The crown is in the heart, and the heart do not change ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
I've always loved massive worlds, whether in fantasy or science fiction. I like the idea of making my own rules as well as utilizing everything that I love or inspires me. It's very freeing to know you can write a story that can be as big as your own imagination. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
They beg to a Silver king, and spit upon Red queens. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
I-I don't think you're stupid. "That might be the nicest thing you ever said to me. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
We are nothing more than distractions for each other, and distractions get you killed. But my hands close over his, our fingers lacing, until our bones are woven together. The fire is dying, flames reduced to embers. But Cal is still here. He will never leave me. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
And his eyes are worst of all. Her eyes, Elara's eyes. Once I thought them cold, made of living ice. Now I know better. The hottest fires burn blue, and his eyes are no exception. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
So you choose him?'
'Cal betrayed me, and I betrayed him. And you betrayed us both, in a thousand different ways.' The words are heavy as stone but right. So right. 'I choose no one. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
You've been through a lot, I know that. We all know that. What you had to do to stay alive with them, all while helping us, finding out what you are, I don't know how you came out on the other side. But it changed you. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
And you still hold on to Maven, a person who doesn't exist."

He might as well put a hand around my throat and squeeze. "You looked through my things?"

"I'm not blind. I watched you take the notes off the bodies. I thought you'd rip them up. But when you didn't - I suppose I wanted to see what you were going to do. Burn them, throw them away, send them back dipped in Silver blood - but not keep them. Not read them while I slept next to you. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
King Maven of House Calore meets my gaze the moment he knows I'm here....The instant hangs, suspended on a thread of time. A canyon of distractions yawns between us, filled with so much noise and graceful chaos, but the room might as well be empty. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Once, I was afraid of these walls, frightened by such beauty. But I see the cracks now. It's like the day of the bombing, when I realized Silvers were not invincible. Then it was an explosion - now a few bullets have shattered diamondglass, revealing fear and paranoia beneath. Silvers fleeing from Reds - lions running from mice. The king and queen oppose each other, the court has their own alliances, and Cal - the perfect prince, the good soldier - is a torturous, terrible enemy. Anyone can betray anyone. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
I definitely have the screenwriting itch. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
At the back of the room, the exiled prince gets to his feet. He holds my gaze, as if his eyes alone could set me on fire. A waste. There is nothing in me left to burn. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Under her breath, I hear her whisper something to herself.
"As you enter, you pray to leave. as you leave, you pray never to return."
Even though no one is listening, I pray too. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
How does it feel to be used Mare Borrow? ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Over his shoulder, Evangeline prowls like a predatory cat, a glittering storm of knives at her fist. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
The guard won't stop. And while they are certainly to blame, you are as well. There is blood on your hards, Prince. And Maven's. And mine. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Mareena is impressed, but she keeps her emotions in check. She is cold and unfeeling. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
I will not be a red queen ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
The only person in my head is me.
Tibe is not the same. The crown has changed him, as you feared it would.
The fire is in him, the fire that will burn all the world.
And it is in your son, in the prince who will never change his blood and will never sit a throne.
The only person in my head is me.
The only person who has not changed is you. You are still the little girl in a dusty room, forgotten, unwanted, out of place. You are the queen of everything, mother to a beautiful son, wife to a king who loves you, and still you cannot find it in yourself to smile.
Still you make nothing.
Still you are empty.
The only person in your head is you.
And she is no one of any importance.
She is nothing ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
'Jurassic Park' and 'Star Wars' shoved me into loving sci-fi and film in general when I was a barely coherent 3-year-old. And 'Lord of the Rings' took me to another planet entirely. Before that series, I knew I loved writing, but after, I knew that I had to write. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
I start out giving characters archetypes and parameters. Once I know the basics and have a rudimentary model, it's easier to carve unique curves and edges. It's quite easy to guess how a character is going to react if you know their background, and at a certain point, you realize you understand them personally. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
I am only human, and humans are not supposed to deal with days like today ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Love is not a word we use. We feel it, we mean it, but we don't say it. It feels so final, a declaration from which there is no easy return. I'm a thief. I know my exits. And I was a prisoner. I hate locked doors. But his eyes are so close, so eager. And it's what I feel. Even though the words terrify me, they are the truth. Didn't I say I would start telling the truth? ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
The person she loved is dead, stolen by someone else. Mine chose to walk away. Chose everything I hate over everything I am. I wonder which hurts more. Before ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
we're thieves, we're rats. We know when to fight and when to run. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
This started when I fell into the Spiral Garden, a body made of sparks, and now it ends at the Bowl of Bones. I'll leave as a corpse. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
I've done this a thousand times before, watching the crowd like a wolf does a flock of sheep. Looking for the weak, the slow, the foolish. Only now, I am very much the prey. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
But Maven is not Cal, no matter how much his father might want him to be. He isn't a soldier, he won't be a king, but he's braver. And he's willing to do what's right. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Those who know what it's like in the dark will do anything to stay in the light. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
There are worse lives to live. Don't feel sorry for me. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
It would hurt him deeply, wound him forever, if I let him glimpse what little is left of me. That I'm still here, in some forgotten corner, just waiting to be found. I could ruin him in one glance, one echo of the brother he remembers. Or I could free him of me. Make the choice for him. Give my brother one last proof of the love I can no longer feel, even if he knows it. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Every inch of my writing career has been influenced by my screenwriting education. I was lucky enough to go to film school at USC, and I got a crash course in how to tell a story efficiently. I learned structure, pace, my style, how to know your audience, and most importantly, how to take criticism and edits properly. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
I see a world on the edge of a blade. Without balance, it will fall. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
I used to think there was only the divide, Silver and Red, rich and poor, kings and slaves. But there's much more in between, things I don't understand, and I'm right in the middle of it. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Who would I have chosen? If none of this had happened, if Kilorn's master never died, if Gisa's hand was never broken, if nothing ever changed. If. It's the worst word in the world. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
The dawn is coming for you all. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
If only no one had to fight at all." He shakes his head.
"It does no good to dream. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Would you do it again?" The words sting sharply. "Would you risk me for your terrorist friends again?" I would. I don't say it out loud, but Lucas sees my answer in my eyes. "I kept your secret."
It's worse than any insult he could throw at me. The knowledge that he protected me, even though I didn't deserve it, gnaws at my core.
"But now I know you're not different, not anymore," he continues, almost spitting. "You're the same as all the rest. Heartless, selfish, cold - just like us. They taught you well. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
World-building is my favorite pastime, so with me, I'm always about reining myself in. I don't want to lose too much of the mystery by hammering every detail to death. I did fiddle with lots of maps for 'Glass Sword,' as the second installment sees Mare, Cal and company traveling throughout their country, and that's always fun for me. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
There are worse things than pain, Miss Barrow, ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
In what life can I trust anything out of your mouth ever again? ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
But she did not dwell on such thoughts long. She never did.
This is the way of the world. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
If the Reds see her, a Silver by blood but Red by nature, raised up with us, they can be placated. It's like an old fairy tale, a commoner becoming the princess. She's their champion. They can look to her instead of terrorists." And then, softer, but more important than anything else: "She's a distraction. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
When I was Mare Barrow of the Stilts, I thought the same way. I wondered what would happen if I survived conscription, and saw what that future held. A friendly marriage to the fish boy with green eyes, children we could love, a poor stilt home. It seemed like a dream back then, an impossibility. And it still is. It always will be. I do not love Kilorn, not the way he wants me to. I never will. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
You could have been my red queen. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Action set pieces are my absolute favorite thing to write. I'm pretty much always in the mood to do them, but music certainly helps the process. I usually brainstorm out the dynamics and choreography of a fight to music beforehand - it gives me the little sparks of imagination when I get to the gaps in my own creativity. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Strange that she is both the anchor against the storm and the storm itself. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
My darkness will save them. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
The only person in my head is me. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
He told me once it was cruel to give hope where none should be. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
It's our nature. We destroy. It's the constant of our kind. No matter the color of blood, man will always fall. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Her golden hair catches the moonlight. For a second, she seems to wear a sparkling crown. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
I fear being alone more than anything else. So why do I do this? Why do I push away the people I love? What is so very wrong with me?
I don't know.
And I don't know how to make it stop. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Her grip is strong as she shakes my hand; for once someone isn't afraid I'll break like glass.
"Every happiness to you, Lady Mareena. I can see this one suits you." She jerks her head toward
Maven. "Not like fancy Samos," she adds in a playful whisper. "She'll make a sad queen, and you a
happy princess, mark my words."
"Marked, ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Look through people," I tell her, my voice muffled by the helmet. "Smile without kindness. No small talk, no court talk. Act as if you have a million secrets, and you're the only one important enough to know them all."
She nods, taking this all in stride. After all, Cal and I have both instructed her on how to pass as Maven. This is merely a reminder, a last glance at the book before the test. "I'm not a fool," she replies coldly, and I almost punch her in the jaw. She is not Maven rings in my head, louder than a bell.
"I think you've got it," Kilorn says as he stands. He grabs my arm, pulling me slightly away. "Mare nearly killed you. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Shade appears behind her, solidifying out of thin air, and wraps her up in an expert military hold. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
My ignorance is becoming a theme." --Mare Barrow ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Cal and Maven are deadly creatures, soldiers. But their battle isn't just on the lines. It's here, in a palace, on the broadcasts, in the heart of every person they rule. They will rule, not just by right of a crown, but by might. Strength and power. It's all the Silvers respect, and it's all it takes to keep the rest of us slaves. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
I'd rather a black eye than a puzzle. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
I will not lose who I am, even if it kills me. "Now, ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
we're reduced to our bones, to two teenagers grumbling in a cage. I ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Now I'm in a king's cage. But so is he. My chains are Silent Stone. His is the crown. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
She looks like hell in a
party dress, her jewelry mangled and
teeth on edge. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
I'm safer than I've been in days, surrounded by the people I love most, and yet I've never wanted to cry more. For them, I hold back. I curl inward and bleed alone, inside, where no one else can see. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Mare of the Stilts died the day she fell onto a lightning shield. Mareena, the lost Silver princess, died in the Bowl of Bones. And I don't know what new person opened her eyes on the Undertrain. I only know what she has been and what she has lost, and the weight of it is almost crushing. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
But Maven isn't finished. He takes a step, not forward but to the side. In my direction. The full force of his gaze almost knocks me out of my seat. "And I want to die the way my mother did," he says plainly, as if asking for an extra blanket.
Again I feel too stunned to think. All I can do is keep my jaw locked in place so my mouth won't gape open in shock.
"Ripped apart by your fury," he pushes on, his eyes horrible, unforgettable, searing into me. The brand on my collarboen seems to burn. "And your hatred. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Wish him a happy birthday for me. And assure him it will be his last. But yours is coming, isn't it? I don't doubt we'll spend it together. Until we meet again, Maven ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
I suppose he doesn't know where he stands anymore. Not a rebel, not a prince, not sure of anything except the fire in his bones. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
I could set the world on fire, and call it rain. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Cal and I stare after her, then at the walls, then at the floor, then at our feet, afraid to look at each other. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Glad? You're jealous, plain and simple. You're not used to sharing. And you don't like being useless. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
It's to bad we didn't stay longer", I murmur, looking out at the river. "I would have liked to die close to home. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Their Silver war is being paid for in Red blood. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
I am different from what my world demands I be. And I am not worse for it. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
I was never yours, and you were never mine, Maven. And not because of him, either. I thought you were perfect, I thought you were strong and brave and good. I thought you were better than him."
Better than Cal. Those are words Maven thought no one would ever say. He flinches, and for a second, I can see the boy I used to know. A boy that doesn't exist anymore. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
He leans forward slightly, lips pulling back against his even, white teeth. It's so aggressive and animalistic I expect to see fangs. "I am your rightful king, Silver-born for centuries," he replies, seething. "The only reason you're still breathing is because I can't burn the oxygen from this room. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
The game will be over. And everyone I love will have lost. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
You want me to pin my entire operation, the entire revolution on some teenaged love story? I can't believe this. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
I am finally learning my lesson. Anyone can betray anyone. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
The crushing weight of silence hangs heavy as always. For a moment it's too difficult to breathe, and I wonder if this is how I die. Drowned in this bed of silk, burned by a king's obsession, smothered by open air. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
They trained me for this. It's their own fault. They helped make their own doom. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Etiquette be damned. Those are mine. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Sunset angles through the heavy curtains, drawn against the light. Dust motes dance in the red beams, ash above a dying fire. I feel like I am inside a heart, surrounded by bloody red. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Cal: Thief!
mare: WELL OBVIOUSLY ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
But like my brother, I too have a crutch. Mine is not metal. It is flesh and fire and bronze eyes. If only I could cast him away. If only I was strong enough to let the prince go and do what he would with his vengeance. To die or live as he saw fit. But I need him. And I can't find the strength to let him go. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
I hope Maven will see what we are, what we can do, and know he cannot win. Even he is not a fool. Even he knows when he is beaten. At least, I hope he does. Because as far as I can tell, Maven has never been defeated. Not when it really counts. Cal won their father, his soldiers, but Maven won the crown. Maven won every battle that truly mattered. And given time... he would've won me too. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
I am not a general or a tactician, but her reasoning is clear. I am the little lightning girl - living electricity, a lightning bolt in human form. People know my name, my face, and my abilities. I am valuable, I am powerful, and Maven will do anything to stop me from striking back. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
It's nice to hear that I'm not completely alone in feeling out of place."
"That's something you should know about us Silvers. We're always alone. In here, and here," he says, pointing between his head and his heart.
"It keeps you strong. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
She was happy, yes, in her own way, as best as she knew.
But there's a difference between a single candle in darkness and a sunrise. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Not a god's chosen, but a god's cursed. That's what we all are. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
I know life all too well. But I turned from that path. I'm not a rat anymore. I'm the lightning girl, and now I have too many ideas to count. Freedom, revenge, liberty, everything that fuels the sparks within me, and the resolve that keeps me going. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
And some will believe. The fools. But others will not. Red and Silver, high and low, some will see the truth. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Victoria Aveyard quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Mare, don't be such a brat all the time, and stop beating up that Warren boy. ~ Victoria Aveyard
