When Snow Falls

Book one of the When Lightning Strikes saga

In a realm where Angels, Demons, Selkies, Humans, and Gods exist, tension begins to rise in the city of Soulesity.

THE VULTURE

At seventeen, he was unchallenged– until she returned to the land of the living. As they are forced together by fate, the reputation that took him years to build begins to crumble.

THE GRIM REAPER

After being missing and presumed dead for the last four years, she reappears with a new name. No one knows what happened to her in those years or why she’s back.

They call him the Vulture, for if you’re his victim, you’re already dead.

At seventeen, Hyacinth is already the most dangerous teen in Soulesity, surpassing even his mentor, Niko. His life is carefully controlled and predictable, everything falling exactly into place. The only thing left was to wait. Because no matter how ruthless or feared he was, who would really respect a teenager?

Then she came back from the dead.

Datura Celestine Vicary—the senator’s missing daughter—suddenly reappears after four years, enrolling in Hyacinth’s school as if nothing ever happened. Where has she been? He doesn’t care. Why she’s made it her personal mission to annoy him at every opportunity? He could scream.

But no matter how much he wants to wipe that smug smile off her face, he can’t. Somehow, she’s gotten tangled up with the most dangerous clan in the city, the ones tied to Demons. And now, his mentor wants Hyacinth to train her, claiming it will teach him ‘empathy’ and ‘responsibility’.

He’s survived gang wars, assassination attempts, and betrayal. But her? She might be his undoing.
