I survive. I don’t live. After decades of war between the vampires and humans, we now all exist in a tense peace. The government has become a dictatorship, claiming it’s the best for human survival. I’m part of a group that trains me how to fight. How to kill. To unseat the government. To overthrow the vampires. Until one night changes everything, and I find myself alone and on the run. I end up in vampire territory. I planned to stay quiet. Hidden. Until one certain vampire finds me, and decides he doesn’t want me to leave. Zan brings me to his city, not letting me out of his sight. But once there, I overhear things proving the vampires aren’t interested in keeping peace much longer. Zan doesn't trust me. And he shouldn't. I need to stop him and the other vampires from whatever they’re planning. The problem is, the longer I'm stuck with him, the more I see we're not all that different.

Betray me once, shame on you… My last name ensured the town owned me from the day I was born. I always expected to come back to Braidwood after being forced to leave. But that all changed once they betrayed me. Elias. River. Weston. My childhood defined in three names. Names that had once been the anchors of my sanity, names that I sometimes couldn’t stand. But now they’re a leverage for my freedom. I made a deal with a different devil to repay what they did to me, and my plan was slowly falling into place. Until the boys of my past found me and made a plan of their own that dragged me back home. Now, I’m spending my senior year at Braidwood University while barely surviving the life attempting to swallow me whole. The boys I once leaned on, stare at me with suspicion and anger from the past, and our families want nothing more than to bend me to their will. Soon, none of it will matter. I’m taking them all down. And when I do, I’ll leave this city behind forever. *Buried Betrayal is book one in the series and ends in a cliffhanger.

They lied. Played me in a way I wasn’t expecting at all. I made a mistake in trusting them, and that wouldn’t be happening again.

This time I refuse to let them fill the cracks in my heart. They’re nothing but a step closer to my freedom.

They’re after paperwork my parents hid before they were murdered. I need to get out of this city before my own secret gets me killed.
