Curse Of Shadows

Born into a world that despises her, Fanta has spent her entire life as an outcast—mocked, feared, and isolated in the village of Ogamba. With sapphire eyes that glow under the moonlight, hair that cascades like liquid violet, the color of her lips like fresh raspberry, and a presence too striking to be ignored, she is seen as an omen of misfortune. Her only solace is her mother’s love and the hidden stories she devours from forbidden books, dreaming of a life beyond the cruel world she knows. When she is accused of witchcraft and cast out of the only home she knows, and separated from the only person that accepted her, fate intervenes in the form of Mike—a photographer from a distant land. Rescuing her from certain doom, he unknowingly sets them both on a treacherous path of survival through the uncharted wilderness. Mike, a former model photographer turned nature documenter, is captivated by Fanta’s ethereal beauty and unbreakable spirit. As they evade bloodthirsty warriors, treacherous landscapes, and wild beasts, a different kind of danger emerges—one neither of them is prepared for. Fanta, who has never known admiration or tenderness beyond her mother, finds herself drawn to this fearless stranger. His touch sends unfamiliar sensations through her, his gaze makes her heart race, and the way he speaks of a world beyond her own fills her with longing. For Mike, the greatest peril isn’t the dangers of the jungle—it’s Fanta herself. She is unlike any woman he has ever met, and the more time he spends with her, the more he finds himself falling. But Fanta holds secrets of her own, ones that could change everything. With enemies closing in and an attraction that neither can resist, they must fight to survive. But as their bond deepens, so does the mystery surrounding Fanta. Who—or what—is she really? And if they make it out alive… will she ever be able to leave her past behind?

After losing everything, Daron Lamb is consumed by grief and guilt, until he's recruited by the Special Magic Force, an elite unit protecting the balance between magical and non-magical worlds. Together, they uncover a secret organization determined to free the God of Chaos, a force sealed away to protect humanity. As Daron investigates, he uncovers a chilling link between the group and his tragic past. Driven by revenge, he joins forces with his new allies to stop them. But as the truth behind the organization’s motives begins to surface, Daron is forced to confront a disturbing possibility: freeing the God of Chaos, though orchestrated by his enemies, might not bring the destruction he's been led to believe. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Daron's gaze drifted downward to his chest. Below, the stark contrast of a faint blue light against his white skin caught his eye—a soft glow emanating from his own chest. It softly pulsed, a gentle luminescence that ebbed and flowed with the rhythm of his own heartbeat. Baffled, he just sat there for a few moments, observing. As his fingers touched the source of light, he was surprised to find that everything felt normal, as if it had always been this way. It was like nothing had changed at all. Daron's eyes widened in disbelief when he noticed a strange black liquid seeping into the wounds on his chest—a substance like ink, flowing from within him. It moved with purpose, filling the gaps left by the fat butcher and stanching the flow of blood that had painted his skin red. "By the gods," he gasped, the sight both unsettling and miraculous. The black liquid quickly solidified, forming scars as black as the night sky. His eyes remained fixed on the eerie scene, his breath steadying to a normal rhythm. He was a magician now… it felt strange. He didn't feel particularly different. Sure, a mysterious substance had just mended his broken skin, but other than that, he didn't feel like he could do anything… new, anything special. He stretched out his hand, trying to summon a sharp wind to cut down his shackles. Nothing happened. Next, a flame, to burn down his cell. Nothing happened. “Figures,” he said to himself. “Why would it be easy?” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For news and feedback, feel free to join the Vessel of Shadows Discord: https://discord.gg/dmCYCKNwx7
