The apocalypse was worse than everyone imagined.
Few townspeople had come out of hiding since the Uncleans took over the city. If Cassia's life were normal, she would not have come out of hiding either, but then again, normal had a different meaning at that time. Normal was for the people who could hide in fear together. Normal was for the people with at least one family member left, and luckily, that was most people. As for the others, like Cassia, they had to live with no fear. They had to be clever, brave, fearless, strong, and intelligent to survive. People called these particular few beings Rouges-humans full of vengeance and hatred against the Uncleans. They devoted their lives to destroying them individually, no matter what difference it made. Rouges had no family-either orphaned by birth or orphaned from the cruel complements of the Uncleans who had slaughtered their families. Rouges were cunning, strong, fast, skillful, and, most of all, driven by hatred and vengeance, making them even more dangerous. Cassia was one of the best Rouges there were, and everyone knew it-she was claimed to be the best Unclean assassin in the state. Her annoyingly handsome and cocky childhood friend, Rivalry, stood in second besides her, both holding devastating stories and unanswered questions regarding to their families deaths that lead up to their success.
While Cassia and Rivalry spent their days assassinating the Uncleans, a not-so far away kingdom, Nova, lay hidden behind an enchanted barrier, keeping all individuals who were not accepted in the mythic forest (that surrounds Nova.)
There resides a curious relentless prince, a strong, beautiful, but closed off warrior, a kingdom struggling to find the end to this apocalypse, and a king and queen searching for the missing piece to end the worlds endless misery.
A girl born between a warrior and an unknown mother. The question holds, who is Cassia?
