Gaze Quote by Sarah J. Maas
““Aelin stepped out of Aedion’s grip, and her cousin swore as his eyes adjusted enough to see what now lay between them and escape. “Don’t get in my way,” she said to him, then launched herself at the guards. Rowan had taught her a few new tricks. She was a whirling cloud of death, a queen of shadows, and these men were already carrion.””
