Syndicate

The Deprived

In the slums of a city that would rather see them dead, Clementine and Kristal Alderrayne learned early that survival was never guaranteed. At 10 years old, they hid in a closet and listened as their parents were slaughtered and were orphans with nothing to their name. At 12, they became thieves, vanishing into the underworld, even stealing pieces of bread to survive. At 15, they discovered what made them different—strength, speed, the kind of power no ordinary human should have. Half-vampires, their blood finally doing what they are supposed to do. And a secret that could get them killed if exposed. They stopped running. They stopped hiding. They became mercenaries, selling their skills to the highest bidder. At 19, they had earned their place in the world—separate apartments, separate lives, but always bound by the same unspoken purpose. But survival is not enough. The past still haunts them. The ones who destroyed their family still live. The city still belongs to the corrupt and the powerful. And the twins? They are done living in the margins. When whispers of a secret syndicate known as The Deprived reach their ears—a hidden force of outcasts, rebels, and assassins who answer to no king or god but for themselves—the twins find themselves at a crossroads. Do they continue carving their own path alone? Or do they step into something greater—not as followers, but as the ones who will one day rule it? One thing is certain—power is never given. It is taken.
