Secretsintheshadows Stories

Twenty-five years ago, the Lost Realm was erased from existence. Once a powerful dominion within the Interfold-a network of six parallel worlds-it sought to claim control over all realms, igniting a devastating war. Now, only five realms remain, bound together by a fragile peace. Every year, a grand festival is held to celebrate the war's end and the unity of the surviving worlds. But Elias Rune has never believed the official story. Born in the Elemental Domain, a realm where people wield the classical elements-fire, water, earth, and air-Elias grew up questioning the gaps in history. The Lost Realm's downfall is shrouded in secrecy, dismissed by teachers, and debated in whispers. Some say the Lost Realm was a mistake, an anomaly that should never have existed. Others claim the powerless Zero Realm-home to ordinary humans-conspired to bring it down out of jealousy. When the festival begins, Elias can't shake the feeling that something is shifting. As she reunites with his brother Max and his brother's best friend, Draven, both elite warriors in the Elemental army, he starts to unravel a truth buried beneath decades of deception. The Interfold is not as stable as it seems, and the past is not as distant as they were led to believe. Because the Lost Realm may not be as lost as everyone thinks. And if the truth emerges from the shadows, the peace they fought so hard to protect may come crashing down.
