It's a hard knock Afterlife

Attachments cause drama as Ankh awaits a birth to begin training the next group of Correction survivors for their Immortal Testing. You’ll be on the edge of your seat with jaw-dropping plot twists that will blow your mind and make you question everything.

The crackling tires were echoing. She should ask them to pull over. Something was happening to her. She’d had this sense of ability-related foreboding before, it rarely went well. Deep breath in. Deep breath out. Be calm. Her peripheral vision flickered ominously. Her heart was thudding like she ran a marathon. She’d been asleep for a day and a half. She needed to feed her ability but didn’t want these new people to know she fed off immortal energy. It might make things awkward. Killian smelled amazing. He had sweet, tasty, potent pheromones. She needed to get out of here. She wiped her brow. Her throat was so dry, she could barely swallow. If she ate them all, they’d have a nice long nap. Usually, someone called her out on her feral inner commentary by now. Maybe they couldn’t hear it? That was unfortunate, survival of the fittest wise.”

Kayn Brighton's Backstory

In a world devastated by the Third-Tier's merciless decree, the ban on breeding with mortals known as "The Correction" has plunged society into chaos. A dark cloud of genocide looms over the land, targeting every half-breed under eighteen. Desperate to save immortal halfbreeds from impending doom, a Guardian Azariah rises as a beacon of hope, assembling a fearless Clan of immortals known as the Children Of Ankh. Two more Guardian join this calling. A Treaty is formed with Third-Tier, permitting Correction after their sixteenth year and survivors to be trained by Tri-Clan for a macabre Immortal Testing meant to test their limits and challenge loyalty.

The nightmarish Correction continues today, with relentless assassins hot on the trail of immortal prey. Among the hunted are the Brighton twins, Chloe and Kayn. After the fated Correction of their family line, one twin lingers in a coma. In the in-between, a Guardian offers Kayn an eternity as a sacrificial lamb for the greater good as an alternative to death, but she must align herself with one of the Clans for protection. The choices before her are Ankh, Trinity or Triad. Haunted by her family's massacre, Kayn clings to a sliver of hope. But fate, in its twisted design, throws her best friend into the centre of this brewing storm and separates the duo, making her first love her most dangerous adversary.

Bonded to two other new Ankh as they prepare for the gruelling battle that will determine their survival, Kayn finds herself torn between duty and desire in the week before entry into the hellscape. Can she find the strength to confront her beloved if it means securing victory for Ankh? In this action-packed adventure, Kayn's ultimate test lies in defeating her enemies and reconciling her heart with the cruel demands of the afterlife.
