Today, I’m sharing my favorite quotes from Nobody’s Quest, a fabulous romantasy by Alyssa Day!
The goddess needs a nobody. The prince needs a miracle.
Soli Graymind might be both.

“A courageous enemy is more honored than a cowardly friend.”
“Find a way to pretend your courage is greater than your fear, and soon it will rise to meet the danger and become so.”
“I haven’t had any real friends in my entire life. And I haven’t had a family since I was four years old.” I stop to inhale a deep, shuddering breath. “But you—all of you—have become more than just my companions on this quest. You’re my friends. Even . . . even my family.
Strange how hard it is to break out of a cage whose only bars are in your mind.
