Shadow (Fantasy)

In the realm of Velmara, where light magic reigns supreme and shadow magic is feared as a curse, the balance between the two forces has held for centuries. But when an ancient prophecy awakens, the fragile equilibrium begins to crumble.

Kael Ardyn, a gifted shadowmage exiled for his forbidden powers, has spent his life hiding in the shadows-both literally and figuratively. Branded a danger to society, he longs for nothing more than to be left alone. But when a strange mark appears on his hand, he becomes the reluctant focus of a prophecy foretelling the return of a forgotten god who will plunge the world into eternal darkness.

Elara Lys, a tenacious lightmage and the kingdom's most promising warrior, is tasked with hunting Kael down. Believing him to be the harbinger of doom, she sets out to destroy him, only to discover that their fates are entwined in ways neither could have anticipated.

Forced into an uneasy alliance, Kael and Elara journey across Velmara to uncover the truth behind the prophecy. Along the way, they uncover secrets about their magic, their pasts, and a hidden enemy manipulating both sides of the conflict. As trust builds between them, so does the realization that light and shadow are not enemies but two halves of a greater whole.

Shadow is a gripping fantasy tale of forbidden power, reluctant alliances, and a destiny that challenges everything about what is good, what is evil, and the blurred lines in between.
