“One must always be careful of books," said Tessa, "and what is inside them, for words have the power to change us.”<br /> ― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel


The night is quiet. Too quiet. There is not a whisper in the moonlit wood, not so much as a sound from the willow trees. Midnight blankets the forest as a lone figure draped in white ascends to the top of the hill. She is crowned with thistles and ivy: a siren trapped on shore. She speaks in a voice belonging to lost times, one that echoes through the ages. Her words are incomprehensible, but they ring with finality. She curses the world that has forgotten her, curses them as she fades to dust that will be lost on the wind.
