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.

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.
