if we were villains by m. l. rio

Enter the players. There were seven of us then, seven bright young things with wide precious futures ahead of us, though we saw no farther than the books in front of our faces. We were always surrounded by books and words and poetry, all the fierce passions of the world bound in leather and vellum. (I blame this in part for what happened.)

“i have a heart like you, ayla.” crier repeated, pressing ayla’s hand harder against her chest. ayla heard her own heartbeat and felt crier's—a song tapping against her palm, a racing pulse beneath her fingers. ayla was breathing too hard. she was breathing too hard. “i feel things too,” crier whispered.

@booksociety’s author debuts event: silver in the wood by emily tesh

“At once slow deep green rolled over him. He took a breath, and another, smelling old rotting leaves and healthy growth and autumn light. He felt almost as though he could have planted his feet and become a tree himself, a strong oak reaching up to the sky, brother of the old oak who ruled the wood.”

“I have become something wonderful, she thought. I have become something terrible. Was she now a goddess or a monster? Perhaps neither. Perhaps both.”
