[Watty's 2022 Shortlist!]

Nika is a vampire living within the Eastern Zone of the city. Despite being a member of seventeen, one of the weaker bloodlines, Nika had an ample part in the first revolution that caused the downfall of Barewood. While his interests primarily now revolved around parties, sleeping around and getting involved in fight clubs, a variety of encounters lead him to uncover the roots of a revolution.

With a soft spot for humanity weighing him down, will he accept the invitation to lead a new revolution for the glory of the vampires, or take the weak side in his arms?

BOOK ONE of The City of Eternity Series.
__________________________________

The City of Eternity was once a harmonious city named Barewood - a city filled with human life. A city of people working to live - office jobs, construction work, healthcare, grocery shopping, all of the things that go into living. This was until the emergence - the creatures that hid deep down below the city had risen after growing tired of fighting each other and begun to feast on the people above; both willing and unwilling.

This went on for months upon months; people tried to hide, tried to protest, tried to offer slavery, tried to do anything except become a creature. Eventually, a deal was struck between humanity and both sides of the creatures.

The city was split into five zones; the east was given to the vampires, the west to the werewolves, the south was kept by the humans; and the rich and important of those humans had taken the north for themselves. The central zone of the city was deemed "neutral" and would be reserved for work that concerned keeping the peace, and trade between the zones. Peace had been won.

But everyone knows when the world has been revolutionised and "made perfect" there will always be someone unhappy...someone willing to take the win away. Can the City of Eternity survive another revolution? Or will it wither away like the origins of Barewood?
