They warned us not to use dark magic, but I was never one to listen. Stygian, they call it. Some say it was magic borne of the stars, like each of us. Others claimed that it came from the umbra. I can't be sure of its exact origin, but I do know that they were right about one thing: it comes with a cost. You may not know what debt you owe to the Stygian until it comes to collect. Because make no mistake, the Stygian will take what is owed, whether you give it or not. Everyone is born with a fate, and everyone must fulfill it. Many try to stop their fate from taking course, but the Gods above never let anyone slip through the cracks. I was an archer, a common girl in a common family, until one day I did the very thing that had once been deemed impossible: I defied my fate. But then the Stygian came to collect what was owed. There are monsters that hunt these lands, that hide on the outskirts of every kingdom and in between borderlines, and they are not kind. I am one with the monsters now. And when I walk into the darkness, they welcome me. There is only one other like me; the shadow king. They told me not to go near him; but we are connected now. Drawn together by the darkness inside us. The darkness we now share. They want to destroy him, and they want to use me to do it. What they don't know is if i'll let them.

Rebellion

Picked for the WattVamps February Showcase & now a Wattpad Dark Fantasy featured story! The Risen Series - Book 1 Rebellion I've been a cardholding member of the undead for centuries, torn away from the sun by a vampire with no care for human life. From the moment I opened my eyes to the night and had my first craving for blood, my Maker twisted and moulded me into exactly what he wanted; trapping me in his hold. Until one day he let me go. Content to live out eternity as no more than a shadow, I do my best to stay out of trouble. But trouble always had a way of finding me. During a hunt, I run into another vampire doing his best to go unnoticed; one so ancient the air around him reeks of power, and he claims he's just escaped imprisonment from the very council that used me to their own ends. Atanas demands I help him until he regains his strength so he can finish what he started a century ago, but I'm not sure that's all he wants from me. And while I'm no supporter of the council he seeks vengeance against, there are secrets that bind my life to theirs, and I know better than most that disloyalty means death. But in the shadows, a rebellion has been brewing, and I might be more important to both sides than I could ever have imagined.
