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.

ππππππππ πππππ (ANGEL) Older. Scary. Silent. Damon Lars was always lurking in the shadows, a sinister presence that scared me. It would be oblivious for me not to notice him even in the darkest areas. He was there. Maybe invisible to others, not to me. My brother's best friend, Damon, was notorious for his dark reputation. While I immersed myself in books, I could feel his gaze upon me. Sometimes, I feel him notice me too. No one knows what happens when all my brother's friends are busy. I saw him. Every day. And I vowed to keep my mouth shut. My secret. And his. STELLA RUSSEL (PRINCESS) Rich. Entitled. Bratty. That was me, and I'm proud. I hated Grayson Meadows. He constantly treated me as if I were a spoiled rich brat - which I was - our fathers being business partners made us around each other a lot. Despite his mocking, he always protected me, causing me to feel uneasy in his presence. If I harbor such animosity towards him, why do I find myself concerned for him too? I hate him. But I fucking need him more. LILIANA ROSELINE (DOLLFACE) Jaxon's intense gaze always sent shivers down my spine, as if he could see right through me. He was Marci's violent older brother, a brooding figure with a penchant for chaos. Danger seemed to emanate from him like a dark aura. Yet, amidst his menacing aura, he would fixate his eyes on me, as if I were the epitome of perfection. But could a girl, so perfect, ever be enticed by a man like him? Yes, because I'm so deep down in love with him. AVERY RAVEN (LITTLE DEVIL) Alessio, the loud figure, refers to me as the 'little devil' and feigns animosity towards me. He says he hates me a lot. However, deep down, I am aware that his feelings are quite the opposite. In the dead of night, when the world slumbers, he clandestinely dials my number on each of my birthdays, evoking an unsettling sensation within me. Until last summer, when everything went south and I ruined Alessio's lifeComplete

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.
