Then I saw him...the man I've been seeing in my dreams, before I can even comprehend the situation, I stumbled over the roots of the dampened ground of the forest and hit my head hard. I stared into the unfathomable smokey grey eyes and then I was pulled into black oblivion. Just my luck. Zyrian Aeron The name alone can bring dead and alive to their knees.

It's been two years since Maisye Haywood's estranged twin sister, Matilda, drowned herself in Boston's Mystic River, prompting a psychotic break that left Maisye's life in shambles and her mind divided. Finally released from round-the-clock psychiatric care, she's been wandering the country for months when a not-so-chance encounter with the FBI calls the suicide ruling into question and prompts her to finally return to the place her sister died. Along the banks of the Mystic, Maisye discovers a web of lies and betrayal. All of it seems to revolve around the Cosgrave brothers: Donovan, a notoriously slippery hacker and Matilda's ex-fiancé; and Ciar, a rough-around-the-edges mechanic with a sketchy side business and a penchant for illegal street racing. The closer Maisye gets to answers, the more dangerous the questions become, until she finally uncovers something that even the FBI never saw coming.

❝ 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]]
