Book 2 of the Blackwater Shadows saga.
"... the key lies not in power but in understanding..."
The academy sleeps, but Adrien Valmont does not. Beneath spired rooftops and layers of political expectation, a deeper legacy pulses through iron-threaded leather and whispered prophecy. Haunted by Kaelen's silence and driven by an unraveling truth, Adrien unearths the Logistaria Umbrae: a forbidden tome alive with shadowed memories and volatile magic. What begins as a search for answers becomes a reckoning with history itself.
As spectral echoes from the shattered Balance Court claw their way into the present, Adrien finds himself tethered not only to Kaelen's burden, but to the name Thandrel, a Guardian erased by fear. The deeper he delves into cryptic passages and veiled corridors, the more Adrien questions whether he's studying prophecy... or becoming it.
Now, with distrust seeping through the academy's halls and ancient magic stirring beneath the Veil, Adrien must choose: expose the truth and risk unraveling everything, or protect Kaelen and bear the silence himself.
Because in Blackwater Shadows, the darkness doesn't just threaten from beyond... it waits within.
" Inheritance stands a gilded cage, where longing blooms in silent veins.
Transformation ascends, the only escape, cracking iron bars with wings of change.
Revelation lays the soul bare, emerging fierce once the mask is shed.
Defiance tempers love's steel blade, cleaving the storm to shape tomorrow's dawn.
Redemption dawns upon reborn fields, a covenant of hope in shadows healed. "

The Shadowborn Heir
In a kingdom where magic is outlawed, Kaelith Ravaryn is the last of the Shadowborn-a bloodline cursed with the power to control darkness itself. Raised in exile, she has spent years in hiding, training in secret under a rogue warrior known only as the Black Fang. When the tyrant king announces a deadly tournament-where warriors fight for the title of King's Blade, the highest rank in the royal guard-Kaelith sees her chance. Not for glory, but for revenge. The king was the one who ordered the slaughter of her family, and now she will bring his empire to its knees. But as Kaelith fights her way through the tournament, she discovers a secret buried beneath the castle-one that could change the fate of the entire world. The king is not the true ruler. A far older and darker force is pulling the strings, and it wants her power. With the fate of the kingdom at stake, Kaelith must decide: will she embrace the darkness within her, or will she forge her own destiny and become something greater than a warrior-a legend?CompleteShadows Beckon✅️

Veil of Thorns ( Book 1 )
In a world split between light and shadow, humans live unaware of the Veil-a barrier that separates their world from one ruled by the Fae. For centuries, the Veil has held strong. But when Kaelin Duskthorn, heir to the Shadow Court, crosses it on a rogue mission to reclaim stolen fae magic, he doesn't expect a mere human to stand in his way. Arwen Vale, a half-human, half-fae raised in secret, unknowingly holds the key to a relic that could destroy both courts and collapse the Veil. She's sarcastic, guarded, and lives by rules she's made to survive the human world. Kaelin is cruel, calculating, and bound by a prophecy that claims his downfall will come from "a girl with blood between stars." Their paths cross violently-literally. Kaelin tries to kill her; she stabs him with a knife enchanted by his enemies. But their connection only deepens as fate, betrayal, and hidden desires begin to unravel the truth: they are bound by a forbidden soul-thread. As tensions rise between the Light and Shadow Courts, Arwen and Kaelin must navigate a war they didn't start, secrets they weren't meant to know, and an attraction that could ruin them both. Enemies by blood. Lovers by curse. And only one can survive the breaking of the Veil.Complete

Silenced
Adrien Agreste is always silenced. Don't slouch, don't act out, don't talk back, don't disobey, don't do anything to make the Agreste brand (not name; never name) look bad. Never talk with your mouth full, never step to the right when you're meant to go left, never look up when you are not told to, never speak without permission. Adrien Agreste is always silenced. Gabriel Agreste, his father (not dad; never dad), has conditioned him to stay silent and sit on the back burner, while he takes everything by the reins. From his studies, to his internet access, to his social interactions-down to the very outfit he wears. He is controlling of his son's life, but his son is used to it. Because when you're Adrien Agreste, you learn to be silent. You learn to sit up straight, to act right, to comply without words, to obey, to be perfect (not good; never good). You learn to chew before even moving your lips and covering your mouth to do so, to follow your father step by step and never break from the routine, to look down and only look up if called, to speak when spoken to. Adrien Agreste has learned to live with being silenced. Adrien Agreste is always silent.

Two Cursed Souls
For thousands of years, the citizens of Asterria have lived at odds with the reclusive Clans who dwell within the Mountains of Donoa, and in recent times the tension has begun to erupt. An act of self defense which led to two lives lost spurred hostility on both sides, and a vindictive witch seeking revenge for the life of her slain kin invoked a dark curse upon Asterria's twin Princes. Now, two centuries past, Kyran and Konan Renhael have lived in fear of the manifestation of their curse as tensions continue to rise. The Clans have been lashing out with increasing aggression and most fear open attacks will soon follow, but as dark impulses and blooded bodies begin to follow in the Princes' wake, it is clear the Clans are not their only concern. In an effort to find a way to break the curse before it is too late, Kyran travels to a Clan village seeking the Matrons, the same circle of witches as the one who originally cursed him and his brother. There he meets the wild and cunning Ylva, one of the heads of the Matron order. Working his way into her good graces could get him closer to finding a way to break the curse, or ensnare him in a new one entirely. Either way, only one thing remains certain. Failure will leave Asterrians drowning in blood, and mark the dawn of another Dark Age. Warning: This book, while being a work of fiction, still deals with real and mature elements. There will be chapters dealing with manipulation, emotional and verbal abuse, gore, PTSD, torture, sexual content, and other topics.

I spun around as much as I could, their grip was strong on my hair. I saw my brown hair in a tight grip, I trailed my eyes up a male's tattooed arm towards a pair of dark grey eyes, his eyelids were red and puffy, as if he had been crying, or he was high. His face was set in a glare, his dark hair, messy, as if all he had done to get ready was shake his head around. It was the guy, Adrien, who was separated from Riley's group. He was tall. I was average height, maybe even slightly above average but Adrien towered over me, I had to look up at him. "What fucking right do you have to come to his school." Adrien snarled. He knew. I didn't know him though. • • • warnings: mature themes and violence, drug abuse, mentions of overdose, mentions of sexual assaultComplete
