THE HAW FLAKE HERO Book Two: Sugar and Shards by T.M. Rale The Haw Flake Hero - Shards and Sugar What begins as a secret gift becomes a shared escape. Bao Tang thought shimmer was his alone-sugar-laced gliding, silent speed, the quiet thrill of slipping past the world. But everything changes when Mei Lin and Ravi discover the truth. Together, the trio learns to wield the shimmer: gliding across rooftop edges, past closing gates, under starlit void decks. For a moment, the world feels open, light, and free. But shimmer doesn't stay secret. Others are watching. Some want in. And not everyone shares the same idea of right and wrong. As the city hums with unseen motion, Bao, Mei Lin, and Ravi must decide what shimmer is for-and who they are becoming in its light.
