Shadowmagic Stories

Emiris is the city's deadliest assassin-feared, controlled, and owned by a master whose power runs deeper than blood. She survives by following orders, asking no questions, and never letting anyone get close. Adrian is a legendary gun-for-hire. He answers to no one, trusts even less, and never misses his mark. Freedom is the only thing he refuses to surrender. When a forbidden curse binds their lives together, they become unwilling allies. Every injury one suffers, the other feels. Every heartbeat pulls them closer. And the only way to break the curse? A kiss. But Emiris and Adrian are enemies-trained to destroy, not trust. As ancient magic awakens inside the Sorcerer's tower and deadly secrets unravel, they must decide what's more dangerous: giving in to the curse... or fighting it. Because in a city ruled by power and blood, love isn't soft. It's lethal.

The night she was cast aside, Iris Valtorien did not beg, scream, or curse the crown. She left. Branded unstable. Unfit. Forgotten. Six years later, she returns-not as a discarded wife, but as the Sovereign of the Obsidian Keep, a power the Empire buried two centuries ago. The Crown Prince chose ambition over blood. Now his greatest regret walks the capital in shadows... and his daughter calls him "Your Highness" instead of "Father". In a court ruled by legacy, silence is sharper than steel-and the Night remembers everything

After the fall of the Radiant Crown, Solaris has finally remembered the night. But peace does not follow memory. Beneath the Archive of Broken Suns, six forgotten doors remain sealed. When the first door opens, Caelith Varyn and his companions are pulled into the Drowned Dominion - a realm of black oceans, sunken cities, drowned stars, and voices singing from beneath the waves. The sea has swallowed its moon. Its people survive on floating ruins while something ancient moves below, dragging chains across the ocean floor. The Deep remembers. The drowned do not sleep. And somewhere beneath the black tide, a lost light is waking. With the help of Maris Thalior, a girl who can hear the moon's dying song, Caelith must descend into a realm where shadows become reflections, names can sink, and the ocean itself may be alive. But the Hollow Court is still watching. And the other lights have begun to wake.

The Veil has awakened. After the fall of Noctaryn, the realms believed the nightmare was over. They were wrong. In the golden empire of Solaris, darkness is forbidden, shadows are burned, and anyone touched by the Veil is executed before sunset. Caelith Varyn was raised to become a Sunblade - a sacred warrior sworn to protect the light and destroy every trace of the darkness that nearly ended existence. But when cracks begin to appear in the eternal sky, forgotten realms start calling from beyond the stars, and Caelith begins seeing shadows move in a world where shadows should not exist, everything he believes starts to collapse. The Veil is not dead. The Silence is not gone. And somewhere beyond the forgotten realms, something older than both has begun to wake. Now Caelith must choose between the empire that raised him... and the truth that could destroy it.

Some curses don't just follow you. They *become* you. Dorian Blackwood has lived his entire life haunted - by a shadow that doesn't behave like a shadow should. It watches. It waits. And the moment he thinks he's finally free of it, it comes back with a voice, a form, and a message he was never meant to survive hearing. When a desperate search for answers lands him at Monostrat Academia - an institution that specializes in the one thing the world refuses to talk about - Dorian begins to understand that his curse is far older, far darker, and far more powerful than he imagined. And he's not the only one carrying something in their shadow. There's Lilith. Sharp-tongued, guarded, and hiding a darkness of her own that Dorian can *see* - whether she wants him to or not. But the closer he gets to the truth, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Because some seals were never meant to be broken. Some realms were never meant to be entered. And some things, once awakened, don't stop. *Whisper of Shadow* is a dark fantasy about curses, identity, and the terrifying line between the darkness inside you - and the darkness that *is* you. **If your shadow has ever felt like it was watching you back... you already know how this story ends.**

Her name is written in a cipher four centuries old. Someone knew she was coming. Lila Mira Evryn has spent eleven years as a manuscript analyst for the Veil, the organization that keeps Mournhaven's darkness in balance. She follows their rules. She files her reports. She quietly mourns the twin brother who vanished three years ago and left nothing behind but a fern on her windowsill. Then she finds her own name buried in a forbidden prophecy, hidden in what she catalogued as water damage, and everything she thought she knew about her family, her bloodline, and the organization she serves begins to collapse. The Veil has been using her family for four centuries. Her brother didn't disappear. He made a choice. And the darkness that has lived in her blood her entire life was never hers to begin with. She has eight days before the Veil moves. She needs to decide who to trust, what she's willing to carry, and whether breaking a centuries-old cycle is worth the cost of everything it takes to do it. Some prophecies are warnings. This one was written specifically for her

The blood remembers. The magic returns. The gate is waking. The eight Drieaga siblings have always known they were different-marked by power, connected by something ancient, and bound by a legacy older than the world itself. Elemental force runs in their veins. Psychic echoes stir in their minds. But even they do not know the full truth. Not yet. Deep beneath the ruins of Raelthar, something is stirring. An ancient gate, long thought dormant, begins to tremble once more. Whispers slip into dreams. Shadows move where light should live. And with them come the creatures once lost to myth-fae slipping through cracks in the veil, vampires hunting in twilight alleys, dragons waking beneath the stone, and darker beings that have no name at all. At the centre of it is Auren Drieaga-the eldest, the anchor, the one who hears the gate calling. Its magic twists his, reshaping what he is. But the more he resists, the more it reaches for him... and for his blood. As secrets unravel and tensions rise, an unlikely ally appears-Kaela Veyne, a girl with a forgotten lineage and a gift that can uncover the truth by touch. Her presence threatens to tear the siblings apart-or become the key to holding them together. The world is changing. The curse is waking. And what waits beyond the gate is not content to stay sealed. They were born with power. Now they must decide what they're willing to become to survive it.

Alexandra's life was perfectly ordinary-or so she thought. Her days were filled with wedding preparations for her sister, quiet afternoons hidden away with forbidden books, and unanswered questions about her father's disappearance years ago. But everything changes one fateful night when her curiosity leads her to read from an ancient tome. With a single incantation, she accidentally summons Kael-a devastatingly handsome, dangerously sharp-tongued being who claims he's from the underworld. Kael is a demon, or so he lets her believe. Bound to her by blood and magic, he has no choice but to remain in her world. But his arrival tears open a doorway between realms, unleashing monstrous creatures that hunger for Alexandra and the power the book holds. Now hunted by forces she can't comprehend, Alexandra strikes a risky deal with Kael: he'll protect her from the creatures-and the secrets lurking in the shadows-and she'll help him break free of their bond. But Kael's cryptic remarks about her father and her own hidden heritage force Alexandra to confront a truth she isn't ready for: her bloodline holds power beyond her imagination, and it might be the reason everything is falling apart. With danger closing in, and Kael's own secrets threatening to unravel everything, Alexandra is torn between the magnetic pull she feels toward him and the darkness he seems to embody. Can she trust the demon she summoned to help her find the answers she seeks? Or is Kael leading her into a trap that could destroy not just her, but everything she loves?
