If he remains free of being ruled, whether by sovereigns or by society, this does not mean that he refuses to serve in any way.

Little Sister, my Spring, April. Little nightingale. Sant at the edge of the water. Your voice will come back to you. Maybe. If I am silent."

Author: Jennifer E. Smith

"I've come to save you, love!"
Author: Kim Harrison
