Shadow of the Curse

In Shadow and Curse, Alyssa weaves a gripping tale of mystery, magic, and sacrifice. The story follows Tomas, a young man haunted by a dark family legacy. His village has long been plagued by an ancient curse that lurks in the nearby Blackthorn Woods, a place where shadows seem to whisper and people vanish without a trace.

When his sister, Alyssa, disappears, Tomas is determined to find her and uncover the truth behind the legend of the Cursed One, a being said to be trapped within the forest. His journey takes him deep into forgotten myths, where he learns that the shadowy force is more than just a story-it's real, and it's hungry for more than just souls.

As Tomas digs deeper, he discovers a hidden name of power-the key to either banishing or unleashing the darkness forever. With time running out and the curse threatening to consume the village, he faces a terrible choice: sacrifice himself to end the curse, or risk dooming everyone he loves.

In a final confrontation, Tomas calls upon the ancient name, forcing the shadow into battle. With Alyssa help, he harnesses his own strength to break the curse, freeing the village from its grip. But even as the dawn rises and the nightmare fades, Tomas knows one chilling truth: some curses never truly die...

This book is a dark fantasy thriller, blending elements of folklore, family bonds, and the cost of power. Perfect for readers who enjoy eerie atmospheres, high-stakes choices, and protagonists who must face the darkness within themselves.
