Shadow is a chilling contemporary fantasy that explores identity, betrayal, and the fragile boundary between light and darkness. 

Elara, a charming and easygoing college student, seems to have it all-until her roommates start disappearing. One by one, they leave without explanation, haunted by eerie occurrences they can't quite explain. Alone in her dorm, Elara begins to notice strange changes: her reflection lingers in mirrors, and her shadow seems to have a life of its own. When her closest friend, Jules, is driven away after a terrifying encounter, Elara's world begins to unravel.

Struggling to understand the ominous presence following her, Elara joins forces with Jules to uncover the truth. What begins as a desperate attempt to reclaim her life turns into a harrowing journey, unraveling a family secret tied to a demon's bargain and a shadow that isn't hers to control. 

With time running out and darkness creeping closer, Elara must face the entity born from her own fears-an enigmatic mirror-self who's determined to take over her life. 

Haunting, seductive, and suspenseful, Shadow is a story of fractured friendships, inner demons, and the fight to hold onto one's humanity in the face of overwhelming darkness.All Rights Reserved
