Chapter One// Secrets Severed People

"Just remember, if this goes south real fast, you were the one who went with it."
"And when it doesn't?"
"Then it's all on me."

When a very unexpected surprise arrives on Tristan and Ryden's doorstep in the form of two police officers and two nieces they had no idea existed, it's quite a shock to the system. Faced with looking after the twins in a world where they can't even count on being alive tomorrow, they go with it - family is family, after all.
Of course, when their decision has monstrous and sometimes hellish consequences, their family is pulled every which way, the bonds tested and strained.
Can old friendships and family be counted on? Or does immortality make for a terminal case of nostalgia?
