Prince Of Sins And Shadows

They say every rose has its thorns, a silent warning to tread carefully. But what if I told you it isn’t the thorns you should fear? It’s the shadows—the unseen guardians that lurk behind the beauty. Ruthless and unforgiving, they will stop at nothing to protect what’s most precious: their rose. Alina is no ordinary rose. She is the epitome of allure, a vision of beauty so enchanting that time seems to halt when she smiles. Those who glimpse her are left breathless, captivated by her radiance. Yet, it is her eyes that set her apart—eyes said to be a gift from the heavens themselves. When they meet yours, it feels as if your very soul is laid bare, consumed by an otherworldly fire. Many have desired Alina, drawn to her irresistible charm. But none have truly understood the cost. For to claim this rose is to challenge the shadow that protects her—a perilous gamble where beauty hides danger, and desire may lead to ruin. Are you brave enough to face the shadow of this rose?

The world is not always as it seems. Beyond our everyday reality, greater things lie undiscovered—things that can bring both immense benefits and grave dangers. Mysteries, murders, clues, monsters, myths, and legends swirl around us, stemming from the minds of ancient thinkers and passed down through generations. Some believe, while others remain skeptical. Amidst these unsolved mysteries, one detective becomes so deeply involved that he unknowingly crosses into an unfamiliar realm. Here, he must relearn the very essence of common sense, facing trials that challenge his understanding of existence. In this wondrous yet terrifying world, the adage "seeing is believing" falls short. This detective, foretold in prophecies from a bygone era, holds a unique power. As the "Sacramentum Possessor," he is destined to protect others from harm and safeguard the planet from beings with extraordinary abilities. His journey is one of hidden fate, as he navigates a world where he must remain concealed to fulfill his purpose.

In a world ruled by secrets and magic, Prince Kaelin, the outcast of his royal family, lives a life consumed by shadows—both literally and figuratively. His blood carries an ancient curse that binds him to mysterious spirits, making him more ghost than human. Yet, this curse is also the source of his family’s power. When he is forced to marry Princess Eliara, heir to the radiant Kingdom of the Sun, to end a century-long war, Kaelin finds himself ensnared in a web of political and emotional intrigue. Eliara is not just a dazzling beauty; she is a flame that harbors secrets capable of burning anyone who dares come close. Amidst a complex political game, inter-kingdom conspiracies, and magical entities vying for control of the world, Kaelin and Eliara must face their intertwined fates. But can a flame of light and a shadow of darkness unite without destroying each other? Prince's Shadow is a tale of betrayal, sacrifice, and forbidden passion in a dark world where light and darkness collide, and every step might be the last. Who will survive? And who will shatter? Only time will tell.

In a world where everyone is a slave, someone is born who cannot be controlled. At the same time, an unstoppable villain rises on a quest for revenge. But the truth is darker than he ever imagined, and now he must face an unbeatable enemy — including himself. *** Bruno was a young man born on Earth, the son of an influential modern Emperor. Despite having everything money could buy and receiving the best and most rigorous training to succeed his father, he chose the opposite path, defying his family’s ruthless rule. The price of his innocence? A merciless death and the complete erasure of his existence by the deity controlling his fate. On Earth, the law of the powerful was absolute; a slave could never rebel. But then, he wakes up again. He’s reborn in a world of cultivation, where freedom was promised to those strong enough to claim it. Now, he could soar like a free bird and carve his own destiny... or so he thought. The harsh reality of this new world soon showed him how insignificant he still was. He realized he had only changed masters. The freedom he sought was an illusion. The heavenly laws treated everyone as servants, and their rules were unbreakable. Bruno learned this bitter truth after losing everything that made him happy due to an unjust rule. But who was he to question? Hopeless, Bruno died... and was reborn as Alm, an unstoppable villain. With a soul poisoned by pain and vengeance, he sowed chaos across the universe. Planets were destroyed, countless lives taken, and his name became synonymous with terror. A hero rose to oppose him, wielding a sacred sword of hope. People from all corners of the universe united against Alm, raising their voices and weapons to stop the villain who defied the heavens. But Alm was no longer just fighting for revenge. He was challenging the heavenly laws that sought to control him, fighting fate and all living beings. And against all odds... the sacred sword shattered. The alliance of the entire universe was defeated. The villain won! Now, Alm found himself alone in the empty void of a dead universe, facing his own inner demons. Who could be more ruthless to him than himself? “What have I done?” At that moment, the doors of truth opened to him. Everyone was a puppet of a supreme figure, an entity that manipulated minds and even the heavenly laws. “I will find you, no matter where you are!” Thus, the last emissary of the true Heaven’s Will awakened. Alm, who once only relied on his sheer will and rage, now had a system to guide him. But his opponent was an immortal existence, above even the heavens. The villain who destroyed an entire universe now faced a new beginning. He discovered that the universe he devastated was just a tiny grain of sand in an infinite cosmos, where countless other universes existed. And so begins the legendary tale of the villain’s rise... and the Sacred Round God? A strange Duality of Shadows existed within one person. But this time, he wouldn’t be alone. *** To clear up any potential confusion or frustration, here are some key points about the story. I’ll avoid major spoilers, but a few things will be revealed. You might find this concerning at first, but just check the book cover—it shows the main character and his only partner. She first appears at 10 years old, but rest assured, there’s no inappropriate content or early romance. At around 13, SHE starts developing feelings for the protagonist, but he doesn’t respond until she’s an adult. With her determined personality, she tries to seduce him at 17/18, but it doesn’t work. Their relationship only happens much later. The book has nods to other works, with my own spin on them, and focuses on avoiding elements I find problematic in other stories. Lastly, the beautiful book cover was commissioned and created by HDIArt.

It was the same offer every time a mortal summoned him, the crown prince of the shadow realm and the lord of wrath, Azrael Shadowraven de Nightfall. The demons bowed their heads to him. All creatures, mortals, and even angels feared him. However, everything changed after he was sent for a secret mission in the mortal realm to expand his seven sins power. Hiding his identity among the mortals, the vampires were attracted by his royal blood. The mortals were either jealous or admired his abilities. The angels were curious about him. The demons wanted to kill him and take over his power. Little did he know, he had another hidden power sealed inside of him. Something terrifying that could turn him either into the ruler of the three realms or an evil that could destroy all beings. -------------- *Most of my story has a big harem, I'm not interested in writing a small harem with only two or three girls.

Roderic stepped forward, his expression a mix of irritation and wariness. "Lysandra's methods are unorthodox, but they're effective," he said, his tone clipped. "You'll find no one better at scouting or taking down a target." "I can see that," Alaric replied, his lips curling into a faint, smile. "Though I imagine her sharp tongue is just as deadly as her blade." Lysandra crossed her arms, her smirk returning despite the weight of the knights' stares. "You have no idea."

In the kingdom of Nuralar, once a mighty land forged from the ruins of an ancient empire, a forgotten secret lies buried beneath its stone walls. For centuries, peace has reigned, but beneath this tranquility, shadows of a dark past stir. King Arlen, the last ruler of Nuralar, vanished mysteriously while searching for a powerful, ancient magic said to have been lost with the fall of the empire. With his disappearance, the kingdom's hope for restoring this lost power seems to fade. His son, Prince Kalen, now ascends the throne under the heavy burden of his father's unexplained vanishing. Determined to uncover the truth behind Arlen’s disappearance, Kalen embarks on a dangerous journey to find the ancient secrets that could save or destroy Nuralar. Along the way, he encounters old allies, treacherous foes, and hidden enemies, all while facing the truth about his father’s search for the lost magic that once sustained their kingdom. As Kalen unravels the mysteries of the past, he discovers that his father's search was more than a quest for power—it was an effort to prevent a dark and secretive cult from resurrecting the ancient empire. This cult, descendants of those who once controlled the lost magic, has long awaited the chance to reclaim their power and use it to reshape the world. Kalen must race against time to stop the cult from unleashing the same destructive force that led to the empire’s fall. But as he delves deeper into the kingdom's history, Kalen realizes that the true power is not just a force of magic, but an ancient curse tied to the royal bloodline. To save his kingdom, he must confront the darkest parts of his own lineage and decide whether to embrace or break the cycle that has haunted his family for generations. In a world where the past’s shadow threatens to consume the future, Prince Kalen’s courage and determination will be tested like never before. Will he restore his kingdom to its former glory, or will the fall of shadows consume all that he holds dear?

“The daughters of a man like that doesn’t deserve to live.” The crowd chattered angrily, they were ready to tear them apart. “The princesses of Elderslot should be put to death.” She raised her head slowly, she glanced at the current emperor of the Aubreun Empire, he wasn’t very much different from how she remembered him; he was only dressed in the clothes of the imperial palace and his name had changed. “Heads down you insolent witch!” One of the palace guards snapped before smacking her cheeks, her head snapped to the side and blood seeped from the cut. “The princesses of Elderslot should be put to death!” The crowd kept on chanting. “The tyranny of the duchy of Elderslot has come to an end his majesty should do us a favor and kill them all.” “Kill them all!” “Show no mercy!” “Off with their heads!” “Silence!” The Emperor yells and the crowd grew silent. “The house of Elderslot has indeed committed treason against the imperial family and the empire as a whole, but I assure you, the Duke of Elderslot and all those responsible has been executed.” Her heart hammered in her chest, and once again she dared to look up at him, he spoke with a dignified arrogance whilst radiating kingly aura; he was like a stranger. “My verdict is mercy, they shall be given their lives but their positions will be reduced to nothing.” The tears that well in her eyes, slipped and fell to her blooded dress. The Emperor turned in her direction as he spoke. “They shall be left with nothing,” their eyes met and his hardened immediately. “Nothing but shame and pain to clothe them.”

Emmie’s heart pounded as the figure rose from the shadows, thicker and grayer than before—a far more earthbound and sinister version of the one he thought he’d conquered. The sparkling light from the crystals above seemed to be sucked away, leaving a suffocating emptiness. Even the sound of his friends’ breaths around him grew faint, their voices—one of concern, another of reassurance—muffled echoes through the cavern behind him. Yet he knew he had to press forward, deeper into the darkness, and face this alone. For now. The figure stepped closer, slow and deliberate, its glowing eyes radiating an icy malevolence. “You think you’ve overcome your fears?” it hissed, its voice sharp and grating. “That was nothing. I am the fog inside you—the one you ignore, the one that carves at you.” Emmie swallowed hard, forcing himself upright despite the shaking in his legs. “I’m not afraid of you,” he said, summoning courage he didn’t fully feel. “I’ve come too far to turn back.” The figure’s laughter crawled down his spine. “Brave, so brave… but so foolish. You’ve barely begun to uncover the truths buried in your soul. Your doubts, your regrets, your anger—they feed me.” For a moment, Emmie faltered. The words clawed at wounds he’d tried to ignore, stirring his doubts: Could he truly protect his friends? Were his choices enough? The darkness seemed to press closer, suffocating him with its weight. But then he remembered Mira’s voice, full of faith. He thought of Amara’s bright laughter and Cory’s unwavering support. They had believed in him when he couldn’t believe in himself. “Maybe I do doubt,” Emmie admitted, meeting the figure’s glowing gaze. “But those doubts don’t define me. My friends believe in me, and I believe in myself.” The figure’s eyes narrowed, frustration flickering within. “Conviction alone won’t save you,” it hissed. “Your friends are far, and here, it’s just you and me.” It raised its arm, and the shadows coiled into smoky tendrils, striking toward him. Emmie dodged just in time as they slammed into the ground, shattering the stone and sending shards flying. His heart raced, his footing unsteady, but he pushed himself upright. A faint light flickered in his hand—small but wholly his. The figure laughed, mocking him. “Is that all? A tiny flicker? Pathetic.” Emmie clenched his jaw. “It’s enough,” he said. “This light is everything I fought for, everything I believe in.” The figure snarled, and the darkness surged again, crashing against Emmie’s light. Straining against the tide, he closed his eyes and steadied his breathing. He thought of his friends, their unwavering faith, and his purpose. The light steadied, burning brighter. At that moment, he heard their voices—Mira, Amara, and Cory—calling to him. The sound reignited his resolve. As their light joined his, the shadow recoiled, its form shattering under their combined strength. The figure’s voice echoed as it faded: “This isn’t over, Emmie. This is just the beginning.” Emmie stood firm, unwavering. “I’ll be ready. Let’s finish this.”
