Left with nothing but a broken heart, an impossible family to deal with, and tons of childhood trauma, Elena began her transition into the evil queen everyone around her knew her as.
But then she meets Dante, a mafia she was meant to represent in court who was on trial for murder. She wanted to keep her sanity, to lie to herself that she did not feel an intense attraction for him. But by the time she realized she was hopelessly in love with him, it was already too late.
The ice queen had become still waters…

But will he be able to serve as the comfort she desperately desired, or will he end up breaking her like the rest of the people in her life?
Part 3: Best Quotations from When Heroes Fall by Giana Darling
1:
“This is what you must understand, Elena. They are wrong. Women bear the trials of their men, the delivery of their babies, and the weight of their families. Women are extraordinarily strong. So, you must trick the men into giving you power.
Do not tell them you are strong and do not fight them with words because words can be undone. Fight the injustice with action, lottatrice mia, because the action can be understood in any language, by any man.”
2:
“My therapist told me there was a name for what I had, that furious drive for perfection that had marked my entire life. Kodawari, is the Japanese word for the relentless pursuit of perfection. I didn’t so much want to be perfectwhich I was aware enough to know was an impossibility as I wanted to seem perfect.”
3:
You know, it is the contrast between two opposites that heightens them both to keener glory. You shouldn’t be afraid to be coarse, just as I shouldn’t be afraid to be gentle. Too much of one thing is boring, Elena.
4:
“you are just a girl in a very large world that owes you nothing. Not one thing in your life will come easy. This is the way of girlhood in Napoli. I wish it was not so. I wish I could have given you a better start, but understand, every woman must be a fighter, Elena because history has tricked men into thinking women are less.”
5:
“But I cried then, and I discovered just how many types of tears there were. Angry tears, so salty they burned my hot cheeks.
Wallowing tears, the kind that seeped into my mouth and made me nauseous as if I’d swallowed too much seawater. I lonely tears as I realized how few people I had in my corner, how few loved ones I could call my own. As I realized much of that solitariness was my fault because I’d pushed so many people away out of fear of being hurt.”
