“And Ronan was everything that was left: molten eyes and a smile made for war.”

Kneeling in the middle of the pentagram, digging his fingers into the soft, mossy turf, Adam said, “I sacrifice myself.”
Thank goodness we were tied together, Blue thought. Ronan’s arms were still locked around her; she felt them quivering. She didn’t know if it was from muscle strain or worry. He had not even hesitated before grabbing her. I can’t let myself forget that.
At night, Henrietta felt like magic, and at night, magic felt like it might be a terrible thing.

He leaned across the gearshift toward her, pressing fingers to the place her collarbone was exposed. His breath was hot on her neck. Gansey, she warned, but she felt unstable and dangerous. I just want to pretend, Gansey said, the words misting on her skin. I want to pretend that I could. The Blue in the vision closed her eyes. Maybe it wouldn’t hurt if I kiss you, he said. Maybe it’s only if you kiss me—
It’ll be okay, Gansey told the other Blue. She could tell that he was afraid. It’ll be okay. Impossibly, Blue realized that this other Blue was crying because she loved Gansey. And that the reason Gansey touched her like that, his fingers so careful with her, was because he knew that her kiss could kill him. She could feel how badly the other Blue wanted to kiss him, even as she dreaded it. Okay. I’m ready—Gansey’s voice caught, just a little. Blue, kiss me.

Leylines: The Raven Cycle
Henrietta has rivers of magic surging beneath its dusty earth, and there are whispering forests that drink from its depths. Their leaves sing in Latin. Five souls are tied in its tangled streams, and they create their own currents– pulled not by any moon but by blood and death and dream. It’s a place where kings sleep; where dreams wake; where boys are made of shadow, girls of mirror; and destiny hangs heavy like a sword of Damocles over everything. (Blue doesn’t mind. She’s got her raven boys to worry about– and a door that shouldn’t be opened has knocks coming from the other side.)
Blue was destined to kill her true love with a kiss.
That’s all there is.
Blue was perfectly aware that it was possible to have a friendship that wasn’t all-encompassing, that wasn’t blinding, deafening, maddening, quickening. It was just that now that she’d had this kind, she didn’t want the other.
“Did you get notes for me?“ “No,” Ronan replied,“I thought you were dead in a ditch.”

“At night, Henrietta felt like magic, and at night, magic felt like it might be a terrible thing.”
Gansey was made of red thread. Lead by it, to Glendower, to Henrietta, to Blue.

Adam doesn’t know how long he was out of his body. Judging from the look on Ronan’s face, he was gone longer than he’d meant to be.
“While I’m gone,“ Gansey said, pausing, “dream me the world. Something new for every night.”
