"Swords are boring," the queen said, and palmed two fighting knives.Manon sheathed Wind-Cleaver along her own back. She flicked her wrists, the iron nails shooting out. She cracked her jaw, and her fangs descended, "Indeed".The queen looked at the nails, the teeth, and grinned.Honestly---it was a shame Manon had to kill her. book-quotethrone-of-glassmanon-blackbeakShe had not understood what it had been like for him to live his entire life underground, chained and beaten and crippled-until then.
