Description
According to the trustworthy, perfectly reasonable, and brilliant mind of Athena Concord, the city of Veridian is the absolute worst place on the planet. Definitely the hot take of the century, sure, but she's sticking true to it no matter what. But hot take or no, she has to live there, no matter how loudly or incessantly she's going to complain about it. To say she's frustrated is a tad underexaggerated. Despite Athena's opinions and their obvious veracity, Veridian's at least not boring. Between her insufferable relatives and prickly mother, Athena has another distraction. Her father disappeared in this city - a source of unending agony that keeps her restless - and yet her family has opted to sweep it under the rug. If nothing else, Athena will do anything to find the truth, no matter the cost. But how far is she willing to expose herself to the monsters who took her father away...? (Note: Ashes of Eden is the working name for the series, I'm hoping to find another. If anyone has suggestions, please tell me and I'll see if I can majigger something out of them)
