When her parents tell her they will no longer help her financially, Yuri has no idea how she’ll survive on her own. BUT THEN Yuri meets an elderly man who makes her an offer to be the successor of his company. She agrees, thinking he was joking. But it wasn’t a joke, and now everything’s changed. Soon, Yuri becomes entangled with one of Japan’s most notorious crime families and trains to be their leader.”
This young adult novel is recommended for ages 16 and older.
After the first volume of “Cobalt Blue” is made available in its entirety on Kindle Vella, ebook versions and a print version will follow.
“Cobalt Blue” is the second book from Vic’s Lab, LLC, that is being distributed as a timed exclusive on Kindle Vella, a website for serialized content. The first book to be available on the platform is “Alpha Squad – Vecto: Virtue” by Reid Kemper, the final book in the Vecto trilogy.
Unlike “Cobalt Blue,” which is being posted bimonthly as full chapters, “Alpha Squad – Vecto: Virtue” is being posted weekly on Fridays in bite-sized episodes as a BitNovel®. More than 50 episodes are already available on the platform. A summary of the first two books also is provided due to the length of time since the last volume was published.
The decision to make “Alpha Squad – Vecto: Virtue” available as a BitNovel® was made as Kemper got his start by posting in that format on another platform for the first book in the series, “Alpha Squad – Vecto: Vengeance,” before publishing rights were acquired by Vic’s Lab, LLC. It’s sequel is titled “Alpha Squad – Vecto: Voyage.”
The first two books in the series is available as an ebook omnibus titled “Alpha Squad – Vecto: Vengeance + Voyage” on VicsLab.com at www.vicslab.com/product/vectoset and on other platforms such as Amazon (getbook.at/VectoSet).
