Thought I'd share an excerpt from Chapter 19 of #CrowOfTheArdentDawn. Things are heating up in the desert city of Qimra!

Screenshot of a text excerpt. The text reads as follows: "And that, as they say, is that. I was so busy with my studies, both in Abaddon and in Kahlane with Granny, that I had no time for other lovers until you and I met. So I don't want to hear any more of you thinking of yourself as a compromise. If you know me at all, you will know that above all else, I get what I want, and what I want is the intelligent, caring, honest, and beautiful young woman to whom I have pledged my undying affections." The doubts in Cassie's heart did not fully melt away, but she felt them sputter and die down within herself. If she wanted to be more confident in herself, she'd have to take charge of such a change herself. Still, she had one last cheeky question, which she asked with a smile on her face. "So… would you love me more if I was an incorrigible rebel?" Gwynne deftly slid her hand around Cassie's lower back and pulled her close. "Why? Is that something you want for yourself?" Cassie, excited from the bodily contact, gave a mischievous look. "I suppose I could be open to… breaking proper decorum every now and then, if it pleases you, my lady."
