Born Of

The Shadow Born Legacy

Shadowborne Estate is set among the remote heights of Mount Umbra. Its residents are the most feared family of assassins across the globe, and they are known by only one name: the Shadowborne. 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.

3rd WSA2025 ENTRY, I'm never giving up, you here me!. For all you interested readers, please do try to give this story a try, I assure you it's far better than it seems!. _________________________________________ NOIR Born with extraordinary abilities that no human should possess, Noir's earliest memory isn't of his birth parents, it's of blood-stained grass and haunting howls echoing through the night. Found and adopted by an elderly couple who should have run screaming, they instead chose to embrace the impossible child who could leap across rooftops and communicate with wild beasts. For sixteen years, Noir has tried to tame the feral power thrumming beneath his skin. His adoptive parents' unwavering love helped, but there's only so much you can learn about being "normal" when you accidentally shatter doors or find yourself growling at the neighborhood dogs and winning. Now, his parents insist it's time for him to experience real life, high school. But how do you fit in when you can sense everyone's darkest secrets?. While the scent of fear makes your mouth water?. As Noir struggles to keep his beast hidden behind his façade of normal high schooler, he uncovers disturbing signs that he's not the only one hiding supernatural secrets in the halls of East Ridge High. The truth about his murdered parents is out there. And it's hunting him. Some beasts are born. Others are created. Noir must discover which one he is before it's too late. _________________________________________
