I love you like a brother, Stryder, but I swear there are times when I could strangle the very life out of you. (Zenobia)'Tis a good thing you care for me then. Given my treatment, I shudder at what you would do to me should you decide to hate me. (Stryder) By Kinley Macgregor Stryder Brother Zenobia Love Swear

You know," she said, pulling back from his neck. "I've always been wrong about something.""And that is?""I thought there was nothing in the world more seductive than a troubadour singing his observations about his lady love. But I was wrong."She trailed her fingernail down his arm, raising chills in its wake. "The most incredible seduction is when a knight who is renowned for his strength speaks from his heart. Not as a knave out to woo a woman because he can, but as a man who wants only to give of himself." Her gaze seared him as she stared into his eyes and he saw her innermost sincerity. "I love you, Stryder. I always will."-Stryder and Rowena By Kinley Macgregor Pulling Neck Stryder Back Love

It's not easy to kill someone, Rowena. To stare at them, face to face, that moment when you both realize you've dealt them a mortal blow. There is something that passes between you. My father once told me it's a part of their soul that creeps into you. A part that will haunt you all of your life. (Stryder) By Kinley Macgregor Rowena Easy Kill Face Part

Then why are women by nature, by God's own design, the gentler sex? Women faint at the slightest scare. (Morgan)Slight scare, Captain? I assure you, sir, that I have seen women suffer for days to bring a child into this world. And I have yet to see a woman faint during the labor of it. I beg you, show me a man who would willingly bear that much pain for that many hours, and not cry out for his mommy! In fact, you want to know why women have a higher tolerance for pain, Captain Drake? I'll tell you why, it's so that we women can put up with you men! (Serenity) By Kinley Macgregor God Women Captain Nature Design

Henry's face went red in anger as he blustered at her audacity. It wasn't often anyone got the better of him, and Sin knew no woman had ever flummoxed him before. Not even Eleanor."You are willing to declare war for him ?" Henry asked indignantly.She didn't hesitate with her response. "I am. Are you?"Sin closed his eyes as he heard the most precious words of his life. She who believed in nothing but peace was willing to fight for him. He could die happily knowing that.Still, he couldn't let her do this. Henry would not rest until he buried her and her clan. A king's reputation was all he had, and if Henry lost face ... "Callie," Sin said, waiting until her gaze met his. "Thank you, but you can't do this. You can't start a war over me. I'm not worth the cost.""You are worth everything to me. By Kinley Macgregor Henry Sin Audacity Red Anger

The bishop was aghast. "You would threaten me?"Christian didn't hesitate with his answer."For her life, aye.""You would jeopardize your soul for her? She is a heretic and a witch.""She is a woman. My woman."His words only succeeded in angering the bishop more. "I will have you excommunicated for this."Christian pulled the black monk's robe from over his head and balled it up. "Then excommunicate me. If I am in the wrong for protecting an innocent woman, then God can judge me as He will. By Kinley Macgregor Christian Aghast Bishop Woman Aye

They travel through the night on the wings of heavenly stallions bringing hope and new faith to those left behind. Even though they are free, they never forget their past and spend their lives trying to bring peace to others. (Brotherhood Chanson) By Kinley Macgregor Travel Night Wings Heavenly Stallions

She broke the seal to find the flowing, masculine script that had come to mean the world to her.Courage, my love. I need you to possess the same fire that led you from Scotland to Normandy that first day when we met. Whatever the day brings, know that I will always love you. You carry with you, my heart, my soul, my very being. Be strong for me, Kenna.Ever your knight,SPostscriptumS doesn't stand for Stryder.She laughed at that, even though her eyes were filled with tears.-Simon in a letter to Kenna By Kinley Macgregor Flowing Masculine Hercourage Broke Seal

You touch her again, and so help me I'll rip your arm off and beat you with it. (Ewan) By Kinley Macgregor Ewan Touch Rip Arm Beat

If you must know, I don't talk about myself because no one ever cared enough to listen. (Jack)What do you mean? (Lorelei)Think about it, Lorelei. How many times a day do you ask someone how they're doing? Their world may have just shattered and yet they look up and say, 'Fine, thank you, and you?' No one cares to hear other people's problems. 'Twas a lesson I learned early in life. (Jack) By Kinley Macgregor Lorelei Jack Listen Talk Cared

Are there any who don't heal?" Christian's throat tightened at her question - that she would be so compassionate, when any other lady of her stature would be demanding the lives of the men who had assaulted her. It was something his mother would have done. "Unfortunately, aye. There are always some who can't adjust. Some kill themselves once they arrive home. A few have gone mad, and some, such as the Scot, live in perpetual torment and seclusion from the world." She reached up to place her fingertips to his lips as she stared up at him with a warm, tender expression. "I wish you had come home to me so that I could have helped you." He pulled the cloth away from her face and stared at her for a hard second. "Had I known what was waiting for me, my lady, I would have."-Adara & Christian By Kinley Macgregor Heal Christian Lady Home Stared

Could you really catch me? (Serenity)Absolutely. Besides, Barney would have my head if I let you make a mess on the deck. (Morgan)Oh, thanks. I'm glad chivalry is alive and well on the high seas. (Serenity) By Kinley Macgregor Serenity Absolutely Morgan Catch Barney

What did they do to you, to make you withdraw so far into yourself? (Sin doesn't answer.) You've left me again, haven't you? I can always tell. Your eyes turn dull, cold. Very well, I shall leave you in peace. But know this: One day I am going to find the heart you have buried away from the world. (Callie)And what would you do with it if you found it? (Sin)I would hold it safe and keep it from the hurt that has shriveled it. (Callie) By Kinley Macgregor Callie Sin Make Withdraw Answer

I didn't think you'd allow me to attend. (Emily)I'm a beast, Emily, not a bastard. (Draven) By Kinley Macgregor Emily Attend Draven Beast Bastard

I love you, Callie ingen Neil, Lairdess of the MacNeelys and wife of a man who is so unworthy of you that he swears he will spend the rest of his life trying to show you just how much you mean to him. (Sin)There's no need to try, Sin. All I have to do is look into your eyes and I know. (Callie) By Kinley Macgregor Sin Neil Lairdess Callie Love

She walked over to Ioan. "And for your information, my lord ... " She lifted his hand and put his index and middle finger upright. "I assure you that there is nothing wrong with Christian's technique or prowess." Corryn, who had paused beside the group after Christian had lunged at Lutian, broke into laughter. Ioan hissed at her. "What are you laughing at?" "I was just thinking of why we can't go to Scotland anymore. Someone should tell Christian about your little problem." She held up her pinkie and wiggled it, then burst into laugher. "You're not supposed to know anything about these matters!" Corryn rushed off before her brother could grab her. By Kinley Macgregor Christian Walked Ioan Corryn Lutian

I can hire someone to guard me. (Rowena)Never trust a hired man. If they'll serve you for one price, they'll gladly serve another for a higher one. (Stryder) By Kinley Macgregor Rowena Stryder Hire Guard Serve

Serenity barely heard the last of his words as he made his way out of the cabin. Instead, her attention was on the quick, clean strokes of Morgan's writing. It amazed her that a pirate would be literate. Especially one sold so young to the sea.She broke the seal.I feel like a weed in the midst of Winter. 'Tis the sunshine of your smile that will bring back the Spring of my days. We arrive in four days. I hope you will grace me again with your presence.Yours,MorganShe traced the flowing letters with the tip of her finger and couldn't suppress a smile. A poetic pirate no less. Who would have thought? By Kinley Macgregor Serenity Cabin Barely Heard Words

Callie tucked her brother into bed, and once he fell asleep, she left her room in search of her husband. She found him outside her door, leaning against the wall with his sword beside him. "Sin? What are you doing?" "'Twould appear I am sitting." "And why are you sitting there?" "Because it's rather difficult to sleep while standing." Callie faltered as his meaning became clear. "You are sleeping outside my door? Why?" "Because if I slept outside of Simon's door, the innkeeper might think I'm strange."-Callie & Sin By Kinley Macgregor Sin Callie Bed Asleep Husband

Beware the man who beguiles you, Lori-Angel. Those are the ones who won't commit to you. Oh, they'll show you wonders, to be sure, and they'll spin your head with their pleasurable ways. But in the end, they always leave you and your broken heart far behind. Believe me, 'tis better to have the simple hound than to follow the fox. Though the fox is fairer to behold, the hound knows where his home is and dutifully he stays, while the handsome fox is ever off to find new game. (Anne Bonny) By Kinley Macgregor Loriangel Beware Fox Man Beguiles

Speak openly. There is no one I trust more than Lutian. (Adara)He's a half-wit, my queen. (Xerus)Half-wit, whole-wit, I have enough of them to know to keep silent. So speak, good counselor, and let the queen judge which of the two of us is the greater fool present. (Lutian) By Kinley Macgregor Lutian Openly Halfwit Adara Xerus

Where are your clothes?" Callie asked, noting he wore very little underneath his "borrowed" kirtle. Very little except for that warm, tawny flesh she found so delectable."The brambles caught him," Angus answered. "That's how we found him. There's shreds of English clothing from hither to yon." Callie felt weak at the news of how close her husband had come to being seriously injured. "Are you truly unharmed?""A bit scratched and bruised, but nothing other than my ego is seriously damaged." Sin grinned playfully. "See now why I always travel with a sword? One never knows when a raging bull is likely to come storming down the street."-Callie, Angus, & Sin By Kinley Macgregor Callie Clothes Angus Sin Borrowed

Without a word or glance, Sin walked past her and climbed up to the stables loft. 'What's he doing?' she asked Braden as she rejoined him. 'I'm leaving the two of you alone,' Sin's muffled voice answered from above. Braden tilted his head up to stare at the wooden beams above their heads. 'Like it would matter, since we know you can hear everything we say?' 'Aye, well, I'm a pervert, not a voyeur.'-Maggie, Sin, & Braden By Kinley Macgregor Sin Braden Glance Loft Word

I want to be alone. (Sin)Well, how fine is that? Here it is our wedding day and you wish to spend it alone. Fine, then, call me shoe leather and have done with it. (Callie)I beg your pardon? Call you what? (Sin)Shoe leather. You know, the inconsequential matter that you treat upon without thought. (Callie) By Kinley Macgregor Sin Callie Shoe Call Fine

Kerrigan?" she tried again."Aye, Lady Mouse. I am here."Relieved, she smiled at the sound of his voice in her head. During the day, he was oft silent. But at night ... at night he would speak softly to her and tell her of his travels through time as he eluded those who were after him."Where are you today, my lord?""I'm in Venice, during a carnival. It's beautiful here. There are minstrels and acrobats all around. Plenty of places to hide from Morgen and her spies.""You are safe?""Aye, Lady Mouse. I am always safe. But I've no wish to talk about me. How are you doing?""I miss you."She swore she could feel his pain as well as her own."I miss you as well and I think of you constantly."-Kerrigan and Seren communicating though their thoughts as they were apart. By Kinley Macgregor Aye Lady Mouse Again Relieved

And what can a simple girl do? (Henry)I was told, by my father, of St. Mary of Aragon who single-handedly brought down an entire Saracen army with nothing more than her faith in God. He also spoke of an ancient Celtic queen named Boudicca who brought Rome to her knees and burned London to the ground. He oft said that a woman was far more deadly as an enemy than a man, because men lead with their heads and women with their hearts. You can argue and win against another's head, but never against her heart. (Callie) By Kinley Macgregor Henry Simple Girl God Mary

Down in the valley, leaves fall from trees, the branches are bare. All the flowers have faded, their blossoms once so beautiful. The frost attacks many herbs and kills them. I grieve. But if the winter is so cold, there must be new joys. Help me sing a joy of a hundred thousand times greater than the buds of May. I will sing of roses on the red cheeks of my lady. Could I win her favor, this lovely lady would give me such joy I would need no other. (Jack)What are you saying? (Lorelei)Noble lady, I ask nothing of you save that you should accept me as your servant. I will serve you as a good lord should serve, whatever the reward may be. Here I am, then, at your orders, sincere and humble, gay and courteous. You are not, after all, a bear or lion, and would not kill me, surely, if I put myself between your hands. I love you, my lady, Lorelei. Marry me and I swear I shall never again do or say anything to harm you and I will slay anyone who does. (Jack) By Kinley Macgregor Lady Lorelei Jack Valley Leaves

I was thinking of setting myself on fire tonight. Would you mind? (Callie)What? (Sin)Ha! I knew it. I knew I could get you to talk. Just think, a whole word, too. Who knows if I keep this up, I might have you speaking an entire sentence by week's end. (Callie) By Kinley Macgregor Callie Tonight Thinking Setting Fire

Varian, please. I didn't mean what I said.''Of course you didn't,' he said snidely. 'No one ever does. People always speak without thought. But it's amazing how much damage thoughtless words can wreak, isn't it? By Kinley Macgregor Varian Snidely Said People Thought

You better not tup our sister! Or you'll be having us to deal with, Braden MacAllister! (Duncan)Could I please just deal with one threat of death at a time? (Braden) By Kinley Macgregor Braden Sister Duncan Deal Tup

Staring at the floor, she didn't even look up as the final contestant entered.Not until she heard a deep, rich baritone that filled the hall with the most beautiful sound she had ever heard.Her heart pounding, she looked up to see Stryder holding his mother's lute.Only it wasn't a love song he sang.More like a limerick, it was a song about a woman who fancied herself a goose.And a man who gobbled her up.Laughter and applause rang out as soon as he strummed the last note.Breathe, breathe.It was the only thing Rowena could think. And even that couldn't get her to take a breath as Stryder approached her.He smoothed her hair and straightened her feathered crown. "Methinks my goose has molted."Rowena laughed as more tears streaked down her face. By Kinley Macgregor Song Stryder Rowena Staring Floor

What do you mean? (Fatima)There's so much evil out there to protect him and others from. How can I fight for that and keep him safe simultaneously? (Stryder)I still do not understand, milord. You are but one man with one sword to fight all the world. This is indeed a good thing. But when you are gone so too is your sword. So it seems to me that while it is important to fight the bad man, it is just as equally important to raise a good one. Raising more than one would be even better. That way when you are gone, you will leave a whole generation behind who will fight for what is right. (Fatima) By Kinley Macgregor Fatima Fight Stryder Good Important

If it makes you feel better though, she is well worth it. (Draven)I hope you can still say that when they're scooping your entrails out and you're still alive to feel it. (Simon) By Kinley Macgregor Draven Feel Simon Makes Worth

Please don't send me away, Serenity. I came back because I need you. I want us ... you, me, and Nicholas ... to have a life together. To build a house ... and ... and farm like Jake, or maybe buy a business. I no longer care where I live. I just want to be with you, Serenity. With you and with Nicholas forever. Please say yes. (Morgan) By Kinley Macgregor Serenity Send Nicholas Jake Morgan

Your brother is a beslubbering, churlish, hell-governed princox, and I hope one day he gets the beating he deserves for it. (Maggie) By Kinley Macgregor Churlish Maggie Beslubbering Hellgoverned Princox

Merewyn was a little more rational. "Perhaps we should whisper amongst ourselves and make them wonder what we speak of?" Blaise wagged his eyebrows at her before he pulled her into his arms. "Works well for me. Put your arms around my neck, and I'll breathe in your ear." Varian put the blade of his sword between them. "You can whisper from there." Blaise appeared appalled. "What are you? An old maid?" "I promised her my protection." The mandrake shook his head. "You're gay, aren't you?" Varian raised the blade to rest against Blaise's Adam's apple. He carefully pressed it close. Not so much that it drew blood, but enough to let him know that he wasn't amused. "Or not." Varian used the blade to push him away from Merewyn. His gaze met hers, and he felt the heat of his desire for her all the way through his body. At the moment, he wished he were gay. Then she wouldn't tempt him so. "Or not. Definitely or not. By Kinley Macgregor Rational Blaise Varian Blade Merewyn

She is beautiful, isn't she? (Lochlan)Like the first day of spring after a long, harsh winter. (Sin) By Kinley Macgregor Lochlan Beautiful Sin Long Harsh

Simon stepped forward and clapped him on the shoulder. "Nothing better than making a maid happy, is there?""Aye, there most assuredly is." Simon cocked a puzzled brow."Skewering my meddlesome brother would definitely be better."Simon laughed. "Then I'd best go pack so that I won't be directly in your sight for the next few minutes.""You do that, Simon, and while you're at it, make sure to find your common sense and bring it along as well. By Kinley Macgregor Simon Shoulder Aye Stepped Forward

There are times when I swear that boy is as mature as an old man, and other times when he hasn't got the sense of a three-year-old babe. (Mavis)Good Lord, Mavis. He is a grown man after all! (Alice) By Kinley Macgregor Mavis Babe Times Good Lord

Sin spied a straw-covered head peeping over the side of the wagon. Once the man disappeared from sight, the woman scrambled from the cart, with the boy one step behind. No one seemed to notice her peculiar activity, or if they did, they ignored it. She took a moment to dust the straw off them, but somehow she missed a piece that hung in the midst of one coppery curl. It bobbed as she moved. Simon laughed as she took the boy's hand and led him through the crowd. "Why was she hiding?" "She seeks to escape royal custody." The mirth faded from Simon's eyes. "Should we notify the guards?" "Nay, I think we can manage to retake her." "Then what are we waiting for?" "I have no idea. I simply like watching her maneuver."-Simon, Sin, Callie & Jamie By Kinley Macgregor Simon Wagon Spied Strawcovered Head

Trust me, Stryder, there is no greater pain than to let the one you love leave your side. Knowing they are out there, alone, and always wondering if they are healthy and happy. (Zenobia) By Kinley Macgregor Stryder Trust Side Zenobia Greater

Go to the devil, Captain Drake. (Serenity)That's not very ladylike! (Morgan)Then try this one. Go to hell, and ... and rot! (Serenity) By Kinley Macgregor Serenity Captain Drake Devil Morgan

A few minutes later, Phantom returned with a gown. "'Tis not fancy, but it will suffice." They left Adara alone to dress. Corryn ran off to wait with the men downstairs while Phantom and Christian waited in the hallway. "If you want, I will go to the jail and kill them before we leave," Phantom offered. It was tempting, but not realistic. Not even Phantom was that talented. "You can't do that." Phantom laughed evilly. "Trust me, I could get into their cell and have their throats slit and be out again before even they knew it." There were times when Phantom almost scared him. He didn't know what disturbed him more, the fact that Phantom offered or the fact that he seemed so willing to spill their blood. "Adara says to leave them be." Phantom shook his head as if he couldn't believe what Christian had said. "She's an incredible lady, isn't she?" Christian nodded. "Her strength amazes me. By Kinley Macgregor Phantom Christian Gown Adara Tis

You've no idea what it's like, Captain Drake, to be a woman. To be told all your life that everything you want is foolish and that you're useless except as a broodmare. First it was simple. 'Don't climb that tree, Serenity. Ladies never do such.' Then it was, 'Don't run, it's not ladylike. Don't raise your voice. Don't speak your thoughts. Don't laugh too loudly, don't eat too much, don't cut your hair, don't wear those colors.' My whole life is don't. Now I'm too old to even be a broodmare. (Serenity) By Kinley Macgregor Captain Drake Serenity Woman Idea

Heard from whom? (Lochlan)From me, you worthless lickspittle. So tell me what miracle dragged the three of you from your holes and got your lazy hides all the way here. And a day early, no less. (Sin) By Kinley Macgregor Heard Lochlan Sin Lickspittle Worthless

You're not like other people and it pains me to see you do something so common when I know there's much more to you than that. (Jack)How do you know? (Lorelei)I see it every time I look at you. You have a passion for life that burns so bright it almost singes me to be near it. Every time I see you suppress that fire it pains me. I don't want anything to extinguish that fire. (Jack) By Kinley Macgregor Jack Pains People Common Time

Where is Sin's plaid? (Lochlan)Plaid cloth is for people of true Scots blood, Lochlan. They are not for half-blooded Sassenachs. (Aisleen)(He had found Sin later that day, alone in their room. Sin had been sitting in the middle of the floor with his arm cut open while he let blood trail from the wound into a bowl.)What are you doing? (Lochlan)I'm trying to get rid of the English blood in me, but it doesn't look any different than yours. How can I make it go away when I can't find the difference? (Sin) By Kinley Macgregor Lochlan Sin Plaid Blood Scots

Nora cocked her head as she studied it. It was an interesting piece. Rather large as it lay nestled in the short, dark curls. It seemed oddly harmless lying there, and she had a sudden urge to reach out and touch it. By Kinley Macgregor Nora Cocked Head Studied Piece

I'm not moping. (Ewan)Oh, forgive me. See, where I come from an upside-down smile means you're frowning, and if you're frowning while withdrawn from everyone and everything, it means you're moping. I guess here in your cave, the world is backward and a frown means you're happy. (Nora) By Kinley Macgregor Moping Ewan Frowning Nora Forgive

Insect, pup, or rat. It certainly seems to me that you don't know what he is, so maybe you should leave him alone...'Gracious, Lorelei, you should have kept your mouth shut! Why not just call him a smelly rhinoceros wart while you're at it?' (Lorelei) By Kinley Macgregor Lorelei Insect Pup Rat Gracious

Emily sighed and looked to Simon. "Your brother is a hard man." Draven choked on his wine. She frowned. "Milord, are you all right?" she asked, pounding her hand on his back. "Fine," Draven said, then shrugged off her touch. "Your choice of words just caught me off guard." Once more Simon burst into laughter. "What?" she asked. Simon shook his head. "I'll leave it to my brother to explain to you just how hard a man he is." "Simon," he warned. "Don't growl at me when you instigated it."-Emily, Draven & Simon By Kinley Macgregor Simon Draven Emily Sighed Looked

Varian cringed as Merewyn faced him. If he looked half as bad as he suspected, he wouldn'thave blamed her had she run for the door. "You don't have to do this." She stepped into his arms. "Yes, Varian, I do." She brushed the matted hair back from his face. "I don't care what you look like. It's you I love, not your looks. Your humor, your kindness, even that little snuffle snore you make when you sleep." "I don't snore." She laughed. "Yes, you do." And with that she pulled his lips to hers. By Kinley Macgregor Merewyn Varian Cringed Faced Snore

Marriage. 'Tis an unholy union between two people, and for what purpose? To make them both miserable. (Stryder)I don't believe is has to be that way. Imagine a marriage where the man and woman respect each other. Where they are partners and allies. (Rowena)You are sober and speak more foolishness than I do while drunk. (Stryder) By Kinley Macgregor Stryder Tis Marriage Rowena People

Mmm. Let me guess. I like to drink the blood of innocents, feast on the entrails of knights and eat the hearts of small children everywhere. (Sin)Aye, that was much the consensus. (Callie)Well, I hope you didn't go to such trouble to feed me. I fear 'tis off season for good blood, and knights can be rather testy when you disembowel them. (Sin) By Kinley Macgregor Sin Mmm Aye Callie Blood

Looking uncertain, Lutian came forward. Royal protocol aside, Adara hugged him close in relief of seeing him whole and hearty. "Thank the Lord that you are unharmed. I was terrified of what they'd done to you." "Methinks they unaddled my noggin, my queen. For the first time in years, I seem to be thinking right again." She smiled at him, then placed a chaste kiss to his cheek. "We both know there was never anything really wrong with your noggin, Lutian," she whispered in his ear. "Aye, but 'tis more fun to pretend that there is. By Kinley Macgregor Lutian Uncertain Forward Adara Noggin

Christian growled in anger at his wife's unreasonable temper. "Fine, Adara. Whenever you decide to grow up and act responsibly, I shall be in our tent." "Me, irresponsible? You're the one who wants to run away. So go. Leave. Creta. Au revior. Bon voyage. Auf Wiedersehen. Vaarwel. Arrivederci ... " Christian glared at her even though she wasn't even looking at him. "I understood you the first time." "Then why are you still here? By Kinley Macgregor Temper Fine Adara Growled Anger

Nay," she said stubbornly. "I have just been told that the only chance I have for freedom is in your hands and by all that is holy, you will deliver me my freedom or I shall see to it that you live out the rest of your life in merciless misery."He gaped at her. On any other man such an expression would have looked foolish, but to credit Lord Stryder, even when taken by surprise, he still managed to carry off an air of supreme authority and handsomeness. "I beg your pardon? Have you gone completely mad?""Not I, but rather the king you love so well. It appears he would see us marry.""My hairy arse."She gave him a droll stare. "That is much more information about your person, Lord Stryder, than I care to know. By Kinley Macgregor Nay Stryder Stubbornly Lord Freedom

The only way to peace is to lay aside weapons. (Rowena)And the bloodiest of wars are often fought not with weapons, but rather with tongues. A man can heal an external wound a thousand times faster than he can heal even a small one dealt to his heart. You are a warrior, milady. You just choose a different forum for your battles, but you battle nonetheless. Like the men you hate so much, you hurt and wound. Have you given thought to why you fight the wars you do? (Zenobia) By Kinley Macgregor Weapons Rowena Peace Lay Heal

Was that a smile? (Nora)Was what a smile? (Ewan)That strange curvature of your lips. You know, the one where the corners are actually going up instead of down. (Nora) By Kinley Macgregor Nora Smile Ewan Lips Strange

She glanced up from his lips to those dark eyes that smoldered with his fire. She remembered now what they had looked like as she'd seen him before Morgen had entered his world. "Your eyes used to be blue.""That was a long time ago."-Seren to Kerrigan By Kinley Macgregor Fire Glanced Lips Dark Smoldered

When he'd started out, he'd expected to find his brother. What he'd never thought to find was the treasure that slept beside him now.Would you trade this to have Kieran back?It was a choice he was grateful he didn't have to make. But in the end, he knew the truth.Catarina was his life. He would sacrifice anything for her.Anyone. By Kinley Macgregor Find Brother Started Expected Kieran

Downfall? How ominous you make it sound. There is no downfall being plotted. Merely a question being asked. (Callie)Aye, and empires have been splintered apart over the mere utterance of a single word. (Sin) By Kinley Macgregor Callie Aye Sin Downfall Sound

Out of fifty, five of them emerged as our leaders: the Wraith, who moved with stealth and secrecy while he ran interference with our guards; the Scot, who sacrificed himself for others so that they would not be punished; the Widowmaker, who watched over us and planned our escape; the Sorcerer, who was able to distract and steal whatever we needed; and the Abbot, whose scholarly ways and unending faith reminded us that we were still human even though we lived as animals in a filthy cage. We named the five of them the Quinfortis, a latin term that means the strength of five. By Kinley Macgregor Wraith Scot Widowmaker Sorcerer Abbot

Ewan had shown her ways for a man to take a woman that she wouldn't have thought possible. But never once had he hurt her.Nay, her bear was ever tender. By Kinley Macgregor Ewan Shown Man Woman Thought

Gathering wool, are we? (Ewan)Nay, merely practicing irritating you, and by the looks of your face, I'd say I'm doing a rather remarkable job of it. My mother always says that any effort worth pursuing is worth pursuing well. (Nora) By Kinley Macgregor Ewan Nay Gathering Wool Nora

And yet you're a knight. (Rowena)Because I have seen the great evil that is done on this earth to those who can't fight for themselves. The meek only inherit the grave while the strong go on until someone stronger stops them. (Stryder) By Kinley Macgregor Knight Rowena Stryder Great Evil

How will we find your friend Ioan?" Adara asked. Before Christian could respond, a man was thrown through an open doorway and went sprawling before them into the street while raucous laughter, taunts, and insults rang out after him. Two more men quickly joined him in the street. They all lay on the ground, groaning.
