✨ Seven Orders of Clairvoyance ✨ | From The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon

They are right to fear. They are wise to oppress. For are we not vastly superior to them, we Unnaturals? For though we pick the Bones of Society, though we crawl in Gutters and beg for our Keep, we are living Conduits to the World Beyond. – An Obscure Writer, On the Merits of Unnaturalness

The dragons watched her. It was said they could see the deepest secrets of a soul, for human beings were made of water, and all water was theirs

⚓ Captain Gian Harlowe & Rosarian IV, The Merrow Queen, Thirty-Fifth Queen of Inys

‘Captain,’ Ead said, and Harlowe grunted, ‘at the Inysh court, there are rumours about you, spoken deep in the shadows. Rumours that you courted Queen Rosarian.’ She watched his brow darken. ‘They say you meant to take her to the Milk Lagoon.’

‘The Milk Lagoon is a fable,’ he said curtly. ‘A tale whispered to children and lovers without hope.’

‘A wise young woman told me once that all legends grow from a seed of truth.’‘Is it you or the Queen of Inys who desires the truth?’

Ead waited, watching his face. Those eyes were in a distant past.

‘She was never much like Rose.’ His voice softened. ‘She was night-born, you know. They say that makes a child grave . . . but Rose came into the world at the lark’s calling.’

Meeting Samantha Shannon

Samantha Shannon is the author of the popular series The Bone Season. I met her back in April I think, but I never got around to posting about it. She was doing a talk and signing at Waterstones in…

⚖ Igrain Crest, Duchess of Justice, Lady High Treasurer of Inys

‘I am the heir of Dame Lorain Crest, the Knight of Justice.’ Crest spoke in a measured tone. ‘She who ensured that the great duel of life was conducted fairly, who weighed the cups of guilt and innocence, who punished the unworthy, and who saw to it that the righteous would triumph always over the sinners. She who was most beloved of the Saint, whose legacy I have lived to defend.’
