The sparkle faded from Leahs eyes. It had been difficult to successfully eradicate the slave trade, and now counterfeit coins were being manufactured.

Pulling out a fresh sheet of paper, Leah wrote a letter to Count Valtein, offering her observations about the counterfeit coins, and also asking him to investigate the man she had met in the bookstore.

The boy could not be judged by normal human standards. Leah bent to congratulate the little Kurkan on his first successful hunt.
