Rise of the Dead | II
The battle against the invasive Black Masks leaves the entire Valley reeling, the effects of which have become nearly unbearable. On top of being faced with new responsibilities, Phoenix is now left perturbed by Hawk's sudden coldness after Aleu's subsequent death. As the situation grows more and more dire, the Saviors and Reapers are still fighting more than ever. The two groups can't afford to lose any more people. Once again Hawk and Phoenix are forced to work together for the sake of their people, especially when given an impossible task. Meanwhile Aleu wakes up in the city, countless miles from where they had supposedly been mercy-killed. Faced with complete strangers that had taken them in-and their frustratingly calm leader Khan-they must learn to either assimilate or return to their abusive Keepers. ___________ Recommended to read both Wake of the Dead and Rise of the Dead (1) before continuing. Age recommendation is 18+ due to harsh language, (mild) sexual situations and violence. This story involves a character recovering from emotional trauma and SA. Nothing graphic or non-consensual is depicted, nor taken lightly.

One minute he was behind her; the next, caught between the hoods of two cars. That's when she questioned how normal she truly was. But when she becomes exposed to an unknown world, she quickly learns that there is more to life than meets the eye. Necromancers, sleight of hands, illusions, and trickery are amongst the many tools used by others to hunt her kind. The struggle becomes real as she fights to remain untouched; all whilst in the middle of an epic blood battle between good versus evil. "Through all of the countless crap stories and recycled tales, Untouched is a rare diamond in the rough. With tantalizing descriptions and characters with incredible depth, T.K. Kotkoda paints a unique tale that is a much-need change from the stereotypical Paranormal story. It has been my pleasure to read it." - JDGRIMM - Highest Paranormal Rank: #28 [5 May 2017] -Complete
