/a seven part sequel to my spy thriller Kill Code/

Darci Mendelssohn's life has completely turned upside down since she crippled the secret anarchist group Arachne two years ago, but nothing could prepare her for what's to come. When the Cellar unearths a mysterious new mineral with strange powers, a nefarious extraterrestrial empire takes notice--and help from one of their own may be her only hope to save Earth from literal collapse.

"'What a shame, Darci,' came his groggy voice, a glint passing briefly over his gaze. 'It slipped right under your nose.'
"His voice echoed ever louder in her mind until she awoke, gasping for air and sweating profusely. The fact that she was often in perilous situations frequently gave her nightmares, but this one seemed different. It was so real, so vivid, so imminent..."

[COMPLETED] "Love can be cruel," he mutters. "I thought it would be the reason I would propose, but it's not. Love never wins, does it?" Cruel. Devious. Twisted love. Love can play games, and we just happen to be the pawns. We play our moves strategically like a game of chess, until it comes to this moment. We can let the world separate us, stop us, pull us apart. We can let this old love between us fray at the edges. If love is a game, then Cato and I are destined to lose. "You're right," I whisper. "But love still exists. Even for a moment." His knuckles brush against my waist, before he decides to pull me flush against his chest. We're close, and burning, and his breath feels like electricity on my skin. In his green eyes, I see remnants of the heavens, the northern auroras flashing illuminating inside of them. He holds a new world inside of him, and I long to be the first to discover it. Cato's nose brushes up against mine, the space between our mouths fading like stardust. "Even for a moment," he murmurs my words against me. At once, our tensions release. ─── ·𖥸· ─── One half of her heart belongs to the man from the stars. The other belongs to the man of smoke and ash.

I woke up in a metal cell, wearing some kind of black jumpsuit and bulletproof vest. It was strange that I knew the room was metal, or it was a cell, when I couldn't remember my own name. Or where I came from or what I was doing here. The room was tiny. My feet touched the door when I lied down. I stood up and pushed the door. Solid. Locked. It wasn't meant to be opened. I stepped back and analysed the situation. One - if it was not meant to be opened, it had to be opened. Two - I didn't know what was outside. Three - I didn't want to be locked up. The third reason outweighed all the others. Instantly, I knew what to do.
