There is a world existing and living in a symmetrical dimension and system that seldom comes in touch with the human one. It is a world of shadows, of darkness, of wicked sprites and malicious spirits, ruled by violent and dangerous laws and governors.
A vicious and violence-lusting new creature challenges the Lady of Shadows' realm, and it cannot be killed nor destroyed by her powers, magic or sword. Only one is destined to this fight: a broken human being named Conor with a difficult past of drugs addiction and a precarious present.
A journey of challenges, struggles, magic, dark sentiments, damnation or redemption is laid before Conor and he has one choice only, if he wishes to go back to his own world. But does he really wish so?

Born of light and darkness, he must choose which side to embrace-or lose everything he holds dear. Eighteen-year-old Lucian Saintord has spent his life shrouded in whispers and suspicion. As the head of his noble house, he's expected to marry, protect his family, and maintain the fragile legacy of House Saintord. But Lucian hides a secret that even the boldest nobles dare not speak aloud: the dark powers coursing through his veins are a gift from his true father, the Shadow King. When shadow creatures begin breaching the borders of his realm, Lucian's secret is exposed, and he's cast out by the very society he sought to protect. Forced to ally with Vivienne Arkwright, a fierce knight of the Shadow King, Lucian embarks on a journey into the Shadowlands-a realm of chaos and danger-to uncover the truth behind the growing attacks. As tensions between the Shadowlands and the human world rise, Lucian must grapple with his identity, the weight of his mother's tragic legacy, and the undeniable pull of his father's dark throne. But the balance between the realms demands sacrifice, and Lucian must decide: will he fight for the light that rejects him or embrace the darkness that calls him home? In a world where chaos is balance and peace is a lie, Lucian's choice will determine the fate of two realms-and his own soul.

ASORA: From The Blood Of The Shadows by rinaXhazurina

FORMER TITLE: Élan: A Youngblood World "Beware that you become not the very monster you ought to slay." Five friends embark on a quest to prevent an approaching cryptid-human war. Meanwhile, the human-clothed creature among them resists the hunger to ravage his companions. In a world where magic holds the essence to life, there is still no telling where fate determines your place will be. When the Cardinal Empire of Nyrhaea and its time-forsaken creatures declare war on the human world, an immortal dark entity in the guise of a human, a grieving swordsman, an electric-manipulating technocrat, an unhinged fire-breathing boy, and a magic-less girl whose very existence defies the Laws of Mahika, venture to stop the prophecied, apocalyptic world war. All the while dealing with the complications of entering adulthood. With the grotesque inside him growing hungrier by the day, threatening him of the looming hour to fulfill destiny's bidding to be the key to the end of the world--and death is an impossible remedy to attain--the entity resorts to a mysterious girl who could only be his last hope to achieve freedom from the shackles of fate. An antidote given not without an undefined price. But how long can he endure to bury the roots of the calling past? And what are they willing to risk to liberate a cruel world beyond saving that hangs in the state of trust and sanity? *~* Contains a few depictions of blood, violence, and eldritch elements.
