Darkness Quote by Sarah J. Maas
““So Aedion Ashryver let himself be led into the darkness. He did not bother with prayers, for himself or for the captain. The gods had not helped him these past ten years, and they would not save him now. He did not mind dying. Though he still wished he’d gotten a chance to see her—just once.””
