The Devil's Shadow is a 130K word Theological Dark Fantasy which pays homage to Rice's modern classic Interview with the Vampire in its frame-story construction and retells the story of "Shade" a first-century Egyptian recruited by Nephillim loyal to Lucifer to be their agent on Earth, but whom chooses his own path and plays both sides in their Angelic cold war. Shade's journey through the ages from Egypt to modern  America explores themes of love, loyalty, and loss.
---
Shade is a vampire, spawn of the Nephillim loyal to Lucifer, and the Devil wants him as his agent on Earth. But Shade rejects him, instead playing both sides in the Angelic cold war. In retaliation, Lucifer threatens to take that which Shade loves most. When Shade encounters two people in New York, one the very image of his late wife, it clear enough to Lucifer who Shade loves, but right or wrong, a rescue mission against the forces of Hell is the only way for Shade to protect the one he truly loves.

Black and White, Darkness and Light (Nico di Angelo x Fem! Reader) ''The loneliest people are the kindest. The saddest people are the brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest. All because they do not wish to see anyone else suffer the way they do.'' - Unknown Nico di Angelo is always represented as the darkness. Everyone at camp is scared by him because his father is the god of the underworld and represents death. He doesn't talk to anyone, doesn't play with anyone and doesn't want anything to do with anyone. He's afraid that people he cares about will disappear and hurt him. Just like the death of his sister that left a hole inside him. ''Our fate is that of a tragic love story. And yet, here I am, unable to let him go. Directing the both of us to our appalling end.'' Y/n L/n is described as the light, the magic and the happiness. But on the inside, she's just as broken as any other demigod. She's been living with the feeling of loss present in her, as if she is already dead. But she doesn't want anyone to see that, so she makes an effort to be happy and bright to everyone. She takes care and worries for everyone. Sometimes though, she loses control of her emotions and goes back to what she used to be: a monster! One day, while Y/n is helping her mother, she receives the visit of an old friend. He is pleading her to help the camp Half Blood. She immediately leaves her mother behind. Through fights, magic, tears, strategies and practices, she will find something new. Something that will appear only when a certain death boy is around. Is it love? Or, maybe, simply curiosity? They are just like darkness and light, two completely different people with a similar past. But we do say that opposites attract, right? This story will contain mature things such as sexual scenes, violence and swearing! Read at your own risks!

Carolina Mercado is just your average college student with your average college student problems - submitting assignments, struggling to pay rent, dodging annoying roommates. But that all changes when she takes a trip to Egypt in attempt to find some adventure. Instead she finds a cursed tomb, and unknowingly reawakens an ancient feud. It's not until she returns home to New York City where she meets a certain young, new CEO to a multi-million dollar company that she realize she can't run away from the mummy's curse forever. ....................................................................................................................................... Bony arms wrap around me and drag me backwards. As if a switch was flipped, I can suddenly feel my body again and I rip myself away from the monster. The second I turn around, I'm faced by the same decaying face I saw in the tomb as well as in the bar. I slowly take a step back, but I soon find I can't go further when a wall suddenly appears behind me out of no where. The mummy slowly steps towards me and with every step he takes, he changes. His skin regenerates and the paleness fades away. He's nearly a step away from me when I start to notice a certain familiar chiseled jawline, familiar deliciously full lips, and familiar aristocratic nose. His devilish red eyes change into an icy blue that are piercing my soul. NOTE: Updates every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoon (EST).

"This is the kind of secret that burns through the bottom of whatever box you lock it up in" • "Stay still." He took his sharp talon and moved aside a piece of her blonde- practically white- hair, still damp from the bath, and tossed it over her shoulder. His claw glided down her slender neck to her shoulder and slipped under the strap of her nightgown, giving a teasing tug. "This-" His deep voice flooded her frail being, "is very cute." Individual threads slowly snapped as he lifted his claw, taking the strap with him. "What are you doing?" She asked, her small frame trembling against his much larger body, which satisfied a deep-rooted desire within him. "Do you always wear such provocative clothing?" He muttered in husky annoyance. ~•~•~ Irina is the first human born in the underworld- an utter mystery.
