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.

The Kumari bloodline had to continue regardless of the cost, even if it was the life of someone she loved.

There were only two things that a Kumari should trust; magic and her seven mates.

With them, she still might not win, but alone she would definitely fail.

"Why do you not think it's someone outside of the entourage?" Armel asked Caspet as soon as Kael left them.


"It might be nothing," Caspet said with a shrug.


"Tell me," Armel commanded with a tone that had Bae giving him a look of censor.


"How much do you know about Prince Hisoka?"


"Not much. Only what the Chief Advisor has told us," Armel replied, his tone less harsh.


"Adelaide probably isn't aware of this though. It happened after she returned to Shiro."


Armel was never one for showing patience but he did his best to hide his annoyance at how slowly Caspet was telling his story.


"Shortly after she left, Hisoka's parents were killed in their beds. The culprits were never caught but rumour has it that Nunsmen came in during the night to slaughter his family."


Armel blinked several times as his mind tried to make sense of what he was hearing.


"So, you think he is responsible?" Bae whispered.


"I don't know, it's just a possibility."
