Overworld Chronicles #13.5
Assignment Zero
IMPOSSIBLY DEAD
When a teenage girl is found dead in a lake of her own blood, it looks like a clear-cut case of death by supernatural causes. But the Synod orders the Templars to stand down, claiming it's a case for the nom police.
Elyssa Borathen, daughter of the Templar commander disagrees. Defying orders and breaking protocols goes against all her Templar training, but leaving that girl's murder unsolved is something she can't live with, even if it means starting her own illegal investigation.
She jumps head-first down the rabbit hole, but her leads only take her deeper into a maze of conspiracies. What seems like one mystery may be several intertwined, with Overworld factions vying for supremacy.
What started with one girl's murder may rock the Overworld foundation to its very core.

Awesome!
Really enjoyed being able to get a peek into past and get a glimpse at the relationship between Elyssa and her brothers. Definitely enjoyed the read and hope another novella will be released in the future.

Elyssa is a Templar in training. All she wants is to be the best, and make her father proud. She is the typical YA character, slightly rebellious, with a disregard for rules when it is called for.
The plot starts with the death of a girl. The Templar bosses call off the investigation. Elyssa is still convinced there is something not normal about the death, so she investigates. She uncovers an underground war, with two opposing factions.
This is a precursor, so I really don’t think any other resolution would have made sense.

A good short story.
With this book we get a bit of background on Elyssa and her Templar training. She also gets assigned her first case to work on and it turns into a black ops situation which thrills her immensely. If you've been reading other books in this series you'll enjoy this one.

Elyssa
She wants daddy's approval so bad. As we already know she is good. It's interesting seeing her interactions with both brothers and seeing the different dynamics with them.
