When lawyer Alexander Harcourt investigates an ancient trade treaty, he discovers a cryptic clause that rewrites history. Symbols that shouldn't exist and disappearances that were never solved draw him deeper into a world where power, rituals, and mystical forces distort reality.

Alexander's quest for answers unravels more than just a legal mystery - it confronts him with his own emptiness, grief, and lost connections. As shadowy entities close in on him, the tension grows between what he can understand and what he must accept. How do you stay true to yourself when emptiness seems to be the only source of strength?

The Seal of Shinku is a hypnotic and claustrophobic story that seamlessly weaves together suspense, mystery, and emotion. For readers who enjoy the dark depth of Haruki Murakami and the suffocating tension of Stephen King.

Genre: Psychological mystery with a supernatural twist

Both The AU and it's "Spinoff" belongs to @pomalgranate on Twitter. I do not own the Art and I found it on Google Chrome. The Lore of this Story and the Characters belongs to Me. The Mandela Catalogue on the other hand, belongs to Alex Kister on YouTube. Note To Readers: This is my first connection with the Dessert AU and The Madeleine Phantasms since I began to be in my TMC Fan Phase once again.... So... I got interested in the Dessert AU's Lore including Madeleine Phantasms' Story that unfortunately, the Lore wasn't there anymore and I'm disappointed but thanks to Skyatra on YouTube, I can understand the Lore a little bit.... Until I come across it's Spinoff known as Madeleine Phantasms it's similar to the AU itself but the HUGE comparison between the two are the Characters and it's Plotline.... That's all I know about this.... So enjoy your Time.... The Lore: Long Before Time Had A Name, There Were Two Angels Flying Around The White Heavenly Sky... Their Names Were Gabriel and Jophiel. Jophiel is the Archangel of Creation, Arts and Beauty while Gabriel is the Archangel of Good Will. They think of making their own World, as Jophiel came with an idea thus He created Madeleine County. Meanwhile, Gabriel couldn't help but intervene Jophiel's Creation thus He added Five Nations near around the Area of the County. He was amused by this and continue to work together. Everything was Peaceful and Joyous at the same time until, Darkness suddenly began to Tore up the Happiness and there came out of the Shadows was none other than Lucifer, the Seraphim Archangel of Pride and Sin, He too has the same Goal as They do but now Their Goal has been Completed, He can have the Opportunity to Takeover the World.

Will she ever forgive them for abandoning her? Will they ever be able to unveil her secrets? Where was she for all those years? This is story of a girl who was abandoned by her brothers when she was seven. Now, after 9 years, her brothers brought her back home. How will she deal with them, simultaneously dealing with the terrors that haunt her every night? Sneak Peak- Once we were out, I stopped and turned to face my blood relatives and said, "Okay, now that I am out you don't need to act anymore. Now, you guys can go back to your house and pretend that this never happened. I will go to my house and will make sure that we will not cross each other's path, even by accident." I was about to turn back when Ezekiel held my elbow, stopping me on my track. I immediately snatched my hand back glaring at him and said, "Do not ever touch me again." His eyes showed an emotion of hurt that I am sure I read incorrectly because one thing that Kensington brothers are incapable of was getting hurt by any outsider. And that was what I was. An outsider. Sensing the tension in the atmosphere Aldric took it upon himself to say whatever his brother was about to. "You are going with us." He spoke. One thing about Aldric Kensington was that once he has made his mind, there is nothing in this world that can change his decision. This is the very quality of his that made my life a living nightmare, and this is exactly why I hate him more than any of my brothers. "Let's go Athaliah," Ezekiel said this time. That name. No one has called me by that name in six years. "My name is Zahra," I corrected and continued, "And I am not going with you." #1 in pastabuse #1 in running on 2/2/25 #1 in babysister on 15/12/24 #1 in brothersconflict on 27/12/24 #2 in abandoned #2 in broken #2 in abusing #2 in nightterror #2 in brokenfamily #4 in olderbrother #5 in mafiaprincess #9 in siblings #34 in siblingrivalry #34 in littlesister #44 in ptsd #40 in misunderstood #59 in mafia
