Description
[Watty's 2022 Shortlist!] In the City of Eternity, Nika's life is one of decadence and indulgence-especially in the Eastern Zone's Ruby District, where alcohol flows freely, desires are fulfilled, and the immortal roam without fear. For years, Nika has thrived in this world, avoiding the city's brewing unrest. But when hunger grips the supernatural factions due to failing vending machines, a revolution sparks, threatening to tear the city apart. The City of Eternity is divided into zones-vampires rule the East, werewolves claim the West, while humans are confined to the Northern and Southern districts. At its centre, a corrupt government maintains fragile control, but their hold is slipping as the city edges toward chaos. Nika wants no part in the rebellion. He has seen it all before-he fought in the first revolution that destroyed Barewood and shaped the city into what it is today. But this time, he cannot escape his fate. Bound by an ancient prophecy known only to a select few, Nika's role in the coming storm is crucial. Despite his desire to remain in the shadows, Nika is drawn into the heart of the conflict, where old alliances crumble and dangerous enemies emerge. As tensions between vampires, werewolves, and humans rise, Nika must decide: will he embrace his dark destiny and fight for the survival of the city he calls home?
