Book One of the Shadowbound Trilogy
by Elias Gray
Some destinies aren't written in light. They're carved in shadow.
Bel never asked to be special.
Haunted by mirror dreams and hunted by celestial forces, he's spent his life trying to disappear, to stay quiet, stay safe, and stay far away from the fire burning beneath his skin.
But fate has other plans.
When a tragic accident forces him to flee with his best friend Jace and the fiercely brilliant Erica, Bel is thrust into a world of ancient rites, forbidden magic, and secrets buried deep within his own bloodline. He doesn't know why the Council wants him, only that their eyes burn with fear... and that his very existence could tip the balance between worlds.
As the trio races across cursed forests, crumbling villages, and shattered memories, Bel must confront a truth he was never ready to face:
He was never just running from something.
He was being called to something greater.
Something darker.
In a world where shadows hold the truth and light can lie, Bel must decide what kind of monster he's willing to become, to save the people he loves.
Shadowbound is a journey of identity, survival, and self-acceptance, the first step into a trilogy where destiny wears a broken face... and hope is found in the dark.

Silent Heroes: Wildcat
"What the hell?" I took a step closer to the mirror, staring at my reflection in disbelief. The person looking back was still me, but at the same time it wasn't. I had the same thick, dark, curly hair. The same hazel eyes. The same olive skin with a light dusting of freckles (ugh) scattered across the bridge of my nose. But my curls were now streaked with highlights. And not the subtle, golden-brown ones that sometimes appeared during the summer. No, these were an aggressive, dazzling blond that went from the roots of my hair all the way to the tips. It looked like I had spent a full day getting my hair done in some upscale salon. Never mind that I had never set foot in such a place since the day I was born. My eyes appeared somehow wider and more luminous. The colour brighter, my eyelashes darker up against them. And, when I looked closely, my pupils seemed to be slitted almost like a cat. I looked down at my body. My skinny arms-which had always refused to gain any definition no matter how hard I exercised-were lined with flat, wiry muscles. My bony shoulders were now curved and smooth. My scrawny legs were toned like a dancer. I reached down and lifted my shirt, revealing two subtle lines running vertically down my perfectly flat stomach, hinting at the rock-hard abs underneath. My whole body was rippling with strength. Like liquid steel.Concluida
Broken
Sometimes love finds you when you aren't looking for it. The accident that forced Adri and her mother to move to a new high school also cost Adri her dad and sister. Adri just wants to blend in and buy herself time to grieve, but two of the most popular, gorgeous guys in school are about to take an inexplicable interest in her. Adri will be forced into a world where the players aren't all human. She will be forced to choose between Brandon and Alec, and this time the wrong choice could get her killed. **Author's Note: For those of you who've read Bound, it's important to understand that Broken represents an alternate timeline from Bound, one where Kaleb dies (a hero) while Alec is still very young, and the Sanctuary pack splinters into two. Broken is a YA Paranormal Romance book, and is one possible entry point into the books that make up the Reflections Universe. The Reflections Universe is a series of clean books featuring vampires, shape shifters, werewolves and more, which has been written so that it can be safely enjoyed by both teens and adults. Broken is followed by Torn (which is available for free to readers who sign up for my mailing list). The Reflections Universe: Some stories are too full of paranormal romance and heart pounding action to fit into just one series!Concluida
The Starlight Heir
A destiny written in starlight can't be erased by darkness. I never believed in destiny-until the night the stars fell. One moment I was sketching on my rooftop, the next a mark of light burned itself into my skin. Now there's this new boy at school, Elias Kade, with eyes like silver storms and secrets he won't share... except one: that my life isn't what I think it is. The dreams started soon after-of a kingdom I've never seen, a queen who looks like me, and shadows whispering my name. Something is waking inside me, and it's not all light. If I want to survive, I have to uncover who I really am, what he's hiding, and why the stars chose me. Because some legacies burn brighter than stars... and some destinies demand sacrifice.Concluida
