“A prison does not only lock its inmates inside, it keeps all others out. Her strongest prison is of her own construction.”

“The story of Terisa and Geraden began very much like a fable. She was a princess in a high tower. He was a hero come to rescue her. She was the only daughter of wealth and power.
