“I’ll use Tyrrendor to protect you, not you to protect Tyrrendor.”
Xaden didn’t just marry Violet so Tyrrendor would have a ruler after he was gone. He didn’t just do it so that she could protect Tyrrendor.
He married Violet so the title would protect her. He laid it out plainly when they were in Deverelli and he called her his consort—“the designation gives you the protection and privileges of my title”. The easiest way to kill venin-Xaden would be to kill Violet and hope that the bond does the job for them, but now that she’s Duchess of Tyrrendor? With the entire army of the largest province in Navarre under her command? And all the wealth and power held by the Riorson family? The Navarrian command can’t touch her.
Because Xaden used Tyrrendor to protect Violet, not the other way around.
It’s been 0 days since I’ve cried over Onyx Storm.
She said softly, “You make me want to live, Rowan. Not survive; not exist. Live.”

Sorry for the low quality of the picture. The original looks a lot better, but since tumblr’s upload is limited to 10 MB and mine was way above that it looks so cropped… So far my favorite of the series! If I’d had more time, I would have read it in a day, but I think four days is rather quick as well. This book introduced so many new, amazing characters and the dynamic of the story just knocked me of my feet. Seriously in love with these books!
You can get the print here. And also a better version here.
Reblogs are loved.

Gosh this Rowan and Aelin art is amazing. The best one’s I have yet seen.
Last night I read this scene, when Rowan sees Celaena’s scars for the first time and this image appeared in my head and it went right to the top of my drawing list.
More than life, more than my territory, more than my crown.
Day 13- “Wings and Embers”.
decided to upload them all together ^^

I got to meet the most wonderful @sjmaas today! It was so surreal and she is so lovely, as his her husband! And I gave her two prints, this being one of them. She said she recognised my art and I nearly passed out. It was so amazing and I had the most amazing time, and thanks to the lovely girl that came up to me at the end, you were so adorable!
