Blades of Scarlet

""Why me?"" That would be Scarlet's mantra. At 25 years old, she is already weary of her job - not as a bike courier but the other one, the dangerous one. For seven years she has lurked in the shadows, protecting very special people. Bound by duty, wrapped in a Legacy that she neither requested nor desired, she leads a lonely existence doing a thankless job, saving people who will never know the sacrifices she has made for them. She is an Eaeium, a protector of those destined to do great things for mankind. It sounds like an amazing job, except she neither requested nor desired it. Nobody ever asked her what she wanted and she can't turn her back on her duty. She has no help, no idea, no one to turn to, and no hope for a normal future including a family, friends and someone special to love. Until she met him. Will she be the hero she's destined to be or will she take a chance on love? She can't have both. Or can she?
