In this twist on the Ghost Bird Series, we see Sang Sorenson left on her own at 17 and coming up on her senior year. Her dad finally tells her about a family she never knew existed and that they left her everything in Charleston, South Carolina. This Sang is different from the one we know. She endured her step-mothers punishments her whole life, but instead of becoming scarred of the outside world - she became determined to live. She doesn't want to end up a shut-in like her or afraid of everyone like her half sister Marie. So when her father tells her to leave, she does exactly that. The Blackbourne and Toma teams have been one large team for a year now, ever since Kayli left the Toma team in pieces. They have a new assignment at the worst high-school in Charleston, Ashley Waters. Half the teaching population quit last year and some very shady things have been going down at the school. The team has decided to infiltrate the school as staff and students but what they weren't prepared for in a new blond firecracker who may just be the key to figuring out this assignment but also to their hearts. Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to these characters. They belong to Cl stone and her Ghost Bird and Sacrab Beetle series. This is my first Fan-Fiction, I've also only read some of each series but a ton of fan-fiction. Please be kind. This is an RH HEA with all 14. I'm not sure at the moment how many books will be in the series but for right now it will be at least this one. *Mature Rating because this Sang isn't afraid of life, so be prepared for trigger warnings, sexual content, abuse, a whole lot of cussing, but most of all Love. *Multiple POV - A LOT OF BOY POV. IT'S MY PERSONAL FAVORITE
