Beta And Shadow

In the kingdom of Aetherholt, a dark prophecy casts a long shadow over the birth of twin princes, Kael and Alaric. When an ancient curse threatens infant Kael, King Aric makes a desperate, secret pact with the enigmatic Veil, saving his son but binding himself to a chilling, consuming power known as Veilfire. Years later, as corrupted Riven Lords emerge and Prince Kael mysteriously vanishes, the true horror awakens: the Echo, a cosmic entity of unmaking, begins to consume Aetherholt. Kael reappears, no longer himself, but a terrifying conduit for the Echo, unleashing its destructive power from within the castle walls. As King Aric descends into a cold, relentless Warden, battling the Echo with his agonizing Veilfire, Queen Seraphina races against time. Her desperate research uncovers not only Alaric's inherent, pure counter-aura, but also the forbidden Altar of Severance and its horrifying truth: a ritual to free Kael, but at "The Price"—a soul-rending cost that will forever fracture the twins. In a climactic, brutal confrontation, Aric makes the ultimate sacrifice, using his consumed essence to contain the Echo within the shattered Ley Lines of Aetherholt. The kingdom is saved, but at an unbearable cost: Aric is unmade, and Kael and Alaric are left as profoundly changed "shadow" and "light" fragments, their bond irrevocably fractured. Volume One plunges into a world where salvation demands unimaginable sacrifice, and peace is merely the quiet after the storm.

But when a mysterious boy arrives at the gates — a traveler cloaked in grace and crowned with sapphire eyes — something ancient stirs within her. The aching behind her gaze begins to burn. The truth she once hid from now calls her forward. He carries secrets. She carries fire. And neither of them are ready for what will awaken between them. In a world ruled by deception and legacy, Seraphina must walk the delicate line between who she was raised to be… and the power she was born to wield. Because light and shadow are not enemies — They are two halves of the same bloom

I didn’t say a word as I felt my heart palpitate in anticipation. “Beta Perez, I…” Before I could speak, he continued. “I have decided to never let a woman into my life, Miss. James. I have learned long back that they only serve as a distraction. Why would I need a mate if I could have any women I want? Am I right, Miss. James?” He asked me as I felt my eyes burn, but I held back my tears. “A mate is your better half, Beta Perez.” I choked out the words when he let out a humorless laugh. “According to me, you need a mate to satisfy your needs and maybe an heir in the long run. I think I can buy that with some money, Miss. James.” “Don’t you feel the mate bond, Beta Perez?” I asked him, but he didn’t answer. “I would have at least considered mating with you if you held a rank, Miss. James. But I don’t think I want a woman who is a nobody with a lonely mother and a runaway father.” I felt my chest rise and fall in anger while something broke within me. A tense silence engulfed us as we stared at one another. Join us in this journey where Aurora and Zander find love again as sparks ignite between them and desire crackles in the air, the tension builds, pushing them closer together.
