In the ancient Eldrath, a world shrouded in perpetual twilight, the sun has been hidden for centuries by an ominous celestial event known as the Eternal Eclipse. This cosmic occurrence has given rise to a mysterious and malevolent force known as the Umbran Court, a dark faction that thrives on the power of shadows.
Enter our protagonist, Seraphina Nightshade, a young sorceress with a unique ability to manipulate shadows. Haunted by a tragic past and harboring a secret lineage, Seraphina is thrust into a perilous journey when she discovers an ancient prophecy foretelling the end of the Eternal Eclipse. According to the prophecy, a chosen one with the power to control both light and shadow will emerge to challenge the Umbran Court and restore balance to Eldrath.
As Seraphina sets out on her quest, she encounters a diverse group of companions, each with their own dark secrets and hidden abilities. Among them are a brooding vampire prince seeking redemption, a cursed werewolf with a tragic past, and a fallen angel grappling with the consequences of rebellion.
Together, they must navigate treacherous landscapes, face nightmarish creatures, and uncover long-buried truths about Eldrath's history. Along the way, Seraphina discovers that her unique connection to shadows holds the key to unlocking her true potential. As the group draws closer to the heart of the Umbran Court's lair, they must confront their deepest fears and confront the darkness within themselves.
The story unfolds in a world where alliances are fragile, and betrayal lurks in the shadows. Will Seraphina and her companions succeed in breaking the curse of the Eternal Eclipse, or will Eldrath be forever consumed by the sinister forces that dwell within the shadows?
"Shadows of the Eclipse" weaves a tale of dark fantasy, intricate magic, and the enduring power of light in the face of overwhelming darkness.

Reborn: The Allies of Old (Book One)
Nineteen year old Anna Preston appears to lead a life typical for a young woman in modern-day America. But she has a secret. For the past three years she's been seeing shadowy figures mingling with the populace. Made of smoke and vapor with a vaguely human form, they are not overtly threatening, but in the recesses of her mind there are whispers of nightmares long buried and forgotten. Jared is of a race created solely for the purpose of protecting humankind from demons, and for the first two centuries of life he was fully devoted to the service. Until the very ones he protected repaid him by destroying everything he ever loved. For decades Jared's hatred of humans was a living thing, but time has a way of dulling strong emotion and centuries later he is mostly indifferent. But when he learns a vial of his blood is being used in depraved activities, a long forgotten past comes hurdling back. ** Humans, Vampires, Faerians, and Shifters once banded together to fight their common enemy, but it has been many centuries since the demons presented a real threat to the world- and in these modern times most are oblivious to the danger lurking just beyond their perception and mankind has reduced both allies and enemies to fairy tales and boogie men. Signs are beginning to appear that allude to this threat rising in power once more, but with the alliances largely broken and those still continuing the fight few and far between, the human race is on the precipice of a grave danger that could threaten their very existence. And so it is of dire need for the allies to gather together once more. Ancient prophesies will soon begin to surface, one in particular that speaks of a unifying force initiated by the unlikeliest of beings...Complete
