Hanleigh loves books more than nearly anything in the world; whether its reading them or writing them, Hanleigh just can't get enough. She's read more books than she can count and owns more books than some libraries.

Trust was a liberty that as Kumari, Bae could not afford, especially after the murder of Bae’s mother, the late Kumari.

"Perhaps it will be harder when we're naming our second child."


Only if they are both boys or girls,' Armel thought into her mind. Otherwise, we have two perfectly awesome names.'
