Shadowfire & The Nymph

Twenty-year old Lana Todoran has become ruthless and invisible to survive the brutality within Trinia's iron fence. Tired of the hunger and the pain, she decides to do something about it. Something that may very well get her killed - but what is the point in existing if not to live?

Clad in a granite cloak, silent and nimble as a wraith, Lana steals from the wealthy to provide for her starving family. Blending with the darkness of the night is easy for a living shadow. She blends so well, in fact, she has gained the name The Ghost. The best thing about being a ghost is that people may think they see you... but you are never caught.

That was until Luca Greyfin, a cruel, sadistic, and power-hungry Salitor, kidnaps Lana's brother, hoping to see her snap. The captain needs someone to blame for the robberies, and since they have reached a dead-end in their investigation... why not the fiery young woman who has been a thorn in his side for over ten years?

What Luca hadn't expected to see was Lana completely lose herself in blind fury. A strange, dark energy so powerful it crumbled nearby buildings to the ground and dulled the light of the stars, erupts from her in glittering obsidian.

Meanwhile, in a city fenced in copper hundreds of leagues away, Kali Silvertide is desperately searching for a cure to save her dying sister, Ivy, whilst also trying to navigate a brittle relationship with her brother, Sage... only, she is confined by the copper-fence of Rhydwen, a city of sandstone boarded by crystal blue water.

Kali has always been drawn to water. The gentle lapping of small ponds and the roaring crash of ocean waves upon cragged rocks always stirs a yearning melody in her blood. Yet, the silver gauntlets clasped at her wrists cause that sensation to dry.

When the iron fence is destroyed, and Kali escapes Rhydwen, will shadow and nymph become allies? Or will they become enemies?
