#1 in the The Watchers Series

Readers who enjoyed SHADOW AND BONE or who crave a novel like CASSANDRA CLARE's but with a new magic world-building should look no further. 

The Watchers are supposed to use their powers to protect humans, but what happens when one of them wants to endanger them instead?

In this swashbuckling novel that draws inspiration from Jewish Folklore and that is set in a magical world inspired by the Hungarian Kingdom of Matthias Corvinus, there is a magical city that will delight the readers of V.E. Schwab. The city is Solima, the sacred city of the Watchers, the guardians of the world against Creatures.

The Tears of Persi by BurbanoR
22 parts Complete Mature
Maya «I never wanted to be feared. I wanted to be seen. Not as a monster, but as a girl who loves the smell of rain and the warmth of sunlit grass. A girl who talks to animals as if they understand her and whispers secrets to the wind when no one's listening. But the world doesn't care what I want. It sees the glow in my eyes and the claws beneath my skin and decides what I am. A beast. A danger. And now, with my family hanging by a thread and strangers knocking at our door, maybe it's time I stop holding back. Let them see what happens when you corner a wolf.» Remi «The sea doesn't forgive mistakes. I learned that the first time I felt the salt bite my wounds and the ropes burn my hands. Out there, you either adapt, or you drown. I learned to strike before being struck, and to stare into the eyes of men who'd rather see me dead. But even as the waves carried me further from the past, it never truly let go. And now, the storm I thought I'd outrun has caught up with me. Maya needs me. My father needs me. But the sea took parts of me I can't get back. What if the man who returns isn't enough? What if I'm already lost?» Lynn «The city taught me how to survive and how to disappear. A glance, a twitch of the fingers, a slight tilt of the head, that's all it takes to pick a pocket or avoid a blade. I learned to watch, to wait, to strike. I became the shadow people fear in alleyways. And I like it. I like the power, the freedom, the knowledge that no one can touch me unless I let them. But then came Maya's letter. And suddenly, the walls I built to keep the world out feel more like a cage. My little sister needs me, and I hate that it scares me. Not the danger. But home. The girl I used to be. The girl I swore I'd never be again.» Three voices. Three paths. One storm, ready to break. We're not heroes. We're broken pieces, sharpened by pain. And when the storm hits, we'll either cut through it or be swept away.

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

Claudia is just like her mother. Rather than sitting on a throne, this princess would rather be out in the world, living her life. And like her mother, she constantly puts herself in danger. Her life is hers to decide and Claudia's taken up the role of hunting the vampire slayers. Her cousin Alaric has a mission, one that seems easy enough but Claudia knows to be wary of the slayers. She has to find Henley Davenport, a slayer that the king wants dead. He's supposedly still in the vampire city but after receiving information from an informant, Claudia learns that he's in the halfways, a city that encircles the human settlement. Venturing into the halfways was once easy, now it's dangerous. The humans that live there are protesting and causing problems, something that doesn't surprise Claudia given that a slayer is in their town. It doesn't take Claudia long to find Henley, something that she finds suspicious. The further she delves, the more Claudia realizes that something is wrong. When she learns the truth about Henley, Claudia has to do the one thing that she never dreamed of doing - going against her mission directive. **Book 6 in the series.
