The year is 2263. Seventy-five percent of the Earth’s surface is covered in cities, and it is in the twisted labyrinth of Melbourne’s streets that a shadow prowls. A shadow that doesn’t belong on Earth. A shadow that doesn’t belong to this Plane of Existence.

When Rhiali Dawnstrider saves freelance reporter Luca Nateson from death at the hands of the formidable drug dealer, Arthur Donovan, she doesn’t realise that his insatiable curiosity might risk her very existence.

Luca Nateson is intrigued by the mysterious woman that saved him from Arthur Donovan. He’s almost certain that she is the Shadow, a vigilante and assassin who can never be caught. He knows he’s got the story of a lifetime but as he begins to delve deeper he realises that there’s no turning back.

The story of a woman who’s always been alone and the man who’s determined to free her heart.

"You're a Shifter." This caught me off-guard. A Shifter? I had heard of them, thieves and criminals that are able to shift to the Other Realm using shadows. Seventeen-year-old Adaria Feur is extremely confused when she wakes up in a room with no memory of how she got there, no memory of the powers everyone keeps telling her she has, and not a clue of how to survive a prestigious academy that is actually training teens into becoming agents for a secret organization called F.E.A.R. However, the thing that worries her most is the pair of amber eyes she keeps seeing in her dreams. They're so beautiful, familiar, warm... but dangerous. And she knows that they hold her whole world, whether she likes it or not.

"Nephilims" That's what they're called, beings that protect the mundane world from demons, beings that are half-angel and half-human. They only have one task, and that's to keep all demons at bay until the time arrives where they can slaughter all demon-kind. Ophelia Morgenstern is a shadowhunter who can't seem to get through a day without making a sarcastic remark. She's undoubtedly one of the best at what she does, but she's also the daughter of the most wanted man in the Shadow World. Alec Lightwood is a brooding shadowhunter with the tendencies of following the rules no matter what. He basically lives his life on the saying, "Sed lex, dura lex." which means "The law is hard, but it is the law." They've known each other for practically their whole lives, and they have always felt a burst of emotions around one another, but with the arrival of the "new" shadowhunter, their whole world flips on its back. With everything that's going on around them, will they gain sight of the feelings they truly have for one another?

The Sun & the Shadows that Bind, Book One of the Sky Runner Collective by dkdubois
11 parts Ongoing Mature
In "The Sun & the Shadows that Bind", a fractured world teeters on the edge of chaos. The gods have vanished and dark creatures run rampant, leaving mortals to grapple with the lingering echoes of their power and the encroaching threat of the Void, a dark force that corrupts everything it touches. Gideon la Fey, a brash young gladiator with the flames of the Void coursing through his veins, fights for more than survival in the brutal coliseums of New Theos. He dreams of rising above his station, proving his worth to a city that sees him as nothing more than a dangerous outsider. But when his ambition collides with ancient forces and shadowy conspiracies, Gideon finds himself drawn into a battle far greater than any he's faced in the arena. Guided by unlikely allies, Gideon must confront the fire within himself to stand against a growing darkness. As champions rise and factions clash, the line between light and shadow blurs, and Gideon learns that the greatest battles are not fought with strength alone but with the choices that define a soul. In this epic tale of power, betrayal, and redemption, the question is not whether Gideon can wield the flames of the Void, but whether he can master them before they consume everything he holds dear. Will the rising sun bring hope-or cast longer shadows?
