   Summary

   Set just after the events of Onyx Storm (spoilers obviously). An unplanned pregnancy, a venin school that was designed with the intention of breaking the strongest of wills, and a desperate rescue plan to save someone who may already be beyond saving. Can love truly conquer all? Or is the world simply too cruel for happy endings? TW in the tags (Cross-Posted on WattPad)
