In the background of contemporary New York City, there exists a world beyond this world. This is a world where magical creatures exist, where the true powers behind the thrones manipulate world governments to their own liking. This is a world as enchanting as it is terrifying, ruled by greed, vanity, vengeance, and the most basic human emotions.
Welcome to The Shadow Kingdom.
***********************************
Scarlett Whitmore is an unassuming, eighteen-year-old college student. Everything about her life is decidedly mundane except for one aspect - she has the supernatural ability to control ice and water. She has lived in secret with this ability her entire life, unaware of its origins or meaning.
All that changes the day that she meets Adrian Shang. He is tall, dark, handsome, and like her - supernatural. He introduces her to an entire civilization of supernatural beings, living secretly yet in plain sight all around us. Forces from all across the Shadow Kingdom conspire to utilize Scarlett for their own selfish gains, and Scarlett is plunged into a world of conspiracy and political intrigue.
Forces of love, hatred, honour, pettiness, virtue, and vice all collide, bringing the mysterious Shadow Kingdom to light.

Our Silent Vows
She was mine long before she knew it. I had been raised in shadows, in a world where power was survival and choice was an illusion. But then there was her. She slipped into my life unexpectedly and defiantly, her eyes too bright for a town like this one. She was unafraid of what lay beneath the surface, thinking she could walk away and resist the pull. But every step she took only bound her tighter to me. She was delicate but stubborn, fierce enough to face what others ran from, even if she didn't fully see it yet. She was the only thing I had ever chosen. I would break anything to keep her, everything, even her illusions of freedom. Because in a world that offered no choices, she became my one certainty. I will carve that truth into the world, with blood, if I have to. R.

His Ruthless Temptation
I saw her long before she saw me. She didn't know then that her fate had already been sealed, that every step she took was drawing her closer to me. Closer to what she would become. There was something in her-something fragile, something wild. A fear she tried to hide, wrapped in defiance and confidence. It was intoxicating, watching her, knowing that no one else could see what I saw. No one else could feel the pull like I did. The slow, deliberate unraveling of her world as it would soon be tethered to mine. I felt my heart beat once, hard and fast. It was the only signal I needed. She would be mine-not in some fleeting, hollow way. No. I would strip away every shield, every defense, until she was laid bare, body and soul. And when she looked at me for the first time, I knew. She was already mine. A. Trigger Warning ⚠️: This story contains intense and graphic content, exploring dark and disturbing themes that may be triggering for some readers.
