Leah is a Radiant, a dying race that is able to crystallise Light. 

Plagued for centuries by a parasite able to turn them into mindless monsters known as Lightless, the Radiant's homeland has been long since lost. Leah's seen what the parasite has done to her people's morale, and she's determined to be the one who finds the cure. 

Only the League of Light still challenge the expansion of the Lightless, but new recruits are growing scarcer, their Radiant blood thinner as the League struggle to maintain numbers.

When Leah arrives with her Radiant features and the full ability to manipulate Light, not all of them see her as a blessing. There's a divide between the pure Radiants and the humans who can claim their blood, and with shadows in the League, Leah's going to have to wade through it all if she wants to find her cure.

19 parts Ongoing
In a world shadowed by an ancient prophecy and hidden intentions, four lives are set on a collision course that will determine the fate of all. Harlow, a fifteen-year-old boy raised in wealth and privilege, begins to unravel a dark truth: he was never meant to be a part of the family who raised him. An outsider placed in their midst for reasons unknown, he will have to unravel his true identity before his fate catches up with him. Tobias, a hardened twenty-five-year-old, is a warrior for the Circle, a powerful order of priests sworn to protect the realm from the dark forces stirring in secret. His mission is clear: retrieve Harlow and return him to the Circle's lands. But as he finds Harlow, he realizes the journey will test not just his skills, but his loyalty to everything he knows. Meanwhile, Margaret, another agent of the Circle, is searching for a different child--a girl shrouded in legend. Rumored to possess golden hair and misty white eyes, she is the prophesied one, a light against the growing darkness. Her existence is one of mystery, and her power could change everything, if only she can be found. Unknown to them all, the girl is waiting. Hidden from the world yet bound to it, she senses the darkness closing in, and with it, her own awakening. She knows she was born to fight this evil, but the question remains: can she, Harlow, Tobias, and Margaret uncover their destinies before it's too late? In a tale of shifting alliances, mysterious forces, and a destiny carved in shadow, four souls must come together to face the evil that threatens to consume everything they know.

Amara Valestra's life is anything but simple. Trapped in the heart of Malrathis, her powers suppressed by dark, painful restraints, she finds herself caught between two worlds-one she was born into and one she cannot escape. The fire that once burned so brightly within her now smolders, contained by chains of power she can barely comprehend. When a haunting dream reveals the deep, ancient forces that control her fate-forces of fire, healing, and a delicate balance between light and shadow - Amara is left with more questions than answers.. The marks she woke up with, etched into her skin, pulse with power, as though calling to something deeper inside her. The dream is a warning, a glimpse into the dangerous path she must walk to prevent the breaking of the world. With Kaelith's obsession growing, Amara must fight against more than just her captor's manipulations. Her own inner turmoil threatens to consume her, and the choice between love, freedom, and power becomes an impossible one. As her fire begins to burn once more, so too does the knowledge of the devastating consequences it could unleash-both for her and for the fragile balance of the realms. But her past isn't easy to leave behind. Calder, the one she chose to save over herself, lingers in her mind. Though she can't shake the memories of him-his touch, his kindness, the bond they share-he is far from her reach. As her inner fire begins to ignite again, their reunion may be the catalyst for something far greater than either of them could anticipate. As the balance between light and dark shifts, Amara must make a choice that will affect not only her fate but the fate of all realms. The flames inside her burn brighter than ever-but the question is, will they destroy everything, or will they save the world from the shadows that threaten to consume it?
