The sheer amount of villains I would let raw me is both astounding and highly concerning.

Leigh Bardugo: I have a book idea.

Publisher: Tell me.

LB: It takes place in this fantastic alternative universe and there are people with magical abilities, the Grisha.

P: Sounds good.

LB: There are different kind of Grisha, some can even stop your heartbeat with their power.

P: Dope.

LB: And in this world the Grisha have many enemies, most of them live in fear and are oppressed.

P: Uhm, okay, interesting.

LB: And then there’s the most powerful Grisha of all, who lived for hundreds of years; he’s very handsome and he dedicated his life to free all the Grisha.

P: Nice, and he’s the hero of our story.

Before I could say anything else, his lips were on mine. He held onto me tightly, the urgency strengthening our bond. The darkness in me purred with his, begging for more. He tangled his hand in my hair.

“We are one of them same, Winter. He will never be enough for you. You’re too passionate.” He grabbed my shoulders, looking me dead in the eye. “We understand each other. We’re not like other people. He will never understand your dark side, or embrace it. You’ll always feel like half a person with him.”

“The greatest courage a person can have is to love another, for there are only two outcomes. Either the love lasts, and our lives are compromised, or it doesn’t, and our lives are emptied. Either way, we suffer more than we celebrate. I’ve enjoyed suffering with you. We are a tale for campfires. That is all. That is everything.”

“Sweet Thorn,” he murmured. “We both know better. We’re hypocrites who have ached for this.”

“I disagree.”

“The princess disagrees. The girl trapped within doesn’t.”

Even though the series is over, will we see Poet again in the future? 🙂

SPOILERS🥰🤫👇

It’s pretty likely! I’m planning a spinoff with the Foolish Kingdoms kids that I’m very excited about. So that would include Poet/Briar’s daughter Meadow, and Aspen/Aire’s children, Locust and Falconer...and possibly another son or daughter, though the muse hasn’t told me which couple yet.

Not sure when I’ll get to this, since I’m working on The Dark Fables universe, but it’s definitely something I’m inspired to do :) I’m also thinking of a Poet & Briar novella about their first year together in Autumn, which would release shortly before the spin-off!

Spent the last two days working on this little archery guide in art and writing. Considering the rise in popularity of archers in pop culture this hopefully  comes in handy for a bunch of fandoms.
