Hope MacCaulley survived the night at the Le Domas mansion. Hours later, before anyone can question it, she's taken, pulled into a hidden world of powerful families who deal in blood and ritual. To them, her survival isn't luck. It's a problem. The rules are simple: whoever kills her rises. Titus Danforth plans to be that person. But Hope doesn't break the way she's supposed to, and the more he watches her, the harder it becomes to finish what he started. When her sister Faith is dragged into the same deadly game, Hope is forced to fight again, not just to survive, but to protect the only person she has left.

What if Grace had an identical twin? And what if in that storage closet, Mercy convinces her older sister to switch places? After all, she has been around Titus already. Mercy has long ago made peace with her high functioning depression's side effects, the ones that reduce her ability to experience emotions the way everyone else does. But Titus is set on making her feel the way she makes him. Even if he has to force her.

Titus Danforth is richer than god, with enough power to rival him too, belonging to the esteemed Danforth family of course. Daphne works as the nurse of the Danforth patriarch, and stumbles across a sinister plot held by the unholy son. A compromise is reached, an heir and silence, in exchange for the better care of Daphne's sick mother and monetary freedom. What starts as a marriage of convenience quickly derails into an elaborate plot to destroy each other, neither realising just how compatible they both are.

The Aether. The place where all the positive deities watch over the human realm. Gods and Goddesses roam the clouds and cathedrals day in day out, keeping humans safe from the heavens. The peace is broken when a rouge shinigami throws his notebook onto the human realm and a human with the desire to become a god picks it up. A goddess of love, you decide to check up on the human realm for the first time in years and you see a grave danger in the path of the worlds greatest detective. A little divine intervention can't be that bad can it? After all Shinigami are roaming the human realm, why not balance the scales a little?

Araceli Morales built her life in the shadows-hacking, watching, protecting the Cody family from behind a screen. Control is her safety. Distance is her strength. Until Pope comes back. Fresh out of prison and more dangerous than ever, Pope brings chaos with him-unpredictable, intense, and impossible to ignore. Where others see a threat, Ari sees something different. Something familiar. Something broken. As tension builds and the family spirals deeper into danger, Ari finds herself caught between what she's always known- And what she's starting to feel. Because the closer Pope gets, the harder it becomes to keep her walls up. And when everything starts to fall apart... He might be the one thing she can't protect herself from.

She wasn't born a Cody, but she might as well have been. After her mother died, Janine 'Smurf' Cody took her in and raised her alongside the boys in the Cody house. Growing up surrounded by crime, loyalty, and chaos meant learning the family rules early: trust the Codys, ask no questions, and never betray the family. But as the years pass, the quiet bond she's always shared with Pope begins to change-and in a family like theirs, feelings can be just as dangerous as the jobs they pull.

In Oceanside, loyalty is currency-and betrayal, inevitable. Ariella Russo wasn't born a Cody, but she learned fast how to survive like one. Sharp-minded, smoke-eyed, and scarred by loss, she walks into Pope Cody's life as a court-ordered therapist and stays as the only person who ever truly saw him. Together, they're combustible-lover and lifeline, fury and absolution. In a world of blood-stained deals and buried secrets, Ariella rewrites the rules. She's not here to be saved. She's here to outlive them all. ★ Ain't No Rest for the Wicked - an Animal Kingdom reimagining where conscience collides with crime, and the woman in the lion's den might just wear the crown. ★Slow Updates Srryꨄ︎ TNT's ANIMAL KINGDOM SEASONS 2-6
