Shadow And Flame V2

In the city of Altor, two worlds collide. Above, the nobles of the Seven Houses rule Glatith from marble halls and glittering towers, guarding their power as fiercely as their bloodlines. Below, in the shadows beneath the streets, the Five Families of the Undercity control what the light cannot reach. A hundred years ago, an uneasy peace was forged between them. Now, something ancient stirs beneath both city and stone, something that threatens to tear Altor apart. Caught between these worlds are Elena Falmil, a noble bound by duty, and Jake Lockvery, a criminal who thrives in the dark. Their forbidden friendship has remained hidden… until they uncover the truth behind the growing threat. As danger rises, so do their feelings, for each other, and for a future neither of their worlds would allow. To survive, they must navigate politics, secrets, and a bond that could destroy them both. (This is a rewritten version of my orginal story, think of it as another draft of it. The reason I started to post my first draft was to help me learn while also motivating me, knowing I could do something. So I hope you guys enjoy the new and improved version of my story.)
