Cityscape Series 2 confirmed

General
Hello, Everyone!
I've thought about continuing Cityscape after the Civil War arch, and I now know I will. The first 15 books will be merely the 1st Series. The second series will be called Reclamation and will feature a post-apocalyptic version of Eden after the humans return to ravish a weakened planet. But, as the dust settles survivors begin to rise and amongst them is one who has the blood of the Gods and Keepers and greatest heroes running through her veins. Laura Aleksandra Zarubin. And here is her little clip:
She sat in a dim room with only a single, pale yellow light source directly above her. A makeshift bag of various materials that seemed almost to go with her thick leather and cloth clothing. They had captured her while she slumbered as she was seemingly unarmed and now, it was hard to tell with the hood if she was awake or not. There was an odd caution as the door to the room she was in opened and a scent of human flesh hit her nose. "What is your name?" demanded a masculine voice that was answered with silence. "What were you doing in the Noble District?" Still no answer.
Her captor brought a hand across the side of her face. That was the last bit of information she needed. He wasn't all that strong. And he was all alone with her in a small room. No cameras. Not even any guards outside the room. "You will learn to cooperate or…"
Without a moment's hesitation, the woman in the chair swung an unusually large hand from where it was supposed to be handcuffed behind the chair and slammed it into the man's neck as she stood. "Or what? You'll hit me again?" she growled, her voice a little deeper than his. "You don't even know who I am and you think you can take me?" With this she slammed him hard against the wall, nearly knocking him out.
Around her other wrist was what remained of the handcuffs. They jangled as she brought her free hand up to the bag on her head. Removing it, she revealed a hood that further hid her form. "Would you really like to know who I am? Or do you want me to leave you here stupid to wallow in your pissed pants?"
Her grasp on his neck wasn't too strong, so he could answer her question. "Who...what are you?"
An unseen smile crossed her lips. "Ah. Finally a human with some brains," she said, a light Russian accent becoming audible. Tossing the bag to the side, her free hand came up to her hood and pulled it back to reveal a very scarred silver and black wolf face. Her fur color, though, was hard to determine entirely. Her right eye seemed be a little milky and a different color compared her left. The color of each eye was nearly impossible to make sure of. But, it was easy to see her red hair brought back in a ponytail and her clean, sharp, white teeth in her smile. She lacked a left ear, a scar crossed her good eye but not her bad one. Her good ear had notches taken from it. Faintly, just barely visible is a long scar across her neck. Even only her face was visible, the man could easily tell she had seen much much combat and had obviously come away at least alive if not the victor. "My name is Laura Aleksandra Zarubin. Descendant of Night Wind, Hydrophobia, Thermite, Snow Stone and Ultima. I have the blood of all three of the Magic families running in my veins as well as the Gods of Eden. You burned my friends and my family to the ground around me and yet I remained unscathed. You may call me Zirnitra. I am the most powerful Keeper ever to walk this planet. And do you know what my Resonance is?"
Fear had begun the fill the man's eyes as soon as he saw her face. Hearing her name nearly made him literally piss himself and he could barely muster up the strength to shake his head. "It is everything," To demonstrate her power, the handcuff on her right wrist melted away, the hinges of the door fell off and the door itself shot through the room taking out the chair and the walls began to crumble away as if afraid of this wolf. "But I will not kill you, human. No. I will leave you alive. Give your boss a message: your silly pathetic reign of Eden is over. The Reclamation has started. And the Dragon Goddess is it's leader."
With that, Laura dropped the man and replaced her robe before simply walking out of the building, the walls crumbling away around her. Halfway down the hall, the rocks suddenly stopped crumbling and just as suddenly as the chaos around him began, it was over. As he crawled to the destroyed doorway, he looked down the hall to see more men running towards him in only to pause halfway to gawk at the destruction. Laura had vanished into the thin air.
