Undercover: Chapter One - THE TRAP IS SPRUNG

Some monsters hide in the dark. Others write the laws.

Special Agent Aerona Gibbs has spent her career infiltrating the world's most dangerous criminal organizations for the Division of Paranormal Enforcement (DPE). Her latest assignment should be simple: infiltrate a secret syndicate known as the Obsidian Hand, gather evidence, and disappear before anyone realizes she's there.

Instead, she uncovers a hidden city beneath the city.

A place where vampires, powerful elites, and influential figures conduct business beyond the reach of justice. A place where people vanish without a trace, fortunes are built on human suffering, and every smiling face could belong to a predator.

As Aerona digs deeper into the conspiracy, she realizes the Obsidian Hand isn't just another criminal organization—it has infiltrated the highest levels of society. Even the agency she serves may no longer be able to distinguish allies from enemies.

Watching her every move is Kaelen, the enigmatic leader of the syndicate. Intelligent, composed, and impossible to read, he seems to know far more about Aerona than he should. With every encounter, the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur.

Now trapped behind enemy lines with no backup and no one she can trust, Aerona must expose a conspiracy powerful enough to rewrite the truth—or become its next victim.

In a city built on secrets, survival comes at a price.
