EXCERPT:
"But-but I don't understand," I say, confusion clear in my voice.
"Oh Kate Kate. Naive oblivious Kate." He chuckles darkly. "Don't you understand? The war has begun. I'd run if I were you. The shadows are coming."
Light. Dark. Good. Bad. Pure. Evil. What are these you may ask. They are opposing forces. They are always battling. Neither giving up. Each fighting for control.
For eons good has prevailed. Every single time. Winning all the battles. But not defeating. No never that. Just keeping it at bay.
But things are changing. Good is faltering, growing weaker. There is talk on the streets. Darkness is getting stronger. They have recruited a new ally. One that will defeat light once and for all. Permanently. Leaving the world to the abyss of darkness.
Stories always have the best endings. Happy endings. Love. Laughter. Life. Never pain. Never heartbreak. And never, NEVER betrayal. Tales are always about finding true happiness.
This one is about shadows.

Eclipse: SHADOW of the Last Dawn
Hi, I'm Happiness, and I'm 18. This novel - Eternal Shadows - is my first story, the beginning of my journey as a writer. I've always been inspired by anime - the way it turns ordinary moments into something magical, and how characters fight monsters, loneliness, fear, and hope. I first imagined Kael, a silver-haired boy standing in a quiet field under the stars, and I knew I had to bring him to life. Writing this book wasn't easy, but every word is a piece of my heart, my dreams, and my love for stories that make you feel. Kael's journey - of light, shadow, friendship, and destiny - mirrors the struggles we all face: learning who we are and finding the courage to protect what matters. Thank you for stepping into this world with me. Even in the darkest shadow, there's always light waiting to be found. - Happiness (18, First-Time Author, Anime Soul)
The Dark Lord's Kiss for the Pure Virgin Girl! 🦇🖤
Lara, in this magical and enchanting world, nothing is a lie! So believe in fairy tales. This was the phrase my mother whispered to me every night with her gentle voice. When she read the story of "Jack and the Beanstalk," I would always curiously ask: • But why don't I have a magic bean that can take me wherever I want? She would smile kindly and keep hope alive in my heart. We all believed in magic and wizards as children, fairy tales, and Little Red Riding Hood! I wished I would never know the bitter taste of reality. But years after her death, I faced the harsh reality of the world; a reality I had always tried to escape. After my mother's death, her voice remained with me, inviting me to the bright world of hope; unlike many who grew up and no longer believed in any childish dreams. But I remained faithful to stories and the land of fairies, believing that destiny awaits us all! We are born into different tales and live with love. However, the bitterness of the world ensnared me in its grip. Just when I was only nine years old, I became acquainted with the bitter reality of life; when the snowy night arrived! I had never seen snow so terrifying and ugly. Because my mother was in bed, coughing up blood and taking her last breaths. A tiny bit of white snow had fallen from my woolen boots onto the ground, and when her hand hung limp, droplets of blood dripped from her fingers onto the snow, turning it red.
The Weight of Whispers
Rumours haunt Iris like shadows - twisting who she is into something cruel and unrecognisable. She doesn't know where they started. But they're spreading fast. And things are only getting worse. With only two people by her side - Isaac, steady and kind, and Jules, always sweet - Iris clings to the little trust she has left. Then she's paired with River - the popular guy with a reputation for being cold and careless. She expects nothing good. Instead, something shifts. But trust is fragile. And when betrayal cuts deeper than words, Iris is left questioning everything-and everyone. Life can fall apart in an instant. Sometimes, the person you lean on... is the one you never saw coming. Trigger Warning: This book contains themes of bullying, emotional abuse, mental health struggles, trauma recovery, and the death of a loved one. Reader discretion is advised. This is my first piece of work, so please don't hate it too much and feel free to leave any comments.Complete

The Heir of Ashes
"When fire meets shadow, the world will bleed. Some say it will be reborn. Others pray they are already dead before it comes." The world was built on war. The Firebloods, born of flame, burned their empires into ash. The Shadowbloods, born of void, drowned kingdoms in silence. Their hatred carved scars across the earth, and from their endless slaughter rose a single curse: "When fire meets shadow, the world will bleed." Elara is that curse made flesh. Daughter of both fire and shadow, she is hunted as an abomination, whispered of as the prophecy's heir-the one who will either unite the bloodlines... or destroy everything that remains. But fate does not break gently. Betrayal delivers her into the hands of those who will chain her, burn her, and try to break her. And when salvation comes, it wears the face of her sworn enemy: a Shadow Prince whose devotion is as terrifying as it is consuming. He would burn the world for her. He might already be doing it. Bound by prophecy, haunted by blood, and stalked by a love that is as dark as war itself, Elara must decide whether she is the weapon the world fears... or the fire that will turn prophecy to ash.

Now caught between the sister she loves and the man she's come to care for, Thandi must make an impossible choice - one that will teach her that even innocence comes with a price. In a world of power, secrets, and ruthless ambition, every choice has consequences. Loyalties will be tested, hearts will be broken, and betrayal lurks in the most unexpected places.
