Consumed by grief and haunted by whispers, a young man is forced to embrace a terrifying power to protect the world from a darkness he can barely comprehend. When nightmares become real, a shattered soul must embrace the darkness to fight it, but the line between savior and monster is terrifyingly thin. Mature Content Warning: [+18] This book contains graphic violence, blood, gore, and disturbing imagery. "Seraph's Torment: Shadow of Light" blends several genres, crafting a truly original concept that transcends the ordinary—a world where angelic beings and dark entities collide in ways you've never imagined. This fresh perspective is born from my fascination with the intricate dance of light and shadow. As a newbie writer, this is my very first novel, and I hope you enjoy the journey as you dive into the shadows.

Some doors shouldn't open. Some reflections shouldn't lie. And some worlds should stay forgotten... Fourteen year old Elliot Gray has always had strange dreams-visions of impossible cities, forests of silver, and a sky with two moons. But dreams don't mean anything. At least, that's what he tells himself. Until the day he finds the mirror. One moment, it reflects the back room of his mother's antique shop. The next, it shows somewhere else-a place that shouldn't exist. And when a mysterious creature named Quill appears in his bedroom, claiming to have come from that world, Elliot is pulled into something far bigger than himself. The land of Eldryn is dying. A force known as the Hollow Veil is consuming it, unravelling magic, devouring reality itself. And Elliot, for reasons he doesn't understand, is the key to stopping it. But the more he learns, the more he begins to wonder-is he here to save Eldryn? Or to destroy it?

Genres: Supernatural, Slice of Life, Action, Romance, Comedy. Sawyer West Reid, an aspiring doctor, was just trying to survive his night shift when an A-class witch attacked him. Instead of meeting his end, he was rescued by a mysterious Hunter—and thrust into a hidden world where magic, monsters, and cosmic forces collide. Now, Sawyer is forced into an entirely new role: Enforcer, a mediator between humans, supernaturals, and alien races from beyond. Haunted by echoes of countless past lives and caught in the delicate balance between realms, Sawyer’s journey is anything but ordinary. Pursued by a murderous eight-foot-tall pale creature with crimson eyes and tasked with closing a mysterious gate torn open by an unknown force, saving the universe was never in his five-year plan. In a universe governed by ancient laws, hidden dimensions, and cosmic threats (not to mention some truly baffling alien beverage etiquette), Sawyer quickly learns that survival will require more than medical skills and a lot of coffee. I began writing this story to craft a supernatural world filled with witches, werewolves, gods, monsters, and everything in between—told from the very beginning with an eye for the intricate universal laws that bind it all. What started as a spark of inspiration has grown into an ever-expanding adventure that I hope will captivate you as much as it does me. Thank you for joining me on this wild ride. I’m having a lot of fun, and I hope you will too! Note: This story contains violence and dark themes and is intended for an adult audience. Updates: Tuesdays and Sundays (West Africa Time). Occasional breaks may occur to catch up with the storyline and refine chapters.
