Love Quote by R.L. LaFevers Dark Triumph
““Are you the one named Alyse? For he calls that name in his sleep.” “No, that is his beloved sister, dead these past three years.” The depth of my disappointment that it is not my name he calls takes me completely by surprise. “Ah,” the old nun says sympathetically, as if she somehow knows what I am feeling. “Then perhaps you are Sybella. That is the name he asks for when he is awake.””
