“To be human is to fear death, to fight for things to be better for yourself and the people you love, and to find joy in the smallest moments. When you’re immortal, each day means nothing.

“It should’ve been this moment, this crucial instant, that shattered Reydon’s illusion about Danial into a million little pieces. He steeled himself to stand up there and then, to leave Reydon to collect the broken remains of his fantasy. Danial raised his eyes to meet Reydon’s squarely, hardening himself for the disappointment he would find there. But all he saw was faith, a fire that far outmatched the feeble embers of burning heather between them. And it reverberated against something inside Danial. As if Reydon radiated an invisible energy that sent an important part of Danial into vacillation.”
― Emily Bellman, God Tokens | Book 1: Phelen the Cycle

“We stood in silence for some time, the fire pit all that separated me from Wacław. The real distance was far greater. We’d been an entire realm apart for the last moon, but I’d felt closer to him then than I did now. A thousand words filled my mind. None were enough.”
