Hi, I'm Arya Nightshade-and yes, that's my real pen name. I write dark fantasy full of shadows, sharp feelings, and characters who love as fiercely as they fight. Wings of Shadow started as a quiet idea and turned into something that wrecked me (in the best way). I have a soft spot for reluctant heroes, found families, and magic that doesn't behave. When I'm not writing, I'm probably daydreaming in bookstores, hoarding notebooks, or pretending the woods behind my house might open into another world.

I am LGBT, a part of that Bi squad. My PMs are always open if anyone ever want to talk or needs a friend. 

I write mostly for my own fun but I always love to hear feedback from any of my readers.


I have a fantasy LGBTQ+  book series about the eight son of death and their love problems.
