The manor stood tall and sturdy like a mountain rising amidst the pine trees and thick fog. It was like a somber and cold painting, making you think that all of this couldn't possibly be real. Like the manors in fairy tales where witches reside. If you say the manor is beautiful, it is indeed so, but there is something strange about it.
As you gaze at it for a while, it feels as though you are drawn into its beauty and mystery. Inside its vast hall, everything feels even more unreal. You can see beautiful stained glass windows with heavy velvet drapes covering them. The atmosphere is very heavy and filled with anticipation. It is so quiet that only whispers, which seem unreal because there is no one here, can be heard.
Serenith Aurelaris felt lost in her own thoughts. She had never imagined she would end up in a place like this. Her quiet and constantly shifting life had left her with no close friends. Before receiving her mother's wedding invitation via email, she hadn't given it much thought. She had planned to attend, offer her congratulations, and then return to her usual life.
But when she first set foot in the manor and the large oak door opened for her, she felt that this manor was unlike any other. It was as if every breath she took was connected to the manor itself. The wedding was supposed to be a solemn and beautiful occasion, but who could have guessed that something evil would shroud it? After they exchanged vows, her stepfather, Regalus Thalios Drakathos, vanished, followed by her mother, leaving the place stained with blood and mystery.
Trapped and desperate, Serenith's only option is to stay and uncover the truth behind the manor's dark secrets. Unbeknownst to her, the shadows she has always avoided are about to envelop her in a world of ancient magic, forbidden love, and an artifact of unimaginable power.
In the silence of the manor, as night falls and shadows grow longer, Serenith's journey begins—a journey that will test her resolve, reveal her past, and ultimately unveil the legacy that is destined for her.
The Legacy of Shadows will soon be revealed.
