“How can you forgive so easily?” Megan asked softly. “If Hayrald did not love me, it would be harder. But he does, and that makes up for most things.” Megan”
J.D. Lakey, Black Bead

“Magic was merely the unknown, a wild thing undefined by logic or reason. By that thinking, surely she was not Bad Luck, but Good, undefined.”
J D Lakey, Black Bead

J.D. Lakey, Spider Wars
