Nora has been robbed of her past, her identity wiped clean, leaving only questions in its place. Who is she? Where does she belong? And why does everyone around her seem intent on keeping the truth buried? Armed with fragments of memories and an unyielding determination, she embarks on a journey to uncover the secrets that hold her captive. But the path to the truth is fraught with peril. As the world around her warps and twists in unfamiliar ways, Noreena must navigate a maze of deception, danger, and shadowy figures. Trust is a fragile commodity, and betrayal lurks in every corner. The boy who stirs feelings she cannot ignore becomes her reluctant ally, yet even he harbors mysteries of his own. As Nora delves deeper, she realizes this isn't just about her lost memories-it's about a world unraveling in chaos, a conspiracy that could shatter everything. With enemies closing in and allies disappearing, the stakes have never been higher. Will she find the answers she desperately seeks, or will the truth be her undoing? A gripping tale of identity, betrayal, and resilience, Shadowed is a journey of self-discovery in a world where nothing is as it seems and no one can be fully trusted.

Stolen away as a child, Erinne has spent her life as a slave to the orcs, a race that has been at war with humans for as long as she can remember. However, times are changing and the new Great Chieftain has forbidden the keeping of slaves in a bid to bring peace with the humans. Being freed is only the beginning. She struggles to find her place in the world as humans no longer accept her for being too "orcish" and orcs find her too human.
