Hold A Grudge Quote by Leigh Bardugo

“When she spoke again, she didn't recognize her own voice. It was a low, thrumming thing, the rage within her burning like a crucible, making it something new. "I'm a daughter of Nemesis," she said, "the goddess of divine retribution. You may want to think about how well I can hold a grudge.” quote by Leigh Bardugo
