Terrasen Fallen Quote by Sarah J. Maas
““Elena had never considered where she might die—never considered that it might be so far from the rocky green of Terrasen. That her body might not be burned, but devoured by the dread-lord’s beasts. There would be no marker to tell the world where a Princess of Terrasen had fallen. There would be no marker for any of them.””
