The Oddity

"We are the descendants of the witches they couldn't burn."

Three names haunt my mind.

Three names of three devils who burned my life to ash a decade ago.

They broke my heart, destroyed my soul, and ruined my family's reputation. All on the same night of my parents' gruesome murder inside the supposed sanctity of my home.

I've been hiding ever since, determined to avoid any more mistakes like trusting the wrong person. But now someone else I considered family is taken the same way, brutally and without warning.

And now there's a new name haunting my very existence.

My people are vanishing, a sickness is spreading, and it's all I can do to pull myself together when those same three devils come crashing into my life again. Despite my protests, they are determined to protect me from an obsessive murderer who is out for blood and vengeance.

I have to protect myself.

Fortunately for me, sirens were never known for their mercy.
