Star Wars Legacy Of The Shadow Born

Born of the Evil Dragon

Born of the Evil Dragon is set in a low-magic world. The story unfolds in a once-great empire that has crumbled under its own weight—its power, splintered by internal corruption, external invasions, and a cataclysmic coup. At the heart of this world is Evius Draconis, a young man with a mysterious past, raised not by the fallen human royal family but by a mercantile elven family. His upbringing was shaped by the wisdom and ancient traditions of the elves, rather than the decadence of imperial royalty. While his ties to the empire are deep and complicated, Evius himself stands apart, forged by a different heritage. The story begins with the coup orchestrated by Casso Isetus, the leader of the Black Dragon Syndicate, who overthrows the emperor Edric Valedraco. Under the guise of saving the nation, Casso swiftly gains control of the palace and the empire, but his true motives soon become clear: power for its own sake. He betrays the emperor, murders the empress Aurelia Valedarco and the crown prince Dorian Valedarco, and installs himself as the ruler of the land. With the fall of the imperial family, the nation plunges into chaos, its people suffering under Casso’s brutal rule. Amidst this upheaval, Evius emerges as a figure of resistance. Though not of royal blood, he possesses the strategic brilliance and leadership qualities instilled in him by his elven guardians. With a small band of loyal allies, he embarks on a perilous journey to reclaim the empire, fighting not only against Casso's forces but against the very spirit of the empire’s destruction. Along the way, Evius uncovers the bitter truth: he is not so different from the tyrant he fights. To revive the empire, he must face the darkness within himself—his ambition, his willingness to sacrifice, and the terrible power that awaits him. Born of the Evil Dragon is an epic tale of revival and ruin, loyalty and betrayal, hope and despair. It delves deep into the complexity of power, exploring whether one can retain their humanity when faced with the temptations of vengeance and ambition. It is a story about the price of restoring a broken world, and the personal sacrifices required to achieve something greater than oneself.

SHADOW OF THE HEIRESS

Blurb: Adopted into the wealthy Hargrove family, Charlotte believed she had found her place in the world. But the return of Evelyn, the rightful heiress, triggers a series of strange events: shadowy figures in the woods, whispers in the walls, and memories Charlotte can’t recall. Jack, a mysterious figure who claims to be her protector, warns her of a deadly ritual tied to a centuries-old curse. As the lines between truth and deception blur, Charlotte must uncover the family’s darkest secrets before the curse claims her life—or her sanity. Trope: Adopted into danger, unraveling family secrets, an immortal protector with ulterior motives, and a “chosen one” caught in a web of betrayal and destiny. Climax: The cult captures both Charlotte and Evelyn, preparing to enact the ritual in the family chapel. Jack, overcome with guilt, helps Charlotte escape, but Evelyn refuses to leave, convinced her death is inevitable. Charlotte confronts the cult leader, who reveals that breaking the curse requires the destruction of the family artifact—a mirror that binds the ancient force. The artifact can only be destroyed by someone tied to both bloodlines. Charlotte, realizing her connection to the Hargrove legacy, uses the mirror to unleash the trapped force on the cult. In a final twist, Jack sacrifices himself to destroy the mirror and sever his immortality, ensuring the curse is broken. Denouement: • Charlotte and Evelyn: Evelyn survives but leaves the estate, seeking a new life free from the family’s dark history. Charlotte continues to rebuild and redefine her identity without the shadow of the curse. • Hints of Lingering Darkness: Although the curse is broken, remnants of the ancient force linger in the woods, suggesting not all is resolved. • Final Revelation: Charlotte finds a hidden journal from Jack, hinting at deeper truths about her origins and the possibility that she may not have been adopted by chance.
