Shadow Between Us

Between Wings

“In a house divided by status, secrets, and the whisper of wings, freedom feels as distant as the stars.” When Laura Charles takes a position at the prestigious Wyndham Estate, she plans to keep her head down, her past hidden, and her heart untangled. Among the polished silver and immaculate halls, she’s determined to play her part as the perfect lady's maid: quiet, diligent, and invisible. But nothing at Wyndham is as simple as it seems. From Amber, the exuberant housemaid, to Mrs. Hobbs, the sharp and rigid housekeeper, the servants' hall brims with personalities as complex as the estate itself. Among them is Aleksi, a towering, sharp-tongued footman whose presence stirs something Laura can't quite define. As their paths cross in unexpected ways, sparks fly—not of romance but of class tension and sharp disdain. Yet beneath the barbs and silences lies an unsettling intensity that neither can fully ignore. Meanwhile, the estate hides more than just its opulent splendor. Foreign servants whisper in a language Laura doesn’t understand, and the weight of expectations crushes everyone under the roof, noble or not. In a world where every glance and gesture is a battle for survival, trust becomes a dangerous luxury, and the line between ally and enemy blurs. As the seasons shift and the stakes rise, Laura finds herself trapped between two wings: the strict confines of duty and the yearning for something more—freedom, perhaps, or even love. But how far will she go to protect herself when her heart and her carefully constructed walls are both at risk of crumbling? Between Wings is a tale of class, romance, and survival, where every choice is fraught with danger and even the smallest kindness can have far-reaching consequences. For fans of slow-burn romance, rich historical drama, and characters navigating a world determined to define them, this is a story of transformation and defiance against all odds.

Born with luminescent white hair and piercing icy-blue eyes, he quickly discovers that his abilities are far beyond those of ordinary mortals. As a child, his natural curiosity and compassion set him apart, but it is during a fateful incident in the village market—when he unleashes a surge of energy to protect a defenseless stray—that his destiny begins to unfold. Now a young warrior in training, Saru’s journey takes him from humble beginnings to the grand Measuring Ceremony, where his prodigious power is revealed before a captivated audience. With the mystical Soul Prism as his witness, his inner system awakens, and he summons his loyal shadow guardians—Umbra, Noctis, and Eclipse—each representing a facet of his growing strength. As he vows to master his power and level up his shadows, dark forces begin to stir. Amidst rising tensions, a formidable sorcerer named Lord Zerex plots in the shadows, intent on either harnessing or extinguishing Saru’s light. Faced with ruthless bandit attacks and political intrigue, Saru must learn to balance his extraordinary abilities with wisdom and compassion. "Shadow Break: The Awakening" sets the stage for an epic saga of self-discovery, where every challenge shapes a young guardian destined to reshape his world—a journey where light battles darkness, and every victory comes with the price of responsibility.

Between-worlds

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.
