Narnia: The Princess of Shadow (Edmund Pevensie and Prince Caspian's Fanfiction)

For centuries, Narnia lay under the shadow of the White Witch, Jadis. Unknown to many, she bore a daughter, Gaia-child of stars and darkness-imprisoned within a cage of ice, hidden from the world. Raised in cruelty, beaten and silenced, Gaia wrestled with her own nature: torn between her mother's darkness and the whisper of light within her. From her prison, she saw visions of Narnia's fate-the coming of the four children, the Golden Age, Aslan's sacrifice, the war of Beruna, and the downfall of her mother.

After a hundred years of solitude, Gaia's chains broke when Aslan himself came to her, declaring her the "Mother of Nature" and the chosen Princess of Narnia. Though burdened by the Witch's lingering curse, Gaia was entrusted with the land and its people until the true kings and queens would return.

Meanwhile, far away, the Telmarine prince Caspian discovers the treachery of his uncle, King Miraz. With the help of Doctor Cornelius, he escapes into the haunted woods of old Narnia and, in desperation, blows Susan's horn-summoning back the Pevensies from London. Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy return to Narnia, only to find their kingdom in ruins, their castle broken, and their reign long faded into legend.

As the Narnians rise again from hiding, their paths entwine with Caspian and Gaia. Old prophecies stir: the four children will return, a prince will rise from the enemy's blood, and the daughter of stars will hold the balance of nature itself. Together, they must challenge Miraz's tyranny, awaken the courage of Narnia, and prepare for the battles yet to come-where crowns, swords, and the fate of a kingdom will be decided.
