Unwritten: ORIGINS: Selene

By Adger R. Matthews II and Adger Matthews

She was seven when the fire took everything.

Parents. Home. The girl she might have been.

Selene survived the streets of Garnath the only way a child could. By becoming something the city couldn't break. By learning to fight, to steal, to kill without flinching. By building walls so thick that nothing could reach the hollow place where a seven-year-old girl used to live.

Seventeen years later, she is one of the most feared contractors in the city's underworld. She has a partner who would die for her, a reputation no one questions, and a set of rules that have kept her alive since childhood.

Then she finds a girl with blue eyes hiding in a doorway. Six years old. Starving. Looking at the world the same way Selene once did.

And the walls begin to crack.

Now someone from her past is circling closer. The truth about the night her parents burned is more dangerous than anything Garnath has ever thrown at her. And in a city that eats its children, caring about someone is the most dangerous thing you can do.

Some fires don't stay buried.
