The war is over, the White Star (Radish) is dead for good, and the God of Despair has been resealed, but Cale's ever so elusive Slacker Life is still out of reach with the looming threat of the Hunters. The God of Death, knowing that he is at least partially responsible for the chaos that has been Cale's life so far, decides to give him a gift (besides the ones he already originally planned to give him), the gift of truth. Not for Cale, but for those he cares for. He will take the burden of secrets from Cale's shoulders, if only to lighten the heavy load he tries to carry on his own. Or Cale's loved ones, friends, and allies across multiple worlds are summoned to read his story (legend). Trash of the Count's Family is not mine and all credit for the original novel go to its wonderful author, Yoo Ryeo Han. Credit for the novel translation I am using goes to the wonderful translators of the EAP website. I will write the character names like this so you can tell them apart: Earth 1- Name Earth 2- Name* TBoaH- Name* Indignity Test- Name^ TCF- Name Timelines for the different worlds involved are: Earth 1 (group 1)- a few months after the original Kim Rok Soo and original Cale swapped Earth 2 (group 2)- shortly after the cintamani stopped working TBoaH (group 3)- a little more than a year before the start of the war Indignity Test (group 4)- a few months after Cale left that world TCF (group 5)- right after Cale got slapped by the God of Death's book

Kaleb has recently turned nineteen still anticipating the arrival of his mate. Much to his surprise the omega happens upon a giant sleeping male tiger in the woods. Zev, a twenty four year old marauding tiger was enjoying his life of solitude until a certain adorable omega stumbles into his perfect life of leisure.

**FORMERLY THE ALPHA'S BETA** Josh is turning 18, and with that milestone comes the possibility of finding his mate. Temperamental and, more often than not, the cause of his own problems, the only person who truly understands him is Darren. As his soon to be Alpha, it only makes sense that the two are so close. What doesn't make any sense is the sudden attraction to someone he's seen as a friend his whole life. Darren is the next Alpha, juggling an unruly beta and the weight of his own inheritance. At 19, life seemed to be going just fine for him until his Beta disappears right when bodies start showing up. Together, they must come to terms with being more than just Alpha and Beta and protect their pack from one of the biggest threats in its history.

I guess they never miss, huh? Shen Qingqiu and Shang Qinghua are meme-deprived millennials in an ancient cultivation world in which memes don't exist, so of course, that's going to change. Is anyone even surprised at this point? Or: Shen Qingqiu is suffering, Shang Qinghua is a dumbass and Luo Binghe and Mobei-Jun are confused

Camilo Carter is The Doctor of East Hadena, one of the deadliest serial killers the city has ever seen. He's excellent at what he does, with no signs of getting caught any time soon. He thinks he has it all figured out, sees himself as almost bulletproof. He's never slipped up, never come remotely close. Camilo is untouchable. That is, until the really hot lead investigator of his case moves in across the hall. ~ "Perfect," he tells me, tone low. My heart practically stops beating in my chest. "I meant you're perfect." Decari doesn't know. He has no idea how untrue that is, how far off. He doesn't know, and he can't know. He can't ever fucking find out! He just can't, and I'm terrified that if I let this continue any longer... I'll get too comfortable. Too secure. I can never allow myself to doubt his loyalty to the law. If I'm to give in, I need to promise myself that. I take a step forward, and we're so close like this that I can feel the heat of his body. I finally move my gaze up to his eyes, which look a lot darker like this. He is entirely focused on me, and I don't think he even realizes he does it, but his hand drops from my face and finds its way to my hip a moment later. The world seems to disappear as I look into his eyes, deciding to warn him one last time. "You'll change your mind." ~ [WARNINNGS: definitely blood and gore etc since the book is about a serial killer, there will also be heavy topics like abuse and sexual assault, not graphic. also smut of course]
