Quote from Shadow Healer in front of glowy forest image: “I like the river,” I say. Staying close to her is the culmination of every dream I’ve had since I left Fernglen at twelve and every nightmare I had since learning she’d married. I don’t want to hurry us, and I don’t want to replace her husband. I want to be the one to win her heart. “But I’ll see you in your dreams. If you let me.”
She looks at me with those big brown eyes, flecked with gold and amber and a constellation of her brightest hopes. ‘Always.’ ” —Gareth
