This book has wrapped. The end. Now to get proofing. 😀
I’d won independence from my past. Severed the only tie I’d ever wanted, to the only male I’d ever loved. I curled tight, rocked against the frigid planks. I couldn’t move. Minutes passed. I counted them by the frantic thump in my ears. Strange how steady my heart beat long after it was broken.

Hailey writes about questionable applications of otherwise perfectly good magic, the transformative power of love, the family you choose for yourself, and blowing stuff up. Not necessarily all at once. That could get messy.
