She went simply by Danielle, but everyone in the field called her Madam Grim. She worked for the (day-walking) mafia that worked for the Coven of Deriabin- a group of Dark Ones known as vampires in the modern tongue.Danielle wasn't supposed to know that, but then no one knew she was a witch hiding out from monsters scarier than mere vampires.

Until her unit assists in a raid against the Palvovs for trading drugs with the Juarez of Mexico without prior authorization. She was already raging a war of her own against an enemy closer to her than anyone else. Getting caught between two rogue vampires and becoming a last resort of power for one of them wasn't in the briefing. Now she has to find the bonded Dark One and cut the gold-colored String of Fate he forged through a Mark. Only when Danielle finds him does the vamp have the audacity to say she has the wrong person.…

Two brothers find themselves on the same battlefield at the end of their lives. Both were raised under the same surname but with two strikingly different recounts of childhood. John, marred by torture at the hands of his stepmother, and Ivan, doted upon by everyone due to John's constant absence. Hardly anyone knew why the eldest twin seemed a lightweight, good-for-nothing, lazy waste of air. No one could imagine the fair Lady of the Nithe could do something as horrid as abuse a stepson when she treated his twin brother so well. Even his all-knowing, all-mighty father didn't know he was being scorned every day of his life. When both brothers fight as brothers in arms in a war against an invading kingdom across the sea, they discover things about each other they did not know. And it takes an entire war for them to conclude that they sorely wish they had the chance to really be brothers. But for them, it's a little too late. The Wraiths of the North have nearly won, and the two brothers are fatally injured. The eldest, John, steps forward to protect his dying little brother Ivan one last time. As Ivan takes his brother's corpse into his arms, he gets an idea that could save them and the Empire, but if it doesn't work, he'll end up making John's sacrifice a vain effort. If it worked, he'd pledge his life to John, his oh-so tragic big brother, whom he's come to love at the end of everything.…

They do not notice the scars, the power, and the vigor of pride she has just underneath the surface. But she will show them. She will save them.…
