Poppy Books Novels & Stories

I laughed, but I just hugged him and then continued my research. I focused on an old book that talked about the first great Poppy War. It had origins, connections, and so on, but it didn't have clear data on the powers involved. That made me frown. Then Emmett realized what I was reading and showed me another book on the subject. “I don't know, I feel like this information is important,” Emmett said. “It might complement what you're looking for.”

Granted, two of the books are historical and about this kingdom, but he might want to know why in the world I am looking at those, and there’s just no reason for me to have to try and explain all of that to him.
