The mention of their name strikes fear on the lips of kingdoms, and death knocks quietly on the doors with unfailing accuracy. Trained from childhood, each an exceptionalist in their own right as shaped by the harshest of absolutist abuse and untamed loyalty to the family's dynasty. But the youngest successor, Kael, who begins to question the morality of the family’s line of work, becomes the catalyst that causes cracks in the family’s otherwise ironclad code. Kael, driven by curiosity and a desire to break free, seeks out the truth hidden in the Shadowborne archives: truths about where they come from, the curse that binds their bloodline, and the cost of wielding the magic that can ultimately consume them. Kael’s contentious actions set off a cascade of events that will find him at odds with his merciless siblings, who will do whatever it takes to protect the Shadowborne legacy. As alliances change and betrayals pile up, Kael must make a choice: Will he destroy the legacy he was born into or adopt it to protect those he loves? Twilight of the Shadowborne Legacy is that of loyalty to family and respect for blood, tangled as it is with dark legacy, the struggle for a generation between adoration of our lineage and defiance against our hearts.

#GrumpyxSunshine #ForbiddenLove #ForcedProximity #Dark #Princess #Dramatic #RoyalFamily #Magic #Comedy They say time heals everything, but for me, time only makes things worse! Hi, I’m Anezka Orien, a human with the worst luck imaginable. It wasn't always like this. I was a happy child and a resident of the mortal world, Earth, living with my foster caregiver until I turned 12 and lost my only family. I thought I would be alone in this scary world, but then an angel came to help me. Or so I thought. It turned out to be a trap set by my mother, whom I had no idea existed. She took me to an immortal world called the Cosmos of Aislinn and told me I was the long-awaited princess of the Kingdom of Gaelen. I had been kept on Earth since birth because I was in danger, and they were protecting me from someone. That was understandable, I guess. Now, at 12 years old, I had to learn about this new immortal world, and I was trying my best until I encountered an accident that left me in a coma for 8 years. During this time, I was trapped in an endless dream about my past life. When I finally woke up after 8 years, I was 20 years old and realized I was the reincarnation of my blind, naive and treacherous great-grandmother, who had made many mistakes that I now had to resolve. To make matters worse, my mother told me I was betrothed to the Shadow Queen of the Kingdom of Corbin as her bride. The shocking part? The Shadow Queen was my best friend from my past life, whom I had betrayed. She has been waiting for me for 200 years to take revenge for my past mistakes. —————— Once upon a time, there lived a mysterious queen named Azara Catori, burdened by a curse as old as time. She was one of the three Ardere, fiery souls who instilled fear in the hearts of townspeople from other elements. The Catori name was tainted with darkness and flames. For 200 years, she had been consumed by a desire for revenge against a certain individual whom she passionately despised, vowing to do anything to make that person's life a living hell. Excerpt: "Tying me with these shitty chains isn’t going to lead you anywhere. Don’t forget, I’m the only cure for your curse," Anezka said to the transparent shadow looming in front of her. Within a few seconds, the shadow stepped closer and gripped her jaw, making her shiver from the sudden cold. "Quite a filthy mouth you have there," the shadow's voice boomed in the room like an echo. Keeping her nerves in check, Anezka held the shadow’s cold hands in hers and replied, "And this filthy mouth can do much more than you can even imagine." ————————————————— Trigger Warnings : Novel contains 18+ scene, Cussing, Bullying, Mention of Death, Anxiety, Depression.
