Once, they lived as mortals-safe, sheltered, and blissfully unaware. But the world was never kind, and it was never quiet. The day the realms fractured, fate began to stir and it never stopped watching.
When tragedy strikes, the veil lifts. Secrets long buried begin to whisper, old magic stirs from sleep, and shadows trace their every step.
Nothing is normal. Nothing is safe. Because danger has always been waiting-since the moment the other realms fell.
Will they uncover the truth that time tried to silence? Will they follow the whispers into something far greater than themselves? Or will they become the final ember in the dying light of the mortal plane? There's only one place the answers hide.
Welcome to Shardspire Akademia.
Where truth sleeps in the halls. Where magic breathes in the stones. Where nothing is ever as it seems. And where the Eldraes made a vow no soul dares break.

Confess I Love You
They call me a mage of light, but light has never truly belonged to me. What lives in my chest is no gift, it is a curse. A mark that burns, binding me to powers I cannot control, a mark that the Shadow Herald himself hunts, whispering that one day it will consume me whole. I should have told Kael. I should have told him long ago, before the secrets turned into chains of their own. But how could I confess, to the boy who fights at my side, who smiles as if I were his sun, when every truth I hold could shatter what we have? The Heart of Dawn was supposed to save us. Instead, it revealed me. At the Academy of Eldoria, shadows slipped past ancient wards, and students fell screaming. In my desperation, I burned myself nearly to death to keep them safe. Now Kael, Calista, Thorne, even little Vivi, they fight beside me, yet I wonder how long they'll stay once they learn the whole truth. This is not a tale of chosen heroes. It is a tale of a cursed girl who wields light with shaking hands, and who loves with a heart chained in shadow.
Virelight Trilogy - Book Two - Of Broken Fear and Buried Love
The shards are calling. And this time, the stakes are deeper than secrets. Elara and her (mostly) loyal companions set off to find the next two shards: one born of Fear, the other of Love. Simple, right? The Shard of Fear lies hidden in the heart of Mirrorwood-a haunted forest known for its vanishing paths, echoing illusions, and tendency to snack on unwelcome visitors. And the Shard of Love? That one's buried somewhere far more personal: Elara's childhood home. With Rowan growing quieter, Valen growing bolder, and a mysterious mimic lurking just out of sight, the road ahead twists with riddles, half-truths, and ancient magic better left forgotten. As the line between friend and foe begins to blur, Elara must confront what frightens her most... and what she's still willing to love. Heartfelt, humorous, and brimming with fantasy, Book Two of the Virelight Trilogy dives deeper into the threads that bind us-through fear, through love, and through the wild, weird wonder of it all. Because sometimes, the greatest magic is facing what's inside. Copyright ©️Complete
The Scattered Heir
Nocturna Academy is the most prestigious university for supernaturals - a place where every race, from vampires and werewolves to fae, witches, warlocks, empaths, and hybrids, comes to prepare for the roles they will one day claim in their own communities. Royals, diplomats, and leaders of every kind have walked its enchanted halls. One student, however, has lingered longer than most. Seraphine Ashbourne, the youngest daughter of a royal vampire dynasty, has spent a decade within Nocturna's walls. Officially, she is here to learn. In truth, the academy is her family's cage - a place to keep her hidden, out of sight and out of mind. Something stirs within her, something her family fears, and until they can control it, she is not allowed to claim her place at court. Seraphine herself does not know the true reason she is kept here. What she does know is that her family demands perfection: strict discipline, flawless poise, and an obedience that clashes with her untamable spirit. Now, in her tenth year, Seraphine begins yet another cycle of studies. She repeated her first year once, then completed the curriculum in full - twice - only to be denied her title again and again. Frustrated, grieving, and restless, she enters this new year with little hope. But the academy is changing. New professors watch her closely, some determined to protect her, others to test her. Two of them, however, see her differently - not just as a student or an heir, but as someone they cannot help but be drawn to. Their attention is dangerous, forbidden, and intoxicating. And Seraphine, for the first time in her long years at Nocturna, finds herself unwilling to resist. She will not choose between them. She will not deny herself the connection they offer. Whispers gather in the halls, rumors cling to her name, and the weight of her legacy presses heavier than ever. Seraphine Ashbourne is more than her family's secret. Whether they allow it or not, the Scattered Heir is about to awaken.
𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝘁𝘀 | 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠
Beneath the roots lies a realm unspoken, where shadows breathe and rivers run black. A single step too far unravels the veil between worlds, turning play into curse, and innocence into exile. Beyond the roots, the air itself conspires, forests whisper of forgotten kings, and demons walk as both beasts and men. Yet above that abyss rises a kingdom of warmth, a fragile jewel cradled in sunlight. Its streets awaken each dawn in a riot of color: banners ripple, stalls spill with fruit and cloth, and fountains laugh with crystal spray. Children dart through blooming gardens, their laughter ringing louder than bells, while elders sit beneath arching roots, telling stories of brighter days. Here, joy is stitched into life itself. The baker greets with sugared bread, the blacksmith's hammer sings with the town musicians, and couples dance when lanterns glow like fallen stars. Festivals turn nights into oceans of song, where drums thunder and torches paint the sky in fire and gold. In this place, hope does not hide-it parades, it feasts, it laughs. The people call their home a sanctuary, untouched by sorrow, where each day begins with promise and ends in peace. To live here is to believe, if only for a moment, that darkness is nothing more than a distant dream. But beneath their feet, the roots stretch into silence. For every blossom hides its shadow, and every feast masks a silence that waits. The kingdom may be a cradle of joy, but its foundation drinks from the same soil where nightmares stir. Here, survival is no gift. Every choice is a bargain, every path a trial. What seems human may wear another face, and what seems monstrous may hold a broken heart. Secrets buried for centuries stir in the soil, twisting destiny tighter with every breath. This is not a tale of crowns or kingdoms, but of a world where light is fragile, where hope withers, and where even the roots that bind the earth tremble before what waits below.
Selena - The Twin Moons
A young orphan with unique powers is on the run from assassins alongside a mysterious young man. 🌙 When passion and power collide, nothing-not even a prophecy-can dictate the future. 🌙 Selena wasn't meant to exist. Newly arrived in a distant family, she discovers she carries the powers of two feuding Lunn lineages: telekinetics and telepaths. An impossible combination that inspires both awe and fear. Hunted and thrust into the center of an ancient, ambiguous prophecy, she's forced to ally with Nikolas, an elusive boy whose cunning and silence conceal dangerous secrets. Between mistrust, biting remarks, and attraction, neither dares to admit a fragile bond form. Essential. And ready to shatter at the slightest misstep. While the prophecy identifies her as the phoenix, it also cautions that through her, an evil force will awaken. The enigma persists: is this shadow an object, or a person? Amid betrayals and revelations, hatred and passion, Selena must find her place in a world where power is memory and emotion-and where love may prove her greatest weakness. 🌙 If you enjoy low-fantasy tales with romance, suspense, and unexpected twists, this novel is for you. 🌙 A huuge thank you to @BleuSaphir51 for the stunning cover (which I translated)!

The Curse Of Nightfall
The continent of Valdarra remembers its wars in whispers-and enforces its peace in chains. In the jewel-bright realm of Valloriath, the Sapphire Council rules over Radiance, Duskweave, and Embercraft, weaving laws as tightly as their magic. Elira was meant to thrive inside their gilded order. Instead, she and her sister, Caedra find themselves unraveling the illusions stitched into every promise they've ever been taught. But when a stranger with both light and shadow in his eyes crosses her path, the boundaries of what she's been told to fear begin to blur. In his wake, certainties begin to waver, and Elira feels something stirring older than law itself. As ancient powers kindle in forgotten corners and the laws harden into something crueler, the question is no longer who holds magic - but who it should belong to at all. When silence becomes survival and truth turns traitorous, Elira must decide whether to bow to the world that made her or ignite something even the Sapphire Council cannot contain. In Valdarra, power is inherited, stolen or broken. The strongest is the one who breaks free. ***** Welcome to WeaveVerse!
