My parents didn't want me to be even more targeted by classmates than already was, but little did they know what the Talented and Gifted Youth Initiative was really for. On the surface, it was a government based programs with promises of scholarships to the best colleges and universities in the country but beneath the surface, we were guinea pigs. Those of us who excelled became trained assassins, government killing machines, but those of us who didn't excel, and there were many, are locked away in underground bunkers because the test and experiments drove them mad. Survival of the fittest I presume. I'm Emerson West and this is my story. Check trigger warning page before diving in! This is a dark romance! Mature audiences only!

For years, the city has feared magic, but The Cleansing's killing spree against magicals ignited full-scale unrest. Though Zara, a necromancer, and Kage, a shadow-wielding detective, stopped him, The Cleansing became a martyr, fueling the rise of the Sovereign Order, a group bent on erasing magicals.

Determined to help him master his power, Zara and Kage take Malrick in, but as more magicals vanish and the Order tightens its grip, they must ask: Can Malrick be saved, or will his magic ignite a war? A story of magic, redemption, and found family, Death's Shadow, Life's Thread explores the fine line between destruction and salvation-and what it truly means to be feared.
