A Star Is Born

The Shadow Born Legacy

Shadowborne Estate is set among the remote heights of Mount Umbra. Its residents are the most feared family of assassins across the globe, and they are known by only one name: the Shadowborne. The mention of their name strikes fear on the lips of kingdoms, and death knocks quietly on the doors with unfailing accuracy. Trained from childhood, each an exceptionalist in their own right as shaped by the harshest of absolutist abuse and untamed loyalty to the family's dynasty. But the youngest successor, Kael, who begins to question the morality of the family’s line of work, becomes the catalyst that causes cracks in the family’s otherwise ironclad code. Kael, driven by curiosity and a desire to break free, seeks out the truth hidden in the Shadowborne archives: truths about where they come from, the curse that binds their bloodline, and the cost of wielding the magic that can ultimately consume them. Kael’s contentious actions set off a cascade of events that will find him at odds with his merciless siblings, who will do whatever it takes to protect the Shadowborne legacy. As alliances change and betrayals pile up, Kael must make a choice: Will he destroy the legacy he was born into or adopt it to protect those he loves? Twilight of the Shadowborne Legacy is that of loyalty to family and respect for blood, tangled as it is with dark legacy, the struggle for a generation between adoration of our lineage and defiance against our hearts.

His A-list Star: A glamorous comeback

Excerpt~~ "Do you know how long— I have wanted to do this?" When he spoke up, his voice was husky, a mixture of desire and sincerity. Matching with the look in his eyes. Sending this strong vibration across her body. "From the very time I saw you, walking down that aisle, dressed to kill. And all I could picture at that moment was how to get my hands on you." A smile lit up her face as her heart made a joyful leap at his words. She felt that fluttering sensation in the pit of her stomach. Hot blood ran down her spine, as she lifted a hand to stroke his cheek to be certain he was real and not some hologram before leaning forward to trail a simple and soft kiss on his hard- chiseled chin. This is where she wanted to be, in his arms. Safe and secured. "Now that I think about it, I caught you staring at me that I almost lost a foot—- you literally were drooling on me." He laughed. His laughter was so rich, it sent her heart racing again. Out of the ladies I have acted alongside with, I have to admit— I'm not saying this to make you feel elated or to sound cheesy but it was what I felt at that moment. I felt that connection I had never felt before in all the female actors I have acted with. Truth be told, you are the best……" Synopsis~~ Jane Anderson was a rising star who was making waves with her acting talent, but at some point had to give up some big roles because of her boyfriend and it had always been her dream to act alongside a top actor, Toro Wilson.
