But academy life becomes far more complicated when she catches the attention of Black Crest-the most feared group in Valmere.

Across the kingdom, ancient legends once dismissed as myths are beginning to stir again. Unexplained powers are appearing. Long-buried secrets are resurfacing.

Prologue Thud! The bucket hit the cold ground. Water soaked through Penny's dress, clinging to her skin. She didn't flinch. Behind her, Cara and the others giggled, their apologies dripping from with mockery. "Lady's maid" one of them sneered. "What a privilege." Penny remained silent. Cold hands, a colder heart. That was her life. By the time she reached Lady Beatrix's chambers, her hair was still damp. But Lady Beatrix smiled softly, unaware of everything beyond her door. Gentle. Fragile. Untouched. Nothing like the rest of her family. The only solace she found was in the quiet of the library. And sometimes while stealing glances at Lord Jeremiah. But she was a maid. And maids did not dare look at the sky for too long. Not unless they wished to fall into misery. 18.9.2026 Rankings 1st in Nobility 1st Romantic Mystery 2nd Forbidden Truth

And due to case-related circumstances, these operators all must be female. So it's time to cherry pick the dossier and fill the positions, build a supergroup of ops specialists...build..THE GIRLFRIEND SQUAD!

Every drop of blood tells a story. Every truth costs a memory. In the fog-choked streets of Victorian London, Selina Montague possesses a chilling gift: she can relive the final moments of the dead simply by touching their blood. But the dead never speak for free. For every secret she uncovers, a piece of her own past vanishes, leaving her mind an empty house of borrowed lives and forgotten faces. When a body drained with surgical precision turns up in a dark alley, the police suspect a vampire. Selina knows better. The wound bears the mark of something far more dangerous. As a sinister shadow begins to stretch across the city, the clues point toward an abandoned past Selina can no longer fully remember-and a secret someone is willing to kill to protect.

This is something I wanted to bring to life for a while now, so please enjoy^^. Everything was so confusing, disorienting, crazy even. But now that all of This has happened... it's easier to understand. Lenore Holloway is your average young woman, a senior in high school. She has good grades, doesn't talk back. Basically a teachers favorite student, or well a teachers pet. Now her life is like your average normal happy fun life, nice family, good friends, liked by teachers. Maybe this is a little over exaggerated, actually it is, but that's the point. I can't let you know everything going on in the book. But I will you know there's bunches of surprises and maybe interesting characters. I did not make any of the pictures used, in fact I got them from Pinterest. So all credit goes to creators of the pictures used. All characters used in the book are made by me, you can take inspiration from the book and characters. But if you take heavy inspiration from any of that, please credit me ^_^
