History

At the beginning of The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion, Emma does not own any books of her own. This is due to her being forced to sell all her parents' belongings in order to attend school^[1] and because the library of Lapis Lazuli belongs to Archibald Flat, it being the sole inheritance he received from his late wife—Emma's great aunt.^[2] Thus, she is forced to rebuild her library from scratch.
