Synopsis:
In every story, humans are the weaker species. They are defeated. They fall. They become cattle.
Of course, this is absurd.
In the real world, humans survive and conquer. They remain the dominant species.
For Gyldan Crawford, this is a blessing and a curse. Working for a man who sells tools to regulate vampires and werewolves means Gyldan can provide for his household. But, as the only human living in the house, his choice of profession has always been a sore point… until his friends decide to make use of his position to fight back.
Gyldan is forced to keep several plates spinning—one that makes him the perfect personal assistant to his boss, Albion Saint-Richter; one that supports his friends in taking down his employer; and one that keeps his intimate relationship with Albion a secret. He really doesn’t have time for another plate to be added to his frantic performance. But when an unknown entity starts killing off Albion’s competitors, the rumour mill starts churning: is the murderer a vampire, a werewolf, or a human?
Order here:
“Even if his jaw hadn’t locked, Gyldan knew he would not be able to scream, his mouth and throat drying as he tilted his head to follow the creature.
Vampire. Vampire. Wild vampire, his mind stammered. Run. Gyldan. Get out of there.
He couldn’t move.
But it could.
In a blur of staggering speed for a creature its size, the being howled and started forward. A scream scraped from Gyldan’s dry throat then and he lurched backwards, arms up to shield himself, falling back onto the ground and landing among several rubbish bags. He yelped, he blubbed, he made a frantic scramble to the wall to try and get out of the way. His hands tore at his pockets, yanking out the activator Albion had left for him. He smashed at the buttons once, twice, three times, again and again.
It wasn’t until he realised he could still hear his own breath, shaking and whimpering, that Gyldan stopped his frenzied hammering of the activator’s button. He uncurled a little, casting a frantic look up and down the alleyway.
No dead vampire. No dead werewolf. No monster at all. He was alone, quivering against the stone wall, thumb slowly jabbing at the activator one more time.
All at once, every limb in his body went limp as an audible exhalation of relief spilt from Gyldan’s lips. Once he had regained his breath and mind somewhat, he looked down at the activator resting in his loose grip.

A.L. Haringrey is a British author and occasional archer. She lives with her better half and her lizard son somewhere not nearly close enough to the sea for her liking. She has a degree in English Language and currently works as a copy editor and copywriter.
Ms Haringrey loves a good fantasy book, especially when it dips its toes into the paranormal or supernatural side of things. However, having grown tired of saturated tropes—especially concerning vampires and werewolves—she decided to write her own stories. She started publishing on Wattpad and ended up winning numerous user-run awards. Her works have also been featured on some of Wattpad’s ambassador profiles.
When she’s not writing books, Ms Haringrey can often be found trying to get several arrows to land somewhere close to the middle of a target, drinking far too much coffee, or playing video games.
