Quotes edit see section history

  • “Everything has a price.”
  • “A woman with an education may be able to spend more time sitting in a chair instead of lying on her back. A sound advantage, I should think.”
  • “So we reached an agreement. I didn't complain about the way she hogged the pillows, tangled the covers, sprawled over more than her share of the bed, made those cute little noises that we don't call snoring no matter what it sounds like, and growled at everything and everyone until she had her first cup of coffee. And she didn't complain about the way I hogged the pillows, tangled the covers, sprawled over more than my share of the bed, made funny noises that woke her up and stopped the minute she was awake, and tended to be overly cheerful in the morning.”
    Lucivar Yaslana
  • “It is easier to kill than to heal. It is easier to destroy than to preserve. It is easier to tear down than to build. Those who feed on destructive emotions and ambitions and deny the responsibilities that are the price of wielding power can bring down everything you care for and would protect. Be on guard, always.”
    Saetan SaDiablo

Reading Level: Young Adults

There are a lot of adult themes in this book and it is especially saturated in sex. That being said, there is a lot that appeals to the young adult and teenage audiance. I read this book first when I was in high school.
