Melenially

⚠️This is a sequel to an ongoing book (Nicholas Vials; The Case Of Michael Vials)⚠️

Baldwin James Alburn, the only living heir to the Alburn family, is the definition of upright and moral. It's just that corruption is only a fire fueled by events that erode one's conscience. 

From his sacrifices for Emberline and his efforts to better the world and the duty he holds to uphold the Alburn name. There still remains a yearning for revenge. A bloodthirsty, scolding, cold desire. 

Nicholas Vials, on the other hand, is the definition of deceit and opportunism. His actions suggest that he doesn't plan on improving his repute. However, he has taken on a path of great peril. To take away the authority from those trying to kill him.

And to find Emberline. 

Yet, neither Baldwin nor Nicholas wield control over their schemes. Like grains of sand in a desert, time slips through their fingers, leaving them grasping for control in a world where nothing is as it seems. Their only hope lies in uncovering the undisclosed—a secret that may hold the key to their salvation or seal their fate forever.

Or perhaps it is hidden in plain sight

The gentle creaking of the bed frame seemed to whisper a comforting lullaby, coaxing Emberline into her dreams.

Emberline stirred from her slumber, the disoriented haze of dreams dissipating as the evening light seeped through the curtains.
