toward me. As if the wood thrushes and squirrels and moths held their breath while something passed by. My bow was already strung. Quietly, I loosely nocked an arrow. Closer and closer the silence crept. The trees seemed to lean in, their entwined branches locking tighter, a living cage keeping even the smallest of birds from soaring out of the canopy.” SilenceWoodsSarah J MaasAnimalsTreesA Court Of Thorns And RosesCageHeld Their Breath Book:A Court of Thorns and Roses Source: A Court of Thorns and Roses
