Living in the war-worn city of Antham presents its own issues, but falling ill with a potentially deadly and contagious disease is not one of them for her.

HOUSE OF SHADOWS: SHADOWS WITHIN [ON EDITING] by snowashea

To: The Storyteller From: Maeve "Evie" Stone Dear Storyteller, I never imagined my life would change so completely when I accepted the restoration project at Ashwood Manor. Do you remember the article about it? The haunted house with the enigmatic billionaire owner? Well, let me tell you the whispers didn't even scratch the surface. The manor itself is alive. I know how that sounds, but every creaking floorboard and flickering candle seemed to echo secrets, some about him, the brooding man who owns the place, and some about me. It started with a series of strange dreams. Labyrinths. Mirrors. A shadow I couldn't escape. And oh, when I met him at first, I didn't trust him. I wasn't sure I trusted myself around him, either. But as we uncovered the manor's past together, the walls between us and within ourselves began to crumble. This isn't just a story about a haunted house, though it has plenty of that. It's about confronting fears...my fear of commitment, of loving and being loved, and his fear of forgiveness. Together, we unraveled the labyrinth that held Ashwood in its grip, freed the ghosts of the past, and built something entirely new. I wish you could visit. He and I are planning an exhibit to share the journals and artifacts we discovered. It's our way of honoring those who came before us and making peace with the past. I thought I was going to Ashwood to rebuild walls. Instead, I rebuilt myself. Hoping you come visit soon. You won't believe it until you see it. With love, Evie

The Shorekeeper by jknocturne

Cassian Vale was once a sailor-maybe a smuggler, maybe a wreck diver, maybe a fugitive. His memories are fractured, glimpses of sea spray, fire, hands slipping beneath waves, and a woman's voice singing as the world went black. He carries deep grief, though he doesn't yet know its source. There's someone he failed to save. Someone whose voice still echoes in his dreams. His last true memory is of a storm that shouldn't have existed. In truth, he's been here before. He died once-washed into the sea, body broken, soul scattered. The siren sang him back. Or maybe the sea did. Either way, he doesn't remember dying. Just the drowning. - The locals call it Saint's Rest, a place whispered about in dying breaths and near-drowning hallucinations. A place where you go when you're running-from the world, from your past, from yourself. You're found by a woman who sings to the sea. They say she's one of the Saltwater Saints-beings chosen by the ocean, touched by something older than gods. But she's no witch. She's something far more dangerous. She is a siren, cursed-or blessed-to walk among humans. She has a voice that can command, seduce, or destroy. She trades music for memories. Her presence quiets storms... or summons them. And for reasons she doesn't explain, she helps you.
