Once a skilled young detective with a promising career, Min Jae Hoon was now posing as a private investigator with a forged identity to clear his name after becoming the prime suspect in the murder of his own brother. But when he was working on a strange case and almost died, a mysterious man linked to the case suddenly turned him into a night creature with a thirst for blood without him knowing it. Turns out their encounter that night wasn't just a mere coincidence, as that man happened to be the major figure for Jae Hoon to unveil the truth behind his tragic past and why he was framed as a murderer. Warning for some Graphic Violence scenes.

'A war is coming. And it's going to bite.' What if there were two species of human, and sharing blood was the only way to survive? AI VAN ROSENDAL comes from a long line of powerful EVes. Despite her high blood potential, Ai prefers life beyond the Wall. When her sister goes missing Ai has no choice but to return to the society that destroyed her family, enlisting the help of the one viper she never wanted to lay eyes on, or fall for, ever again. FELIX DE ANGELIS is next-in-line for the throne. With great power comes an unbreakable bond to his entire viper species, day in day out. His only respite is hanging around hybrids - who have no emotions whatsoever and drinking illegally sourced, spirit-laced, blood. And to protect those he loves whatever the cost. COVE LANCE is doing what he does best; surviving. When a girl with odd-coloured eyes destroys the key to his fight for freedom, Cove is caught between coming to her rescue or just saving himself, again. ~ In a dystopian world, two species of human - sapiens and vipers - have evolved to co-exist since the beginning. Divided into those who feed and those who are food; both have advanced to form symbiotic bonds, sharing energy and abilities within blood. Together they form a perfect union, Geminae. But life is not in balance. In a world where duality is everything, three is a crowd: VIPERS - revered as gods and royalty, adapted long ago to harvest blood energy through psychic connection - are slowly dying out. Few SAPIENS have the evolved blood type (EVes), enabling them to share energy with vipers. The demand for high blood potential (hBP) has sky-rocketed, allowing illegal blood hunters to prosper and flourish. HYBRIDS - sterile progeny of both, forced to live outside the technologically advanced cities - continue to threaten blood ties and blood trade between nations. As HELL breaks loose and WAR threatens to erupt, Dark SECRETS and wounded HEARTS collide in a brutal fight for LOVE and SURVIVAL.

Picked for the WattVamps February Showcase & now a Wattpad Dark Fantasy featured story! The Risen Series - Book 1 Rebellion I've been a cardholding member of the undead for centuries, torn away from the sun by a vampire with no care for human life. From the moment I opened my eyes to the night and had my first craving for blood, my Maker twisted and moulded me into exactly what he wanted; trapping me in his hold. Until one day he let me go. Content to live out eternity as no more than a shadow, I do my best to stay out of trouble. But trouble always had a way of finding me. During a hunt, I run into another vampire doing his best to go unnoticed; one so ancient the air around him reeks of power, and he claims he's just escaped imprisonment from the very council that used me to their own ends. Atanas demands I help him until he regains his strength so he can finish what he started a century ago, but I'm not sure that's all he wants from me. And while I'm no supporter of the council he seeks vengeance against, there are secrets that bind my life to theirs, and I know better than most that disloyalty means death. But in the shadows, a rebellion has been brewing, and I might be more important to both sides than I could ever have imagined.

But not everything is as it seems to be: Nicole's boss, Adrian Crawshaw, has a few skeletons in his closet - and those come to bite him in the ass.
