Amanda The Jedi Shadow And Bone

This is the story of Lucien Dion — the cold and ruthless CEO of Dion Biotics. A man shrouded in mystery, whose life is filled with silent scars and a long line of dark family secrets. Lucien enters the spotlight when his Mother, Lara Dion — whom he deeply resents, finally reveals his existence. This revelation stuns the board of directors at Dion Biotics, especially those who were plotting to take the company from Lara under the excuse that, as a woman without an heir, she was unfit to lead. Now exposed, these wolves begin to stir and amongst them is Mrs. Gloria Dubois, one of the fiercest players in the game, determined to uncover what lies beneath the surface of the Dion legacy. As Lucien reclaims what was meant to be his, he crosses paths with Bernadette — a soft, demure young woman whose gentle nature stands in stark contrast to his coldness.

This is a story of power, family, betrayal, hidden identities and a dangerous love that will question everything you thought you knew. DARE to step into the shadows?

Assigned by a mysterious system to expose Aiden’s hidden crimes, Raven must navigate a world of power, deception, and danger. But the closer she gets to the truth, the harder it becomes to tell friend from foe… and to resist the undeniable pull toward the man she was supposed to betray. In a game where trust is a weapon, and love is a risk, will Raven choose revenge or redemption? Or will she lose herself in the billionaire’s shadow forever?

In a world where cities float above the earth and ancient beasts roam the land, truth has long since been buried beneath the clouds… Seventeen-year-old Aryan has lived his entire life in a cursed land city — a crumbling outpost surrounded by monsters with fangs like swords and demons with human faces. His mother, a low-tier Light wielder, died from a mysterious illness when he was seven. His father? Vanished in a classified government mission years earlier, investigating the very secrets the world refuses to speak of — the beasts, the demons… and the floating cities themselves. No one knows Aryan exists — not the ruling government, not the elite nobles who live high above in shining cities suspended 1000 feet in the sky, not even the assassin guilds and rebel warlords fighting for scraps of power on the surface. But Aryan is about to shatter their silence. Hidden within this fractured world lies a shattered ancient artifact — a mysterious cube once powerful enough to hold the balance between land, sky, and beyond. Split into four fragments, each held in secret corners of the world — from the heavenly Sky Government cities to the beast-infested wilds — its true purpose is unknown… but it calls to Aryan. As he journeys across deadly lands aboard flying warships, hunted by assassins, tracked by beasts, and haunted by fragments of his parents’ forgotten legacies, Aryan begins to uncover a terrifying truth: The cities were never meant to float... The beasts were never meant to exist... And he was never meant to survive. But fate doesn’t care what the world intended. Aryan is coming — and he’s not just looking for answers. He’s looking to break the sky open.
