Silla Ek Mhurkum is just barely a nobleman. One who has very little backing and no prospects. What he does have is knowledge on how to swing a sword, familiarity with military stratagem and a hunger to prove himself. In the Royal Mirlthanian war machine, that has to count for something. Ayanna Wu Kyrian is a woman raised in the shackles of superstion. Ones that have ground her down into an avatar of fury, wit and ambition. Through her keen mind and meager resources, Aya searches for ways to manipulate the meritocracy. Yet when she finally thinks that her days of struggle are over, she's awoken by a frustrating twist of fate. But if something so cheap as fate thinks it can stop her, it is sorely mistaken. From mistake and curse, both Silla and Aya will rise to the heights of legend. *Inspired by Evan Winters "Rage Of Dragons" and Alexey Osadchucks "Last Life".* Cover by: @d0moniqueWrites NOTE: None of this story was written through AI.

Of Shadow and Sin is a dark romantasy filled with soul ties, ancient lore, and a world where almost everyone is supernatural. Vampires, hunters, witches, demons-if it exists in the shadows, it exists here. Mavera's life in the small town of Aspen Hollow is built around her close-knit group of friends and the one person she trusts most: her best friend. But everything changes when his visit home places him at the center of a brutal murder, dragging her into a dangerous world she never knew existed. Soon, Mavera begins having visions of a man who looks exactly like him-but isn't him. A man who starts stalking her from the shadows. As the line between reality and nightmare blurs, she is pulled into another realm entirely, where she meets a third man tied to secrets far older and darker than she could have imagined. Caught between obsession, danger, and forbidden love, Mavera discovers that neither she nor her best friend are truly what she thought-and that even her own family has been hiding the truth. As buried magic awakens inside her, she's forced to unravel who she really is before the supernatural world consuming her destroys everything she loves.

Amara never planned on leaving her small town. She never planned on a new school (Especially in her senior year of highschool), a new city, or a new life where everything moved too fast and everyone already knew everyone except her. She definitely never planned on him. Zane Carter is the kind of boy who owns every hallway he walks into - captain of the football team, the smile that stops conversations, and an infuriating habit of making Amara the target of his teasing, and that, too, the moment she entered the school. She claps back every time. He keeps coming back for more. It starts as banter. It always does. But somewhere between the late-night texts she tells herself mean nothing and the way he looks at her like she's the only new thing in his world worth discovering, Amara realises the problem with unplanned things. They have a way of becoming everything. Some feelings don't wait for permission.
