Time Quote by Adrienne Wilder
““Only the strong survived. Only the strong were rewarded. For the longest time, Four was another conquest. A prize Three had won. Then he’d realized Four was the one who dominated. He’d tamed the dragon, the monster, and given a conscience to Stone’s most ruthless killer.””
