Private investigator and necromancer Lawrick Stryker takes on cases for money with no attachments or feelings involved...until he meets Alvis Sullivan, the girl he is willing to save from a rogue soul no matter what it takes. *** After taking over a private investigator business, Lawrick Stryker makes a name for himself in the city of Creos. His cases have a hundred percent success rate, but solving them comes with a hefty price. Clients pay no matter the cost, and Lawrick makes the most of it, for he can find anyone here and in the afterlife. He usually dissociates himself from his clients, but when he meets company heiress Alvis Sullivan, all hell breaks loose. Now interested in the correlation of Alvis to the recent deaths in Creos, Lawrick decides to make a move. Can Lawrick solve this case and catch the rogue soul wreaking havoc in Creos before it's too late? Disclaimer: This story is written in Taglish, a combination of Tagalog & English.

Born with glowing green eyes. Destined for rotten luck. Peasant girl Meya Hild was 'given' the opportunity to become a Lady. At swordpoint. By mercenaries. Engaged to a dying nobleman. Poisoned with one month to live. Tasked to loot a castle. In a kingdom running out of resources. Little did Meya know this shenanigan would lead her across land and over sea, from a mountain made of sapphire to an island shrouded in spiral clouds, with masquerades, heists, kidnappings, shipwrecks, alchemy, romance, and an unexpected 'bump' along the way. Let the misery begin. 🐉 🎯 PROGRESS: Book One (Chpt. 1 - 65): 100% Book Two (Chpt. 66 - 125): 100% Bingers, YOUR TIME HAS COMETH.
