The clock was ticking, measuring time down to the last second. The last heartbeat. The last breath. The last moment I would have on this Earth. It was a slippery slope and I knew when I saw the bottom, that was it. My time was up. When Georgiana Vertigo was given only a handful of years left to live, it was hard to see the possibilities of what the future could bring. With the past locked away in the dark recesses of her mind, Georgiana set off to live the last few years as best as she could. Quicker than any Slayer before her, she worked her way up the ranks of Sword & Arrow to become the Guild's Second in Command. When it comes time for the current Leader to step down and chose a successor, Georgiana is her would-be choice. However, before she can step into the role, she must solve the current case she is working on. A serial killer is murdering prominent members of the Otherworld community and leaving them on display in very public, very human places. It's not the first murder case she's ever worked but there is something different about this one. The simple assignment is soon made difficult when the latest intended victim survives and she's forced to protect him. A task that should be easy, even with the time constraint of solving the case in a week, but it's clear everything will become complicated when she learns who she'll be protecting and who is committing the murders.

My mother always told me when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. When someone knocks you down, you get right back up. You fight the good fight until you have nothing left. You fight with honor, you protect the ones you love, and if you just happen to die in the process, than you do so with dignity and grace. What my mother neglected to tell me during my studies was that you don't always get what you want, the outcome you think is coming doesn't always happen, and when the smoke clears, you're always going to be the last one standing. By the end of The Certainty, Georgiana Vertigo is left with nothing more than her life, something many people would be more than happy to have. However, Georgiana is left to her own devices in a strange city, alone and heartbroken with regular intense bouts of depression. In starting a new life with the Guild, Georgiana has everything she needs in order to move on with her life and keep her mind off the past. Only problem is, the past is never truly forgotten and no matter how hard you try to shake them, the feelings that go along with the memories don't just fade away. ~ * ~ Alright, chickens. You asked for it (some of you at least) and here it is...well...part of it. Like I've told a few of you, this is a work in progress. I add pieces to it when I think of them. The posting on this story will NOT be regular but thankfully for you, I have quite a bit of it done. I just haven't decided if the path I take it down is the right one. So. I hope you enjoy it and I will give you a forewarning that as the story progresses, it gets a bit more adult. For those of us just joining the party because they stumbled across it in the Paranormal category, there is a whole series of books you have to read until you get to this one. Go start with The Beginning. You can find it under "My Works" on my home page.

Aidan looked torn and looked down. I looked over at Michael but he refused to look at me. So I turned to Raphael. "Don't do this to me." "Your road is a lonely one, Daughter. I'm afraid circumstances have forced your hand. It will be painful, I know. But such is life, your life." "You can't take both of them from me," I whispered. "Then I make you a deal in exchange for your promise." He made sure he had my attention before he continued. "One may remain with you until a month after your graduation." My eyes grew wide. "You can't do this." ~ * ~ Decisions. Decisions. Decisions. The Last Book In The Illusion Of Certainty Saga
