Cybil Byrne, a twenty-one year old orphan, has had anything but a normal life. From sleeping within the bellies of Kincaid's desolate alleys, to taking gradient dips into nearby lakes; she thrives off of eerie energies. All her life, she's chosen to swim into the ravenous mouths of her problems and sink into their dark abysses. With her mind on survival, she's ready for anything. Even if that means reliving the fate of her inky past. What happens when Cybil meets a group of supernatural individuals whose desires and demands resemble her own? Will she join them in their hunt for longevity, or will it always be "every man for themselves?" R E V I E W S F R O M R E A D E R S ❝Simply captivating, The characters guide me through this tale of a thousand tales. Each character seems to have their own story and they come together so cohesively. I love it. ❞ - MoraMiAmor ❝Cybil's Song is different from the regular urban books, it opens your eyes though each character and what they went/going through. It's like a T.V. series and I'm waiting for the next episode. ❞ - RedSantana ❝I love the way you write, and how you go into descriptive statistics upon Cybil & the other's relationships. I also love the fact that she nearly acts like me. I love it because it's relatable. ❞ - weirdmami

'Jules' mind went back under the moonlight and night air of Baldwin's Fine Arts Center Garden, where intense anger shifted into an intimate moment of curiosity with a blow of the wind. Maybe two flames weren't supposed to be that close when raging, because in that second between the fury and the furnace, they'd burned into something that held more intensity than the flare in their eyes.' •••••••••••••••••• THEY say that love is a feeling that most should cherish, as it is the closest thing that you'll get to looking inside your soul - but is it worth holding near and dear if it kills you? In a divided city filled with greed, danger, and deceit-two of the biggest kingpins in Amador City would do their very best to protect their children from falling into the depths of their darkest decisions. Yet, what happens when the thing they've been trying to protect them from the most reveals itself in an epic game of love and war? Find out in this epic urban retelling of Shakespeare's famous "Romeo and Juliet."
