Where Is The Outsiders Set Novels & Stories

That notion didn’t hold up long. The cold bit first. Not the clean chill of winter estates or warded keeps, but a damp, bone-deep cold that clung to her skin and refused to let go. The ground was uneven, churned into mud by countless boots, blood, and rot. Smoke hung low in the air, acrid and constant, carrying the stench of unwashed bodies and old fires. She was outside of one of the rogue settlements, deep in the forest where the outcast warriors and killers for hire made their homes.

He curled up on a pile of empty coal sacks. Saoirse sat beside him, resting her head on his shoulder. The train rattled on through the dark, a heartbeat of iron in the mountain’s chest.

The Last Rites had been abandoned twenty miles out, hidden in an old lumber yard when the tracks became too heavily patrolled. They had walked the rest of the way, blending in with the refugees fleeing the unrest caused by the destruction of the Foundry.

My bones nearly cracked from the impact as it slammed against the hard floor. I glared at the crowd of people who'd been my family for the first 20 years of my life, now threatening and beating me up all for the sake of an outsider, and felt my heart turn to stone. I wiped the blood from the corner of my lips and glared daggers at them. "I'm going to call the police! Not a single one of you is getting out alive!" Isaac was even more enraged by this. He kicked me hard in the back and thundered, "The police! To hell with that, you stubborn old bitch! I'm going to fucking beat you black and blue!"

"There's no bus stop around here," Oscar said, scanning the road. "It's only two miles," Rebecca replied lightly. "That's close." Oscar frowned.

I watched them until they disappeared from view, my chest tight with fury. “Drive me to the outskirts,” I barked at the nearest guard, storming toward the waiting car. The outskirts of the pack were as miserable as ever. The once-thriving land was now a haven for outcasts and stragglers—omegas and refugees from the last war, scraping by in dilapidated homes. I wrinkled my nose as the car came to a stop in front of John’s cottage. The sight of it—the chipped paint, the sagging roof—made my stomach churn.

Darlyn stepped into the bleak streets of Ovion City, a place devoid of life and hope. The air hung heavy with the scent of despair, mingling with the lingering stench of poverty and desperation.

I scrubbed the stone floor, my knuckles raw against the rough, freezing surface, careful not to look up. In this part of the Black Hills pack territory—the dregs, the slums, the place where failed omegas were shuffled off to die quietly, invisibility was the only comfort I could claim.

Chelsea followed suit and they boarded the Urus. They sat together at the back seat as Hill navigated through along the singular track that led away from the mansion. The building was situated in a remote location, being the only residential property in the area. Empty grasslands and woods covered vast distances before Chelsea caught a glimpse of urbanisation.
