Action conspiracy thriller set between Mass Effect 1 & 2. Deep, fun & complex OCs galore, most carried over from my first story. Fast-paced, action-packed and filled with canon side characters taking full advantage of ME's rich universe. A little bit of angst/trauma. Some bloody but not gory violence, a little foul language and some seduction & romance. Full synopsis in my bio.
