The Supposed Terrorist by WiredUp007

My trial in court was going on and all the evidence pointed toward my crimes. It was a really pointless proceeding. Everyone knew I had committed those sins against the nation. You know, the usual- mass killings, bombings, and all. I felt a bit sad as I heard the sentence of my death. 23 felt no age to die. "The court is adjourned-" The judge was saying when he got cut off by someone's frantic yells. The doors to the courtroom bang opened and a man entered with urgency. He had some papers in his hands and started waving them in the air. "I CAN PROVE HER INNOCENCE, I CAN. I HAVE EVIDENCE!" His voice rang in the room. I stared. _________________________________________ Rico Wayland is someone completely abnormal for her age. After all, being convicted for terrorist activities isn't at the top of the to-do list of a 23 year old young woman. But, of course, she has landed herself in that situation. And she is completely aware that she has, in fact, committed those crimes. But what will she do when a man (who she has know clue about) claims to her innocence? How will she discover the thin fine line between reality and illusion? __________ COVER DESIGNED BY: @idknylira

As usual, Kirby gets more than what she bargained for. Desirae isn't the only ex-girlfriend to show up. After being left in Bay City to take the fall for an old art heist, Artemisia is out for blood. Caught in a dangerous love triangle, Kirby flees from the gallery to the home of her new handler, a Russian art collector who has ties to the Bratva. But instead of Georgiy Petrov opening the door, a beautiful stranger welcomes her inside and offers her refuge for the night from her ex-girlfriends. But by morning, Kirby is waking up beneath an empty wall where a Caravaggio painting had been hanging and next to her in bed is a cold, bloody body. With Interpol hot on her trail, Kirby will have to rely on her vengeful ex-girlfriends to help her find out the truth of what happened that night. But Kirby soon learns, finding a killer takes a killer. And deadly desire will either bring them all together---or tear them apart. Heads will roll in this Skullduggery sequel. #ONC2024
