There is a world existing and living in a symmetrical dimension and system that seldom comes in touch with the human one. It is a world of shadows, of darkness, of wicked sprites and malicious spirits, ruled by violent and dangerous laws and governors. A vicious and violence-lusting new creature challenges the Lady of Shadows' realm, and it cannot be killed nor destroyed by her powers, magic or sword. Only one is destined to this fight: a broken human being named Conor with a difficult past of drugs addiction and a precarious present. A journey of challenges, struggles, magic, dark sentiments, damnation or redemption is laid before Conor and he has one choice only, if he wishes to go back to his own world. But does he really wish so? This story is written for The Open Novella Contest in the genre of Fantasy.

One of, if not the best paradox novels I've had the good fortune to read. An incredibly well written work... -MarkTaylor281 A beautiful and powerful story unlike any I've ever read... -Ddruid Finished the whole book on the edge of my seat, absolutely brilliant and amazing original story... -batikhaz Simply daunting. I personally think this is the most mature [and] highest quality work here on Wattpad. -Oyumaa Since the mysterious closed timelike curve appeared above the world of Cassidian, nothing has come in or out of it. So when an innership emerges from the celestial cloud and crashes on the beaches of the Still, a Hunion courier named Anon Selfe is sent to investigate. When he lands, he finds the blood and footprints of the only survivor leading away from the wreckage. But inside there is someone else awaiting him in the darkness: his own dead body. What follows is Anon's desperate chase up through the tiers of Cassidian to find the survivor of the crash - a young woman named Myria who is unyielding in her belief that she knows Anon from her past. The only problem is that she claims to be from a world called Nahi, which is not known to exist.

Catherine Spicks is perfectly sane. However, no one seems to believe this besides her four feline friends: Midnight, Stormcloud, Blizzard and Flame. Unfortunately, no one can hear Cat's furry friends talking besides Cat herself. Just before Cat's nineteenth birthday, she moves from her parents' cozy, well-kept cottage to her Grandmother's sprawling, half-ruined mansion. She insists on bringing the four cats with her. There, at the Spicks Mansion, Cat and her felines find themselves battling a malevolent force. Cat begins to realize that her small family is not who she thought. She barely knows them. More importantly, she barely knows herself. © All Rights Reserved Joanna Jadoo
