[Side Story in the Shade Series] [Takes Place Before Storyline]
Before heroes, there was blood. Before fate, there was survival.
Scyllena's quiet life in the mountain village shatters when a brutal Helriox raid leaves her home in ruins and her family missing. Fleeing through frozen forests and snow-covered plains, she clings to life with nothing but sheer will and desperate hope.
When she is found, half-frozen and covered in blood, salvation comes from an unexpected source - the Nimor, fierce beings of legend who walk the razor's edge between saviors and predators. Thrust into their dangerous world, Scyllena must navigate uneasy alliances, unravel buried truths, and confront the haunting question: what happened to her brother?
As whispers of war and ancient magic spread across Emäel, Scyllena's journey for answers becomes a battle for survival - and a destiny far greater than she could have ever imagined. Before the rise of heroes, before the tales of empires and rebellions, begins the story of a girl carved from loss and forged in fire.
Her blood runs red, but her story runs deeper.

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. But his eyes were so dark, so empty . . . "Nothing. I see nothing," I whispered. He smirked, his gaze still on me.

A new start that they all needed. Skye's plan was to blend in and keep to herself. Well, not the easiest task when it was obvious as daylight that you were the new girl at school.

Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Complete
