Whether you are allowed to live or not is decided every three years. Such is the fate of a Res Conservata. As in a world governed by the Natural Order, every life has its place and deviations may not exist. The High Convent watches over this order and investigates possible anomalys that show up in a certain blood-lineage. Reshi grows up under the shadow of such a suspicion. For now, nothing has happened. For now, Reshi is only a possibility - a case to be examined. But some questions cannot remain contained forever. *** This is a translation from my originally in german written text (not published). The content of the texts is the same, but this version has been adapted for digital reading. The chapter structure, number of chapters, and overall length will differ from what may eventually become one day a book.

This is a collection of scenes, character sketches, chapters and short stories which did not make itinto the Quade series. Some of them will eventually disappear into a book. Some of them already have. There are trigger warnings on some chapters, so please heed them when you find one. A couple of the chapters are brutal, and pertain to victimization and abuse as a long term victim of kidnapping. Enjoy.

Alyana Klah is an investigator and prosecutor for the Department of Justice. Her focus is missing indigenous women and children. The stakes are high when she meets Chayton Adakai during a long term assignment just outside the Navajo reserve in Nevada. As they discover they are both after the same objective, can they survive the trauma of the case they are wroking to buld something they can both hang on to? Will love be strong enough to heal them or will work tear them apart? My fabulous cover is by @introvertvert on Inkitt. Thank you so much.
