About the Book

THE HAW FLAKE HERO Book Three: Sugar That Stayed by T.M. Rale 📘 The Haw Flake Hero – Sugar That Stayed Not all sweetness fades. Some powers linger, even when they were never meant to stay. Bao Tang, Mei Lin, and Ravi have kept shimmer out of the spotlight—until a strange trail of discarded snacks, unstable candy batches, and a man fighting to raise his daughter leads them to a deeper truth: shimmer isn't gone. It's spreading. Quietly. Stickily. But the real threat isn’t magic—it’s what happens when no one takes responsibility. As the trio works to uncover the origin of the contamination, they find themselves helping an unlikely figure: Wen Kai Beng, a man cursed not by choice, but by careless disposal. Alongside Uncle Qian, the trio faces cascading consequences, viral secrets, and a choice between walking away… or staying for the ones no one else will. Perfect for fans of A Monster Calls and City of Ghosts, Sugar That Stayed is the haunting, heartfelt conclusion to The Haw Flake Hero trilogy—a story about moral residue, unswept corners, and sweetness that survives.
