“Losing your family鈥�.it puts fear in a different perspective,鈥� he said. 鈥淏esides, I got by all right. I stayed on the fringe around Chicago, hoped around tent cities and Red Cross camps. Worked for some people who didn鈥檛 ask questions. Avoided case-workers and foster care. And thought about you.鈥�
鈥淢e?鈥� I huffed, completely unsettled. In awe at how vanilla my life seemed. In awe of what he鈥檇 endured, He turned then, meeting my eyes for the first time. When he spoke, his voice was gentle, and unashamed.
鈥淵ou. The only thing in my life that doesn鈥檛 change. When everything went to hell, you were all I had.”

“Uh鈥鈥檝e seen you around here a couple of times,鈥� he said again, staring at the book I held. 鈥溾€業 had come face to face with some one whose mere personality was so fascinating that, if I allowed it to do so, it would absorb my whole nature, my whole soul, my very art itself.鈥欌€�
I stared. 鈥淲hat?鈥�
His lopsided grin spread into a full one, and it felt like someone had socked me in the chest. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a quote from Oscar Wilde鈥檚 Dorian Gray. It鈥檚 one of my favorite books.鈥�
Hot and smart. And apparently he was a real-life boy.”

“Because if I don't, Ember will go without me and get herself killed! Riley snapped, and finally looked in my direction. Those piercing gold eyes met mine across the room, the shadow of Riley's true form staring at me.I shivered as he held my gaze. Because she doesn't know St. George like I do, he went on. She hasn't seen what they're capable of. She doesn't know what they do to our kind if we're discovered. I do. And I'm not going to let that happen.”

“Riley took a deep breath. "Yeah," he said, nodding. "You're right. We can't stop. We can't let this continue. The organization will do horrible things to their hatchlings and undesirables even if there are no rogues to take the fall. If I don't keep fighting Talon, who will?
"I will," I said softly.
He chuckled. "I don't know, Firebrand. Think you can handle a dozen hormonal teenage dragons if I go down someday?
" I lived with an obnoxious twin brother for years," I responded. " I think I could manage." He arched a dubious eyebrow, and I sobered. " But that's not going to happen, Riley, because you're not going to die. This work, what your doing now, is too important. Someone has to stand against Talon, to show our kind what the organization is really like. And your not the only one who has a chance." I raised my chin, my voice firm. " You can't let them win. We can't let them win. And I'm going to do whatever it takes for us to succeed." Riley was motionless, watching me with gold eyes, and I held his stare. " I'm not walking away from this," I told him. " Or you. I'll keep fighting, however long it takes.”

“Egy megt茅p谩zott 丑补箩贸t rendbehozni nem nagy dolog, csak hozz谩茅rt艖 kezek kellenek hozz谩, anyag 茅s 辫茅苍锄, Tryggvi 眉zlete pedig mindennek a birtok谩ban van, b谩r az 谩csok keze nem az 艖 tulajdona, nem k枚zvetlen眉l, de nem sok h铆ja van, s艖t, a k眉l枚nbs茅g val贸sz铆n疟leg eleny茅sz艖. Nem, nem nagy dolog egy 丑补箩贸t rendbehozni, csak id艖 kell hozz谩, b谩r alig t枚bb n茅h谩ny h茅tn茅l, ebben az esetben k茅t vagy h谩rom h茅t legfeljebb.

“Lament's trot soon became a canter. Her canter, a gallop. The forest blurred around them as they picked up speed, blazing through copses and thickets, the rhythm of the horse's hooves drumming like thunder.
Despite the stinging wind crushing past them, it wasn't cold. Heat radiated from Lament's black coat, and when Emeline looked down she found red flames flickering in the horse's mane. Tongues of fire engulfed Emeline's fingers, licking her skin. She jerked hand free, staring in horror. But her fingers were unsinged.
Holy cats!
Was Lament an ember mare?
It was impossible. The wild, unearthly horses were forged of fire and said to be uncatchable. Untamable. In no story she knew had one ever been ridden.
But Emeline had thought shadow skins impossible too.
The pungent tang of smoke smoldered in the air. They were out of the Stain---nothing dead surrounded them here. The forest was lush and green and living. But in the distance, Emeline saw red.
Fire.
It surged toward them from the right, spreading quickly. Emeline was about to cry out in alarm, in case the boy at her back hadn't seen it, when she heard the sound of hoofbeats. Hundreds of them. Pummeling the earth in time with Lament's.
Wait.
Emeline squinted into the distance.
It wasn't a forest fire advancing on them. It was a massive herd of ember mares. Their black bodies raged red, like burning coal, and their manes smoldered with bright flames. They were stampeding, headed straight for Lament with no sign of slowing or stopping.”

“All around them, ember mares rushed alongside Lament. They had never intended to trample her but to join her. The graceful rhythm of their muscular bodies, the thunder in their hooves as they ran...they mesmerized Emeline. Moving as one, they reminded her of a cresting wave. A sea of fire.
And beyond their blazing splendor, all was black.
Night had fallen in the woods.
In the steady rhythm of Lament's gait, Emeline heard assurances she'd been too frightened to hear before. I have you, Lament's hooves pounded out. I am steady and true. I won't let you fall.”

“Csud谩latos dolog, de igaz, hogy az emberek a v枚lgyeket szeretik, 茅s nem a hegyeket.
Tal谩n mert f茅lnek t艖l眉k; lehet. Hogy itt fenn erd艖t l谩tnak, meg k枚vet meg felleget, aki az ormok k枚r眉l tekereg. Hogy itt fenn er艖sebben zeng a zivatar. De itt kor谩bban k茅l a nap, 茅s k茅s艖bben nyugszik, 茅s 鈥� k枚zel茅bb az Isten. Tal谩n 茅ppen ez茅rt nem szeretik a hegyeket.”

“K枚z枚ny枚s a vil谩g... az 茅let
Egy 枚sszezs煤folt t谩ncterem,
S眉r枚g-forog, j艖-megy a n茅ps茅g
Be 茅s ki, sz疟nes-sz眉ntelen.
脡s a j枚v艖ket, t谩voz贸kat
Ki gy艖zn茅 mind k枚sz枚nteni!
Nagy r茅szv茅tel, ha n茅melyik眉nk
Az ismer艖st... megismeri.
K枚z枚ny枚s a vil谩g... az ember
脰nz艖, fal茅kony h煤sdarab,
Mik茅p a herny贸, telhetetlen,
Mind茅g el艖re m谩sz s - harap.
S ha els枚p枚rt egy ivad茅kot
Ama v茅n kert茅sz, a 丑补濒谩濒,
M谩s k茅l megint, ha nem rosszabb, de
Nem is jobb a tavalyin谩l.”

“Utols贸 leheletemmel is k枚sz枚n枚m a sorsnak, hogy ember voltam, 茅s az 茅rtelem szikr谩ja vil谩g铆tott az 茅n hom谩lyos lelkemben is. L谩ttam a f枚ldet, az eget, az 茅vszakokat.

T枚rt茅nhetett velem m谩s, jobb, nagyszer疟bb? Nem t枚rt茅nhetett. Meg茅ltem a legt枚bbet 茅s a legnagyszer疟bbet, az emberi sorsot. M谩s 茅s jobb nem is t枚rt茅nhetett velem.”
