Forge and Fury - Shadow And Bone

TRIGGER WARNING: self harm

I felt no battle inside me when I felt a tug on the bond that connects us. The one that had layed dormant for years. He always knew what game to play and almost alway won.

Because the truth is, he never died. I just blocked him out. Only when I was the lonliess I had ever been did the bond become a conscious thing once more. He had waited centuries for me and now I was ready to embrace him. To embrace the darkness that lives within me.

☯ ۝ ☯

Years after Alina Starkov destroyed the Unsea, she finds herself desperately lonley and on the brink of death. After she is saved by a supposedly dead man, she is lured into him once more by the pain of loneliness and immortality and finds that the only way to see a dead man comes at a price she is willing to pay.

Can she move on or will she be stuck in this loop of pain forever? Who will break first?

☯ ۝ ☯

Trust me it's better than the summary.
I don't own the Shadow and Bone trilogy.
All right go to Leigh Bardgo.
