Veiled Under Ash

A royal. A murderer. Good and evil. Or is it?  Laura Auburn-Collins. Sold to the royals at five, now a pawn in their game of corruption. Treated like an outsider, yet forced to act like an insider. Smile like nothing's wrong. But she knows. She knows the gold cracks in her veil aren't just for decoration, but they represent her, wasting away as she watches the brutalities of the kingdom committed right before her eyes. Lauren Grey. Fugitive, terrorist. Serial killer, hunter. She sees the headlines, watches the news from her bunker. She knows they're true. Knows that out there, people would do anything to get to her. To the police, she's some stuntwoman, a flash of light, a moment in time. They have more pressing issues. But in a world where true power is corrupt and total dominance has already been achieved, threats are everything. And Lauren is one.
