Vaelin awakens-but he is not the first.

His mind is not his alone. It is a battlefield, a graveyard of forgotten selves-fractured identities, each born from the last, each shaped by trauma, survival, and unrelenting power.

They lived before him. They fought before him. They had pasts, had lives, had purpose-until they vanished into slumber, leaving him to rise in their place.
But Vaelin had a life once, too.
And now, without warning, he is back, returning to a world that kneels before him yet does not truly know him. 

The temple whispers, the jungle shifts, and something stirs in the echoes of his mind, pressing him toward truths long buried in the darkness of those who came before.

Why did they disappear?
Why is he the one who resurfaced?
And when the cycle begins again, who will take his place next?

Eclipse by the Shadows is a dark fantasy epic exploring fractured identities, power, and the painful legacy of self-creation, where survival is not just about wielding control, but understanding the past that made it necessary.

Blood of the willing by barefootshoes

In the shadows of despair, a broken woman seeks the ultimate release... Magnolia has spent three years trying to rebuild her life after escaping captivity, but the scars run deeper than skin. Haunted by trauma and struggling with autism in a world that refuses to accommodate her differences, she makes one final choice: to surrender her life with dignity to a vampire who promises an end to her suffering. Henri Devereux has existed for four centuries, walking a careful path between monster and man. From his isolated château, he offers a unique service to those who wish to die-taking their blood in a ritual that gives meaning to their final moments. It's an arrangement that has preserved his humanity and satisfied his hunger... until now. What begins as a three-day preparation for death transforms into an unexpected connection as Henri recognizes something extraordinary in Magnolia's perspective-a unique way of experiencing the world that awakens curiosity he thought long dead. For Magnolia, the château offers something she never expected to find again: a space where her differences aren't flaws to be overcome but aspects to be respected. As midnight approaches on the third day, both must confront impossible questions. Can Magnolia find a reason to live after believing for so long that she was broken beyond repair? Can Henri relinquish the blood he craves without losing the connection that has awakened his long-dormant heart? A darkly romantic tale of trauma, healing, and the thin line between endings and beginnings, *Blood of the Willing* explores how two souls-one immortal, one shattered-might find completion in each other's broken pieces. *Content warning: Contains depictions of trauma, sexual assault, suicidal ideation, and consensual blood exchange.*

"Beautiful things don't ask for attention." In a world that thrives on conformity, August is an anomaly. Raised in a secretive overbearing family, she was chosen to leave its hidden grounds-not for freedom, but for duty. Sent to college to become the strategic mind for her generation behind the family's growing empire, she tries to move through the world like a ghost, draped in gothic shadows with secrets too heavy to share but her style is just too much to go unnoticed by judging eyes unscathed. Then she meets Kason through his older brother. A rising rapper with a reckless charm and a hunger for something real, dealing with battles of his own, he's instantly drawn to August's eerie demeanor and the quiet storm that lingers behind her dark mysterious eyes. She's nothing like the women he's used to-unbothered by trends, and untouched by the need for validation. The more she resists, the deeper he falls, his infatuation turning into an obsession he can't shake. One he cant let go of. As their worlds collide, the slow burn of their connection threatens to ignite everything August has been taught to suppress. With her past closing in and expectations pressing down, she must decide if she's willing to defy everything she's ever known for the chance at something dangerously real. In a society that demands she fit a mold, August stands in defiance. Unfortunately, love has a way of making even the strongest question their silence.

In the realm of Nocturnis, magic is not merely an art-it is a force of nature that pulses through every shadow and spark. In Eclipse of Fate, the ancient and enigmatic power of magic has shaped destinies and carved legends into the very fabric of existence. When a rare celestial alignment awakens the dormant elements, the balance between creation and destruction teeters on the edge. At the heart of this stirring tale is Elowen, a gifted mage whose affinity for the arcane sets her apart in a world where magic is both revered and feared. Unbeknownst to her, a hidden prophecy foretells that the convergence of elemental powers during the eclipse will either renew the ancient bonds that bind the realm or shatter them forever. As the magical energies surge, ancient spells stir from centuries of slumber, and the elements-fire, water, earth, and air-begin to manifest with a vengeance. Elowen embarks on a perilous journey to master her unpredictable powers and uncover the secrets of an elemental relic that promises to reshape destiny. Along her path, she encounters a diverse fellowship of outcasts: a stoic warrior with a cursed blade, a trickster spirit bound to an ancient oak, and a reclusive scholar whose forbidden tomes reveal the lost language of magic. Together, they traverse enchanted forests where the trees whisper secrets, forgotten ruins where the walls murmur incantations, and mystical lakes that mirror the soul. Every step deepens the mystery of magic's true nature-its creation, its destruction, and its role as the silent arbiter of fate. As the eclipse draws nearer, supernatural forces and rogue sorcerers seek to harness these elemental energies for their own dark ambitions, threatening to ignite a conflict that could unravel the very essence of Nocturnis. Eclipse of Fate invites listeners into a dark fantasy saga where magic is the heartbeat of a world on the brink.
Bound To The Demon Prince Of Erendale | 18+ by Nef_3rtiti
12 parts Ongoing Mature
⚠️WARNING: MATURE AUDIENCE ONLY.🔞 "You're mine, Witch." His voice hardened. "Your life that I saved? The one that would've been WASTED if I hadn't acted? Belongs to ME. And you will do only as I please, exactly as I say, until-" "Over my dead body!" I hissed, suddenly filled with anger. "That can be arranged," Hans said easily. Then with a smile that was anything but pleasant: "Or you can steal for me instead. Kill for me, if I tell you to. Either way, you stay where I can see you. Night and day." "I'm no puppet." I held his silver gaze with a glare. "And I'm definitely no murderer." "No, but you're a thief. One that's now forever indebted to me." ~•|•~ She steals power. This time, she stole the wrong one. ~•|•~ The Black Market of Erendale runs on the trade of magic ripped from its owners and sold to the highest bidder. Eclipse knows the game. As a Siphoner, a rare witch who can drain abilities with a touch, she survives by robbing the powerful and selling to the even more powerful... until she accidentally takes the essence of Hans de la Mort, the demon of Erendale himself. Crossing him should mean death. Instead, he offers her a deal: she'll return his power when the time is right, and until then, she and her siphoning abilities belong to him. She was his prisoner. His prey. And dangerously, the one who made his demon want to play. Every job she's forced to do pulls them closer to danger-and closer to each other. But when Eclipse uncovers a plot to overthrow him, she's faced with an impossible choice: return his power and lose the only leverage keeping her alive... or keep it, and risk losing everything. Including him.

The Hollow God: Book 1: Ashes Of The Dawnbreak

15 parts Complete

In a realm fractured by centuries of war between light and dark magic, the balance is finally breaking. Temples of light fall into silence, sacred bloodlines fade, and old alliances crumble under the weight of betrayal. Rising from the heart of the chaos is Vaerox the Hollow-an immortal sorcerer cloaked in shadows-who seeks not just to conquer the world, but to erase its soul. As darkness spreads, hope flickers like dying embers. But beneath the ashes of fallen kingdoms and forgotten gods, something ancient stirs-an unknowable force older than light or dark, waiting to awaken. In a world where beauty and horror walk hand in hand, and every choice carries a price, salvation may come not from heroes, but from those willing to become monsters. Ashes of the Dawnbreak is a grim and atmospheric tale of power, sacrifice, and the thin line between redemption and ruin.
