[warning: highly unedited] Her venom spills the blood of hundreds on the streets. Her eyes entrance and her wits coil around her preys. Viciousness is not only dangerous, but it is an art, and with the Black Widow, her art will kill. When rivaling family manors have burned to the ground only one name is whispered through the streets; The Widow. And along with those whispers are promises of rewards so great a sum, that people could bathe in it. However when bodies are piling up by the dozens in the streets, a group find themselves lost in the woods with all the horrors of their dreams creeping up on them like spiders, the Widow strikes.

"They said everything was fine. They said that nobody got hurt. They said that everyone was safe. What they didn’t say was who there. What they didn’t say was who wasn’t. But most importantly, what they didn’t say was what happened there. And why it happened there.” [cover by @weeknder] [campnanowrimo'15]

[coming June 2015] Robin has lived in her mother’s estate since birth, never being able to venture out and understand the world she was born into. Stories of wild beasts and cunning sorcerers kept her from running off just as her brother had. That, and she wasn’t in the most suitable position to be roaming around in public. However when a man is murdered, all the masks must fall off to catch the killer, and in doing so, Robin finds herself at the hands of the officials, her townspeople, and her death. While those who want her head and those who want her burned follow her, Robin is found trapped in what the Guard speaks of as her own curse. Taken away from her family, Robin is out in the open with her masks bared and seen by everyone. Her masks, that without much ado, are her only barriers between life with monsters and life as a monster. [cover by Chocolov3r]
