Divided Bookmark
This bookmark is a quote from the end of the book where Mairead finally is understanding the power that’s in her. She uses it to defend those she loves.
“Mairead stood, repulsed and heartbroken, the silver practice blade at her side. She took a deep breath to steady her mind and body as Kyeth had taught her and released the gates that held her energy inside. The volume of it, though—there was so much more than she had expected. It spilled over and kept coming, like a wellspring that felt like it would never run dry, the aura wrapping around her blade, her wrists, and flowing to the floor, dragging like a train behind her.”
