The Wraith in the Dark

Hyelin Frost (Standalone Short Story)

The ship had no running lights, no transponder signal, and no reason to exist where it was floating in the cold dark of the Devil's Abyss. Imperial Wraith Hyelin Frost should have kept flying, she didn't.

Selected at nine years old and trained to kill before she was old enough to choose it, Frost is one of the Empire's deadliest covert operators. But nothing in her training prepared her for the horrors waiting inside that dead ship, the eyeless monsters clicking through pitch-black corridors, hunting her through an ancient living vessel.

At the heart of the ship, protected by creatures that serve the Fallen lies an ancient artifact capable of killing millions, a psionic weapon the Nephilim Lords have been guarding for a thousand years and will do anything to keep.

Frost is alone, her personal shields are failing, and the monsters are relentless. Some discoveries change the course of a war. This one could end everything.
