''Only Echoes Remain'' is an Urban Fantasy novella by A.J. Kalliver.

Set TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture (but in a world which is still reeling from the sudden appearance of magic and magical creatures), the story is told from the point of view of Isa; a somewhat fierce girl living on the streets of Chicago. Being a homeless person is a challenge for Isa, but she has other issues too. For example, there's the thing where she's not actually human....

!!Tropes include:
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Isa fits this to a tee.
* DarkActionGirl
* DarkIsNotEvil: [[spoiler: Isa's true form is a dark and monstrous thing, but she is actually a kind and generous person who tries her best to be good... or at least civil.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: This is what our heroine ''aspires'' to be. When she manages it, those who cross her live to regret it. When she ''doesn't''... they don't.
* IKnowYourTrueName: [[spoiler: A sorcerer who learns of Isa's existence attempts to control her via her true name. While it ''is'' possible for a skilled practitioner of magic to determine the name, the trick is to keep the spirit contained for the requisite period of time.]]
* PerkyGoth: In her lighter moments Isa lands here, though she does occasionally spend time in a slightly darker place.
* SoBeautifulItsACurse: Isa does whine a bit about how being stunningly beautiful makes her day-to-day life more difficult, although in her defense we see that this is indeed sometimes true.
