Lines We Shouldn't Cross
Joan is an ordinary student trying to live an ordinary life in a city that already feels too loud, too fast, and too unpredictable. But everything shifts the night she accidentally steps into a hidden world she was never meant to see. That world belongs to Adrian Vale. Cold. Controlled. Unreachable. A man whose silence carries more weight than most people's words-and whose presence bends every room he enters without effort. What begins as a strange encounter slowly turns into something neither of them understands. Adrian is used to keeping everything at a distance: people, emotions, attachments. Control has always been his strongest weapon. But Joan doesn't fit into control. She questions him when she shouldn't. Stands her ground when she should walk away. And somehow, without trying, she starts breaking through the very walls he built his life on. As their paths keep crossing, the line between curiosity and connection begins to blur. What should have been a simple "stay away" turns into something heavier-something neither of them can fully name yet. Because in Adrian's world, closeness is dangerous. And in Joan's world, people like him are never meant to stay. But some lines... are crossed before you even realize they were there. And once that happens-nothing stays the same.

Del finds a murdered young woman, who soon rises from the dead as a zombie. Del is brought into a very special community living in happy isolation within the beautiful Whisper Valley. There creatures of myth and legend live together in harmony, following a strict set of rules that allow them to be who they are but also enjoy modern amenities like a steady Wifi connection and the latest smartphone. They all just want a normal life that's free from persecution by humans. For them, humans are instead seen as a commodity. Specifically they're known as the "Bodies" and they all have one year to either be sponsored or converted by one of the town's supernatural citizens. Del fills the vacancy left by the corpse in the woods, Calista Nightgrave. Calista should have been the next bride to a wealthy vampire, but instead she is a lowly zombie that's furious over the shift in her immortal afterlife.
