A Lick of Frost
“He moved in a blur of speed that left the room in streamers of color. It was almost as if he didn’t so much open the door and go through it but was moving so quickly that the door wasn’t solid enough to stop us. I wasn’t sure if the door opened or not, but we were on the other side of it. He turned me in his arms, so that he was carrying me like a child, or a bride on her wedding night. He moved down the hallway at a quick trot, away from the door and the sound of battle inside.I could order Ga...len around more than most of the guard.

It was one of those moments when I would have given almost anything not to be a princess. There were too many decisions, too many moments like this, where, lose or win, I would still lose.He put me down, but kept my hand, as if he knew I might go back.MoreLess
