Keres was murdered, and now she walks the mortal world, a specter of wrath tearing through anyone who might be guilty. But when her fury threatens the natural order, the Kismet-guardians of fate-intervene. They dispatch Khol, an immortal enforcer, to curb her rage and guide her to the one death that will set her free. But as Keres stalks shadows from her past, one truth becomes clear: vengeance isn't as simple as naming a killer. The path winds deeper than she imagined-through betrayals, buried memories, and bonds she was never meant to form. Khol was sent to stop her. Now, he's the only one keeping her from falling apart. In a world where the dead can hide and the living aren't always innocent, the line between justice and obsession blurs. As ancient laws falter, Keres must decide what peace is worth-and whether she's willing to burn the afterlife to find it. A story of sacrifice, cosmic grief, and the love that breaks the rules of death itself. Sometimes, the end is just the beginning.

That's the only conclusion Bren can make when a fire destroys everything they own, and his answer is to take a job in the uncivilized Coalition Colonial Region on the other side of the ocean.

----- In serious need of revision! ----- Wanna-be journalist Kate Santoro would do anything for the scoop. Anything. Including finding her way into an underground club exclusive to only those in the Genovese mafia and the beautiful women they employee. What could be more perfect? She would stick to the shadows, snap a few videos, and write the biggest story New York has ever seen, therein making her a legend! Easy as pie. Until she gets found. A series of blatant lies and lucky breaks later and she is mistaken to be one of the workers underneath. While many might be terrified of this predicament Kate couldn't be more excited. The freedom to roam the area and talk to the members of the infamous brotherhood will leave no rock unturned. All she has to do is keep her cover until the night is over and the workers go home. What a fantastic position she is in! There are just two problems. One being him. Alessio. The Don, the Godfather, the Capo di tutti capi (the boss of bosses) who has taken a keen interest in Kate. Even that is something she could probably handle for one night. Except problem number two. They don't leave. Not at the end of the night, the end of the week, or even the end of the month. Alessio's interest in Kate threatens to expose her, something she would surely die from. He knows she doesn't belong but it's not as though she could have just waltzed in, right? By the time Kate realizes that not even the greatest scoop is worth the price, she is in far too deep to call it quits now. ~~~Praise for When The Sun Goes Down~~~ Natasha427: "It was so captivating that I may or may not have spent the last several hours holed up in my room frantically scrolling down to read more.
