Dorian Quote by Sarah J. Maas

“How long will you keep her here?” Dorian said, looking down the stairs. She had attacked the Captain of the Guard in front of his men. Worse than attacked. “As long as it takes,” Chaol said quietly. “For what?” “For her to decide not to kill us all.” quote by Sarah J. Maas
