During 40 years, they had amassed more than a billion pages in manila files detailing the lives of their citizens.

I made a deal with the devil. Okay, so he’s not really the devil, but he may as well be. The Tribe King is gorgeous, arrogant, and devious.

He may be calculating and autocratic, but he’s slowly slipping under my defenses and making me doubt everything I thought I knew.
