This Dmc fanfic is dedicated to all fellow dmc fanfic writers out there! I want to thank you all for making such awesome stories about Dante and the Dmc characters, and the best way to thank was to well, just write another fanfic! (oh, the irony!) Living with Dante would seem easy at first thought. After all, all he did was eat pizzas, turn down lousy calls with no password, and bicker with a ten-year old Patty Lowell. But it turns out, living with him is like hell itself. Maybe if you were just a stranger, looking for a job at Devil May Cry, or simply a place to stay, then living with Dante wouldn't seem so bad. But how bad would it be, if you were someone from another world, with the same face? How would it be if you were tortured by Devil May Cry fans, and forced to cosplay into Dante's twin, and end up being mistaken to be Vergil -by Dante himself? How would things turns out, if you were stuck in another parallel world, as Vergil, while you killed demons when all you have done before this was... drink and have fun? Such is the story of Damon Kries. Such is the story of the man cursed to Living With Dante.

The Shadowbearer is made to be a stand alone of sorts and a prelude to Etchings of Power. Etchings and the other books that follow are told from different POVs than the Shadowbearer. They are all part of the interconnected worlds of the Cyclic Omniverse that currently spans 8 books. You can start with any series in the Omniverse. Now, to the blurb: In a world where magic corrupts and kingdoms constantly war, the power that drives the world stirs. It whispers promises of greatness in the heads of the men and women that wield it. Now, it has spoken to the mind of a king. Knight Commander Stefan Dorn, leader of the Unvanquished, has known only war, death and, victory. All in the name of his loyalty to King Nerian the Lightbearer, a man he idolized. Until now. Everything he thought he knew about the King, his people, and his world is coming to an end. At a time when there should be peace, he's once again called to war. Torn between shocking changes at home, his family, loyalty to his men and his King, Stefan wishes only to enjoy life away from the battlefield. But with the new campaign comes a rabid, unforgiving enemy and a potential cataclysm. Follow him as he fights to save his family, his people, his honor, and his birthright from the grips of the shade. Can he save them all? If not, which will he choose, which will he lose? The Shadowbearer is a rousing and engaging prequel to Etchings of Power and a worthy addition to the Aegis of the Gods series. Also free on Amazon, Itunes, and Kobo.
