When inexplicable anomalies occur around the world, Alana Zwane is chosen on behalf of the Secret Intelligence Service to serve in the Madcap Coalition. It's a project between allied nations to investigate these anomalies and their sources; the vestiges, mystical stones that can preform the impossible. She's partnered with the Central Intelligence Agency's James Beckham, a man shrouded by a legacy of dedication and detachment. However, as Alana begins her career within the Madcap Coalition, things swiftly spiral out of her control. A hostile group has risen from the shadows, unburying names that were meant to be forgotten and thieving any vestiges within their sight. As more and more people become targets of both this clandestine group and the vestiges, Alana and James are given no choice but to put their pure faith in each other, a bond strengthened by a mystique sense that this has happened before. But eventually the past comes calling, carving a path of blood and bringing forth a name no one ever wanted to hear again - Blackbird. ---- Kismet Series | Book 1 | First Draft Copyright 2022 ©️ Rees Parsley 1 June 2022 -
