❝ You may not like the answers you find on this journey of blood. ❞ A street rat. A rebel. A girl broken into so many pieces she doesn't know which parts to pick up. Azura had two wishes; to find answers and seek vengeance. But if she's learnt anything in her life, it's that not everyone gets what they want, nor what they deserve. With her allies scattered and the serrated blade of betrayal stuck between her ribs, she battles both the darkness within her and around her. But she still has questions that need answers. On the run, injured, and tormented by the ghosts of her past, Azura will go on a journey across Rupteran, seeing the war-torn landscape with new eyes after the things she's learned, in search of one answer in particular; who is she? The answer may not be the one she's hoping for. ༛༛ ༛ ༛༺༻༛ ༛ ༛༛ ➳ Sequel to 'Flame in the Veins' ➳ Cannot be read as a stand-alone ➳ Slow updates ➳ Amazing cover designed by @-wanderes

❝ Pain was my fuel, until the fire began bleeding from my veins. ❞ The girl without a name. The black-haired fiend devoid of fear. The sharp-tongued scoundrel always ready with a trick up her sleeve. Thief and street rat Azura knows how to hustle a man better than she knows how to read. Some skills are far more important than others in the dog-eat-dog world she survives in. She knows Rupteran will only play nice when the Sharlik Empire keels over and dies, which isn't going to be anytime soon with the piss-poor job the rebellion is doing. But when a robbery that could turn her life around goes sour, Azura's sharp wit and blackened heart will be tested. One should be wary before cornering a wounded animal, and that's exactly how the rebellion finds Azura. With her bloody teeth bared and her hackles risen, Azura is ready to bite off the hand they offer her. But some deals are just too alluring to pass up. ༛༛ ༛ ༛༺༻༛ ༛ ༛༛ ➳ Complete! ➳ Amazing cover designed by @-wanderes ➳ Constructive criticism is welcome and appreciated ༛༛ ༛ ༛༺༻༛ ༛ ༛༛ ➳ Featured in @WattpadDarkFantasy's 'A Kingdom In Shadows' reading list ➳ Featured in @WattpadStars 'Fantasy' reading list ➳ Featured in @WattpadHornsandHalos 'Nephilim Stories' reading list ➳ Featured in @StoriesUndiscovered 'Explore The Stars' reading list ➳ Featured in @antiheroesgalore's 'Monstrously Fantastic' reading list ➳ Featured in @mythandlegend's 'Legendary Creatures and Hybrids' reading list ➳ 'Best Leading Character' in The 2020 Sinne Awards ➳ 'Book To TV Potential' in The 2020 Sinne Awards [[word count: 70,000 - 80,000]]

Jas gives me a sympathetic look. She sighs heavily, long nails tapping against the wooden table, dodging the 'Missing' posters scattered all over the surface. "Maybe," she finally says, "Just maybe, he doesn't want to be found, Ava." I clench my jaw. "No. I refuse to believe that. He's not like that." "What do you know?" Jas snorts, finally withdrawing her hand from the table and turning back to look at me. "You don't even know him." xx Ford Wilson was in three out of four of Ava Jackson's classes. They had one mutual friend, did a project together once in sophomore year, and had the same lunch. When Ava's car had broke down, she had even ended up parked outside of Ford's house, asking for gas. In Ava's life, he was everywhere. And yet, she didn't notice him until he was nowhere to be found.
