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.

The Velmuda World by ZameenaFaleel
23 parts Ongoing
Maya Anderson's world begins to feel muted after a strange exam, a feeling that becomes a terrifying reality when she boards a mysterious bus. She and a new student, Ethan Hayes, discover they are bound by a shared nightmare: a world of shadows and whispers known as Velmuda, where reality is a fragile, tearing veil. As they become an "anchor" and a "watcher," they are pulled into a quiet war against a hidden enemy. But the greatest threat isn't the monsters in the mirror, it's the people they thought they could trust. As they fight for their world, they uncover a chilling truth: the Veil is no longer a distant threat, but a secret society known as the Shadow Court, living among them and slowly preparing for the final reckoning. With their friends as pawns and the line between reality and nightmare blurring, Maya and Ethan must use their bond to fight a war for their very existence. This is a story of love, betrayal, and a battle fought in the shadows, where the end of one world is just the beginning of another.

(74,890 words) The wind rushed past me as my wings beat against the night sky. I noticed a copse of trees up ahead. I slowed to a stop, talons clutching a low-hanging branch. I looked beyond the trees and a pair of glowing golden eyes met my own. Wolf eyes. My eyes widened in fear as I took off. I dodged the trees in my path, but one branch snapped on my wing. My vision blurred, pain lacing through my wing. I continued to flap my wings, clinging desperately to the notion I would make it out alive. More than one wolf was chasing me, their paws a staccato on the ground. They would catch up. They would devour me. I tried to stay in the air, but the pain was unbearable. I fell to the ground, fluttering down like a dead leaf. I snapped my eyes open. Breathing heavily, I sat up. My room shifted in and out of focus as my eyes adjusted. When I was little, my father always told me that dreams were just my imagination, that people were never chased by wolves, and people certainly could never be birds. Vera Stone is a seventeen-year-old girl who lives in a small Louisiana town by the bayou. Small, boring, where nothing ever happens. Or so she and her friends think. One night the hidden darkness surrounding their town and their lives comes to the surface. Will Vera and her friends figure out the secrets hidden through their town's history before it's too late?
