Shatterborn
I’m Charlie Sommers. Fey shapeshifter, gun for hire, and quick on my feet — a necessity when your mouth comes factory‑installed with attitude.
Most days, that’s enough to keep my life pointed in something resembling a straight line. Do the job, dodge the fallout, try not to piss off anything ancient or having a bad day. Simple system. Reliable, even.
Lately, though, things have been… off. Fey disappearing. Jobs unraveling. And the whole thing feels rigged, like someone’s moving pieces I can’t see. That’s all annoying enough — but there’s also a very real someone trying to put me in the ground.
Not to mention the cold bite under my skin that’s got nothing to do with any of that and everything to do with me.
Doesn’t matter. Whoever gets to me first — the killer or whatever’s waking up inside me — they’re going to have to work for it. I don’t break easy.
