Death Countdown Web Novels & Stories

Everyone thinks I killed my sister. When Elizabeth was found dead, the police found my throw knife buried in her chest. Her husband found my earring at the scene. And her killer found me, the jealous younger sister who never had her perfect life, as the perfect cover. I was about to go to prison for a murder I didn't commit. So I did what any desperate twenty-year-old would do. I begged her for help. And woke up the next morning in her body. In her house and in her marriage to Marshall, the same man who stood in court and swore I was the killer. I thought I would have a chance to clear my name before returning to my body, but nothing prepared me for the fact that I would cook, clean, and sleep next to the man who wanted to see me rot in jail. How could I have imagined that my sister lent me her body so I can finish something she started? How much more when it drives my ex, the only man who would recognise me in any skin, back into my life?

It is an innocent man she needs dead. When Nathan pulls the trigger, he finally understands he was never hunting the General. He was being used by him. Now he must take out the real General, not with anger, but with the same cruelty the General showed his city.

Every day at the same hour, the Red Ones come. And anyone caught outside when they arrive dies.

She goes outside. Noah follows her. And before they can make it back, the hour arrives. The streets empty. The Red Ones appear.

But watching Elara risk her life for her brother changes something in him. Now he has someone worth protecting. Together, the three of them must uncover the safe places hidden throughout the town, survive the hours when the Red Ones rule the streets, and find a way out before they become trapped there forever. Because there is one question nobody has dared to ask: What is waiting beyond the town?

I know how this story was meant to go.But the Green Tide has arrived too early, the plot is already falling apart, and survival is about to become a very different kind of game. This time, I'm not playing the helpless villainess.I've never been good at taking orders, and I'm certainly not dying for a plot that was never written in my favor. If the world wants to take everything from me, it can get in line. If this world wants a monster, it can have one.
