Ryder Samhaln's destiny was set out for her before she was even born. The heir of the Samhaln Family and the future leader of the Banks, she was brought up to follow directly in her mother's footprints. That all changes when she meets Kylan, a young servant for her family. After running away together, they end up at the front door of the Ghostmen, a feared international gang whose members fell from the Nine Clans' good graces. Their leader, Hasan Ayabal, a once kind person with ambiguous morals and a dark past, takes in the two strays. Outside forces, internal fighting, and a large bounty over Hasan's, Kylan's and Ryder's heads threaten to tear Ryder away from the freedom she tasted. Taking a group of Ghostmen with her, she discovers a dark sin that her seemingly godlike parents have committed. Threatened, alone, and with no one to help her, Ryder has to right the wrongs that she, her family, and those who came before her before her life crumbles.

SHADOWS
~Footage by Vecteezy.com.~ [https://www.vecteezy.com/free-photos] My first book so if you're not into cringes, please scroll. I'm not deleting this. Darlan, the Footstep of the Souls, has spent her life in the shadows of violence, reveling in the ecstasy of bloodshed. As a Varua, she thrives on the destruction she causes, seeing life and death as one big game. Her heart has always been cold, her attachments nonexistent, and her actions driven by instinct. Execution attempts are just another thrill for her-until her latest one goes awry. Thrown into a prison for the most dangerous criminals, Darlan crosses paths with Lex, a fellow Varua whose presence stirs something unfamiliar within her. As they escape together, Darlan finds herself caught in a whirlwind of confusion and reluctant introspection. She starts questioning everything she's known-about power, loyalty, and the sudden stirrings of emotions she can't seem to control. But there's more to Darlan than even she knows. Beneath the bloodlust and brutality, a deeper mystery looms over her origin, one that could change everything. And as she navigates a path fraught with enemies and growing doubts, Darlan comes to realize that perhaps the true ecstasy isn't in the kill, but in something much more profound-the bonds she never thought she could form. With the mystery of her origin and the legends behind her past catching up to her and her heart questioning its own desires, Darlan must face the truth of who she really is before it's too late. {Novel's word count••Over 100,000 words} [Book cover credits to Vecteezy.com]Complete
