These Endless Days (Are Finally Ending in a Blaze)
Tatiana’s story; the city is blockaded and the citizens are desperate. Some a little more desperate than others. In the midst of this, Tatiana Fedorova is called, the previous Slayer having finally perished after two long years in a camp, the Watcher’s Council voting unanimously against any rescue attempt. Just fifteen years old, Tatiana is frightened and - trapped in a city fast running out of food and hope - she finds she has to fight off more than just the ravages of hunger.
Tatiana awakes on the morning of the third day after her fifteenth birthday - a day that goes mostly unacknowledged by both her and her family, because what would be the point - and feels different. Blinking into the weak morning light, her breath already clouding in the cold air of her bedroom, she tries to place what the feeling is.
