Chasing Embers Quotes

“Some women went for the knight. Others wanted the beast. Neither stood a chance of a happy ending. Until Rose. Rose who only wanted the real him, a secret he could not share. There among the scattered tulips, in a cold and silent embrace, the two of them said welcome home.”
― James Bennett, Chasing Embers

“Atiya will bring barwaaqo to us. God’s rain.” In such a dry land, it was small wonder the tribes had a word to describe – no, contain, catch like a vessel – the sacred importance of water. The holiness of rain.”

“I have seen your world, little beast. I have drunk of its terror and hope. Humans fear the darkness that gave them birth and harness the light to outshine the stars. They build machines that cough with smoke and poison the very air. They suck up the blood of the earth and pour filth into the seas. They speak boldly of freedom and peace and think they can buy them with war. Money is their temple and greed their god. They stand in defiance of all that is real, turning magic into myth, myth into Remnants, choosing to live in a cold dead dream.”
― James Bennett, Chasing Embers
