Henry has lived with her father all of her life. He is all she knows, but after he is murdered, the only people she has to turn to are her estranged uncles and her seemingly kind, yet secretive grandmother. The only thing she knows for certain is that there was a good reason her father stayed away for so long. With uncles who silence themselves every time she enters the room and a grandmother who seems a little too close to her sons, Henry will have to learn how to maneuver her way around the cesspool of relatives she has adopted as she goes into the badlands.

"Don't worry Henrietta. Everything will be okay. You're home." His smile was radiant, his eyes made my heart skip a beat
"This isn't my home." My voice was small.
"We are your home now. You are a Quest. The Quest's have been on this land for a long time. Now that you're here, that will continue." Valentine said, crossing his arms over his broad chest.
"You're not a Quest." I said, looking up into my uncle's eyes.
"No, no I'm not." he smiled and then drove off, taking with him the little security I felt.

Falling for the Kingpin
"Just give me a second, please," I whispered. He stopped. For a heartbeat, I thought maybe-just maybe-he'd turn back. Instead, his voice came, quiet but cruel. "A second? Why? Was four months not enough?" The words hit harder than any scream could have. "You don't understand," I said, but it wasnt a sound. More like a whisper. He spun around so fast it made me flinch. Now we were face-to-face, his breath uneven, eyes wild and shining. I could see the storm inside him, the tears he refused to let fall. "Don't understand what, Elaina?" he said. "Help me here. What don't I understand?" My throat tightened. The words wouldn't come. The truth was right there, pounding in my chest, begging to get out-but all that escaped was a trembling, "I..."
