Emily Summers hadn't really expected her whole life to flip around in just a day.
She doesn't know what to believe when the ghost of a dead friend starts appearing in front of her, claiming that she is a part of the prophecy of the Shadow World.
Shadow World, a world below the Earth where shadows reside. There is no Heaven and Hell, no angels and demons. Just Shadows.
Shadow World is a place where everyone's shadow lives. A shadow isn't a plain black figure that appears and disappears with light. It is a living thing with a similar face and body but completely different life.
And when Emily is told that only she is the one on whom both worlds, Shadow and Earth, depend, she chooses to believe it.
As she goes on a life threatening journey, it's not only the key to save the worlds that she finds. She finds love, family and most importantly, herself.

The Greylands: Modern Edition
A land of shadows, of mystery, of obfuscated Truth. Welcome to the Greylands, that strange world, within the bounds of Time, peopled by mortal men. We cannot see truly, only as through a glass, darkly. There are things that move and have their being completely beyond our ability to perceive them. There are things beyond our mortal ability to comprehend. There are hints and glimmers hidden within the body of revealed Truth, but there is much we do not know, cannot yet understand, and could never dare dream. These stories are mere fancy, with a seed of Truth at their core. They play with the ideas of mortality and Eternity, Time and things beyond it, and of course the epic battle of Good against Evil. Each stands alone, and though there are common themes, threads, names, and concepts, each story is an entity unto itself and should not be seen as occurring in the same world or mistaken for installments of a series. These are random musings, not Gospel Truth, and should not be taken as such. Joy, hope, and encouragement are hopefully a byproduct, but certainly not sound Theology. If you would know more of the true world beyond these Greylands, one must be a careful student of the Scriptures, not of silly stories such as these. While still fairytales, these stories are set in modern surroundings rather than the land of Faerie! Each story is unique unto itself, and doesn't reference any other story, world or character elsewhere.Complete

Eden's Eclipse
Rael Thorne was never meant to ascend. A rogue knight with a past as fractured as the illusions he wields, he has always been an outsider among the celestial warriors of Eden. But when the abyss comes for him, it does not take his life. Instead, it takes his heart. And yet... he still breathes. The divine halls of Valkyria Academy have fallen, overrun by an unfathomable darkness that Eden's warriors could not stop. Forced into exile, the surviving Archangels and Valkyrie knights retreat to Avalon, where druids weave life into the land itself. But even in the sanctuary of the wilds, Rael is an impossibility-a man who should be dead, carrying something unseen in the empty space where his heart once was. Something only the darkness can recognize. As whispers in a forgotten tongue begin to speak clearly in his mind, Rael realizes he is no longer the man he once was. The very warriors who once stood at his side now watch him with suspicion, none more than Aetheriel, the Frostbound Archangel, who believes Rael should have been executed the moment he survived. But even Aetheriel cannot deny the truth-Rael's survival was no accident. Something ancient has chosen him. Something terrible has already begun. And as Heralds of the abyss awaken, whispering of a prophecy long buried in time, Rael must answer the question that haunts them all: Was he spared to save Eden? Or to end it? A dark epic fantasy of celestial warfare, eldritch horror, and the thin line between fate and damnation. Fans of morally complex heroes, divine magic, and the creeping dread of the unknown will find themselves drawn into a world where light and darkness have never been more uncertain.
