Hidden Secrets: Young Miko

HIDDEN SECRETS: Blood bonds in the land of witches Introduction Beneath the gray, misty sky of modern-day Edinburgh, peace is merely a stone facade. What humans ignore is that the city is invisibly divided by a silent, ancient war. Where the vampire dynasty once ruled, the power of the witch coven now stands, controlling the shining New Town. However, crossing the border into the gothic, ruined alleys of the Old Town, the shadows whisper secrets of the past, guarding the last survivor of a persecuted lineage in the perpetual darkness of the Mary King's Close tunnels. This is a story of two opposing worlds forced to collide, where the duty of blood clashes with the forbidden beats of an unexpected attraction. Synopsis Emily Blackwood is the eldest daughter of the main coven, considered a sort of princess in her community, but stifled by her mother's strict expectations and the constant comparison to her impeccable cousin, Elara. Eager for freedom, Emily escapes on horseback to the forest to practice archery, the only space where she can be herself, far from royal etiquette. Victoria Valerius is a lonely, distrustful vampire, the daughter of a lineage destroyed by magic. After losing her protector under the lethal Edinburgh sun, Victoria survives, taking refuge in the depths of the underground, living off sparse animal blood and harboring resentment toward the species that stole her family. Everything changes one night in the forest when fate plays its cards. After a chaotic encounter where Emily wounds and then heals a mysterious bat with her magic, both young women come face to face in their human forms. What begins as a hostile clash loaded with threats and territorial reproaches quickly transforms into an unbearable magnetic tension, sealed by a breath against the neck that awakens forbidden emotions. Knowing that hiding the existence of a vampire is a direct betrayal of her own nature and a mortal danger, Emily decides to stay silent. Amidst clandestine nocturnal meetings and burning secrets, both will discover that playing with fire is dangerous... but for the first time, neither of them wants to put it out.
