Kâmarū Quotes in Children of Virtue and Vengeance
“After the Raid, practicing these incantations was the only part of him I had left.”

As we walk, I think of the other elders and maji, what their lives might’ve been like before the Raid. Mâzeli’s already told me how the monarchy took both his parents away. How his sister Arunima perished from grief.
