"The Blessing of the Discerning Heart," Uriel said in a low tone. "She will know by instinct who deserves her trust and who does not. Lies and deception will appear as clear as day to her, no matter how skillful the deceiver."
Arianna's eyes widened as she looked down at her daughter. "That's… that's an incredible gift."
