The Independent States is a vast continent embraced by The Ebon-a mystical, endless wall that stood for generations past and forgotten, existing alongside history, and rivaling the age of time itself. It stretches beyond sight, vanishing into the clouds, making hillocks of the mightiest mountains, and veiling its borders and the land within in an eternal shadow. This isolation gestates a people of dark mystery and even darker truths.
Follow a child born of the Ebon's embrace, Alicia-driven by duty and clouded by her father's legacy. She surrenders her future to the will of a young king, ambitious at heart and unwilling to let his past die- he senses the tides that threaten to revive chaos in his kingdom and entrusts Alicia with a daunting task. Her mission: to hunt down the former Commander, a man once presumed dead, and whose actions reminded the kingdom of a dark past they'd tried to forget. But as she delves into this treacherous journey, her path meanders into a labyrinth of moral ambiguity and lies become indistinguishable from truth.
As secrets unravel and loyalties shift. She'll need every ounce of strength to traverse this new landscape of reality: Can she unravel the mysteries of the Dark Covenant, the ancient pact that holds her kingdom in its grasp?

Hey, if the vamp wants to keep things all business and no play between them, that's his loss. She can be professional about it. Totally.

The sisters and the forbidden chamber
Everyone thought she was dead. They were wrong. Now she's hunting two sisters who don't even know why. Staying alive? That's the biggest fight of all. | Here's a teaser: Then, she felt it again. But this time, the skin wasn't that cold. It was quite warm. She closed her eyes, taking a deep breath, trying to prepare herself for what she might see, and looked down. That didn't help her at all though, she still gasped, her gasp echoing eerily in the quiet night air; her heart still raced as though in a marathon; her breathing still hitched; a shiver still ran sharply down her spine. There was Vivienne, lying in the grass, a bullet through her heart, limbs mangled, blood everywhere, eyes lifeless. Lydia-against all her instincts-kneeled down beside Vivienne's body, squeezing her wrist tightly. There was no pulse. | I would really appreciate it if u vote and comment! I don't mind criticism!
