Magic is just illusion... they say but isn't Science the art of giving an excuse for every simple activity of life?
Your answer is probably 'no' or unlikely 'yes'. Anyway, it really does not matter since the basic idea is life still accelerates uniformly towards death.
The shadow is a turning point of art utilised to capture the negligible issues in life and how they level out to construct the luxury of laying out life's complexity.Simply... The Shadow is about creating a galaxy from an ant-hill.
Davinci Clodes is at the peak of his career but as a magician he presses his research too far... as a result pure evil rises from his hardwork, evil which Clodes himself doubts if his is powerful enough to reverse.The story consists of love, death, magic and so much more ensuring it to be an interesting novel for you.

As the Crow Falls | ✔
Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

The Living Shadow: Phantom Heart
He was just an ordinary boy living an ordinary life... until the shadow found him. ******** Not a darkness to fear, not a curse to bear, but a presence older than humanity itself, born from the deepest corners of the Earth. It has existed quietly, unseen, unnoticed, until now. The shadow entered him, and suddenly nothing was the same. It doesn't hurt him, but he cannot tell what it wants-or why it chose him. Its whispers, its movements, its presence are a mystery, and he must learn to live with something he cannot understand. As days pass, the boy begins to notice the world differently: hidden patterns, quiet truths, and glimpses of a reality no one else can see. With every heartbeat, the shadow remains, silent yet undeniable, a presence that changes everything without ever causing harm. In a story of mystery, wonder, and unseen bonds, he will discover that some companions are not meant to be understood, some hearts are never truly alone, and some shadows have always been part of the world-waiting.

Monroe Taylor: The Half-Blood Prince and the Secrets of the Never Realms.
On the night of his sixteenth birthday, Monroe Taylor discovers the truth his father has hidden his whole life-he is the forbidden son of a Psionic princess and a mortal, the half-blood named in an ancient prophecy. When shadow assassins descend on his home, Monroe is thrust into the Never Realms and sent to Blackstone Academy, where rival magical covens train side by side-and where his powers refuse to follow the rules. Struggling to control psionic, elemental, shadow, and transmutation magic all at once, Monroe becomes a living paradox. Some see him as hope, others as disaster waiting to happen. The council whispers of a prophecy that promises unity or destruction, and enemies circle, determined to stop him before he can discover which. As secrets unravel, Monroe must navigate treacherous politics, forbidden histories, and the constant threat of betrayal. The Boundary Stones-ancient artifacts capable of draining entire covens-resurface in dangerous hands, and the balance of the realms hangs on a knife's edge. Hunted, doubted, and torn between destiny and choice, Monroe must decide if he will become the weapon everyone fears-or the bridge the realms never believed could exist. Because in a world divided by magic and bloodlines, one half-blood prince could tip everything toward salvation...or ruin. [The book is finished, going through editing. I'm looking to publish in stores and online soon. I probably won't post the whole book on here just the first half. I hope you enjoy reading.]
