📘 The Silent Operative - Book Description In the shadowed streets of London, secrets don't stay buried, and silence can kill. When twenty-three-year-old hacker Nora Reyes stumbles across an encrypted transmission meant for government eyes only, she becomes the target of a deadly agency that erases threats without a trace. Her only chance at survival? Damien Vale, rogue intelligence officer with a haunted past and a target on his own back. Once part of the system, Damien knows how deep the corruption runs- and how far "they" will go to protect it. Thrust into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, Nora and Damien must unravel a conspiracy that could topple governments... if it doesn't kill them first. But as they're pulled deeper into the shadows, trust becomes a rare currency-and feelings become dangerous. Because in a world built on lies, the only way out might be betrayal. Enemies are everywhere. The silence is deafening. And someone wants them gone-permanently. "He was trained to eliminate threats. She just became his reason to fight back." 🔥

| | Wattys 2025 Shortlist | | Iris is the oldest of a group of orphans, working hard and without complaint to help bring in money to feed and clothe the younger children. Everybody knows and loves her. She wants nothing more than a normal, safe life―but war looms on the horizon, threatening her plans. Char is a dragon and a certified troublemaker. He and his brother are a pain in their commanding officer's side and a favorite at parties, especially among the girls. But when Char's familiarity with humans earns him a routine scouting mission, he meets Iris―and finds more trouble than he ever expected. She's suddenly at the center of a war, shackled with a magical amulet she doesn't understand and can't control. He's too impulsive to stay out of the tangled web tightening around her, even if that means lying to his brother and risking his life to keep her out of the hands of a psychotic mage. Nowhere is safe. Nothing is normal. And Iris may hold the power to end the war and save them all. ***** A Song and a Storm: Book One

As more secrets begin to surface, she starts questioning everything and everyone she thought she knew, deciding to take matters into her own hands.

The stakes have never been higher: is Grace ready to face what's coming?

Find out with The Trio Squad which includes the three girls: Melissa, the Shape Shifter; Helena, the Invisible; and Stephanie, the Teleporter. (By the way,, I suck at description. This is my first time writing a whole story... And that too a horrible story... There might be many errors and mistakes. Tolerate my story writing, grammar and etc... And please point out my mistakes for me.) And thanks for visiting my story I wrote ages ago. When I was still young. *cringe* Do give your votes and comments, if you like it. Hope you enjoy reading! 🤩 Criticisms are warmly welcome. 😄 😝 So that I can improve my writing... [I had written this story when seventeen. And now I'm in my twenties. Going back and reading and typing it in definitely feels cringe-y but since it's it's my first full work, I can't get rid of it or not publish it. Sowieeee!!] Thank you soooooooo much for coming here!...💖💖💖💖💖💖
