Most of us would marry some would not.Įngland, 1862. ![]() Like pebbles tossed upon the beach, we would scatter, trying to make our way as best as we could. Tomorrow we would dock in Victoria on the northwest coast of North America, about as far away from my home as I could imagine.

I am NOT a demonstrative reader – until now. ![]() Huh? I cry silently, laugh internally and rarely even alter my stoic facial expression when I read. ![]() Until Max Monroe’s Tapping the Billionaire, I had never been asked to read elsewhere because my reading was disturbing someone. ![]() ![]() At the Abhorsen's house, she meets Mogget, and it is only then that she learns that there has been no king in two hundred years.
