  1. Sarah J. Maas _ The Assassin and the Desert

    If you can learn to endure pain, you can survive anything.
    book-quote

  2. Sarah J. Maas _ The Assassin and the Desert

    The Mute Master had told her that people dealt with their pain in different ways-that some chose to drown it, some chose to love it, and some chose to let it turn into rage.
    book-quote

  3. Sarah J. Maas _ The Assassin and the Desert

    One arrow, that had been her promise. But she'd also promised Ansel that she had twenty minutes to get out of range. Celaena had fired after twenty-one.

  4. Sarah J. Maas _ The Assassin and the Desert

    Where do men find it in themselves to do such monstrous things? How do they find it acceptable?"We'll make them pay for it in the end." Celaena grasped Ansel's hand. The girl squeezed back. "We'll see to it that they pay.""Yes." Ansel shifted her gaze back to the stars. "Yes, we will.

    When you give your master his letter, also give him this. And tell him that in the Red Desert, we do not abuse our disciples.

  6. Sarah J. Maas _ The Assassin and the Desert

    The undergarments were plain-and folded. Who folded their undergarments? Celeana thought of her enormous closet back home, exploding with colour and different fabrics and patterns, all tossed together. Her undergarments, while expensive, usually wound up in a heap in their drawer. Sam, probably, folded his undergarments. Though, depending on how much of him Arobynn left intact, he might not be able to now. Arobynn would never permanently main her, but Sam might have faired worse. Sam had always been the expendable one.

  7. Sarah J. Maas _ The Assassin and the Desert

    Wasn't that wonderful?"Breathing hard, Celeana didn't say anything as she punched Ansel so hard in the face that the girl went flying off her horse and tumbled onto the sand. Ansel just clutched her jaw and laughed.

  8. Sarah J. Maas _ The Assassin and the Desert

    Mikhail truly liked Ansel-that much was obvious. he always found excuses to touch her, always smiled at her, always looked at her as if she were the only person in the room. Celeana sloshed her wine around in her glass. If she were being honest, sometimes she thought Sam looked at her that way. But then he'd go and say something absurd, or try to undermine her, and she'd chide herself for even thinking about him. Her stomach tightened. What had Arobynn done to him that night? She should have inquired after him. But in the day's after him, she's been so busy, wrapped up in her rage... She hadn't dared look for him, actually. Because if Arobynn had hurt Sam the way he'd hurt her... Celeana drained the rest of her wine.

  9. Sarah J. Maas _ The Assassin and the Desert

    I think you will leave a lasting imprint on Ansel's heart. You spared her life, and returned her father's sword. And maybe when she makes her next move to reclaim her title, she will remember the assassin from the North and the kindness you showed her, and try to leave fewer bodies in her wake.

  10. Sarah J. Maas _ The Assassin and the Desert

    Hisli's tail flicked to the side as the arrow buried itself in the sand just inches behind her rear hooves. But Ansel didn't dare look over he shoulder. She kept riding, and she did not stop. Celeana lowered her bow and watched until Ansel disappeared beyond the horizon. One arrow, that had been her promise. But she's also promised Ansel that she's had twenty minutes to get out of range. Celeana had fired after twenty-one.

  11. Sarah J. Maas _ The Assassin and the Desert

    But there are some times when words are necessary - when explanations are needed that mere gestures cannot convey.
    book-quote

  12. Sarah J. Maas _ The Assassin and the Desert

    With nothing else to distract her, Celeana eventually returned to thinking about Sam. Even weeks later, she had no idea how she'd somehow gotten attached to him, what he'd been shouting when Arobynn beat her, and why Arobynn had thought he'd need three seasoned assassins to restrain him that day.
