What does freedom cost when someone else holds the leash?
ΗΣελέινα Σαρντόθιεν είναι η πλέον διαβόητη ασασίνος σε ολόκληρο το βασίλειο. Παρότι ενεργεί για λογαριασμό της πανίσχυρης Αδελφότητας των Ασασίνων και του μηχανορράφου ηγέτη της, του Άροουμπεν Χεμέλ, η Σελέινα δε σκύβει το κεφάλι σε κανέναν, ενώ εμπιστοσύνη έχει μόνο στον Σαμ, επίσης ασασίνο. Όμως, όταν ο Άροουμπεν της αναθέτει αποστολές που την οδηγούν από μακρινά αρχιπελάγη σε εφιαλτικές ερήμους, η Σελέινα αποφασίζει να αναλάβει πρωτοβουλίες που ξεφεύγουν από τις επιθυμίες του αρχηγού της και καταλήγει να αμφισβητήσει ακόμα και την πίστη της σ’ αυτόν. Αν θέλει κάποια στιγμή να ξεφύγει από τον ασφυκτικό έλεγχο του Άροουμπεν, η Σελέινα θα χρειαστεί να εμπιστευτεί απόλυτα το μυαλό και τη λεπίδα της, γνωρίζοντας ότι, αν αποτύχει, θα χάσει όχι μόνο την ευκαιρία της για ελευθερία, αλλά και την ίδια της τη ζωή.

The fury of someone who refuses to accept what you've settled for.
He shakes his head. “No, Auren. You’re the one that needs to burn. You need to spark to life and fight. Stop letting him dull you, stop letting the whole fucking world trample you,” he shouts, making me flinch from the vehement demand. “If you tried, you could shine brighter than the fucking sun. Instead, you’ve chosen to sit back and wither.
Glint · Raven Kennedy
When the primal needs of survival turn against your own humanity.
But being hungry was worse. Being hungry meant that he could smell things he didn’t want to smell—salt on skin; the overripe, sweet smell of blood exuding from the pores of strangers. It made him feel hungry and twisted up and utterly wrong. Hunching over, he jammed his fists into the pockets of his jacket and tried to breathe through his mouth.

What it costs to look away from something you cannot stop.
This was when Winter looked away. When she always looked away. She watched her own fingers burrow into her dress, her fingernails scraping at the fabric until she could feel the sting on her thighs. She watched the ice climb over her wrists, toward her elbows. Where the ice touched, her flesh went numb.
Winter · Marissa Meyer
