Nightshade Forsaken Novels & Stories

Tonight is the official full moon night, which is why the Alpha ceremony is happening on this specific day, even though Rune had his coming-of-age a few days ago. Maybe I’m finally going crazy, she thinks to herself and quickly gets lost in her thoughts before the looming feeling of being watched comes over her again. Before she has the chance to move, she is grabbed from behind and spun around to be pinned to the ground. A deep growl brings her to the sharp blue eyes with dark strands hanging in them hovering above her and practically glaring down at her. “What is your name?” he asks her, his voice deep and heavy. “S-Serenia Hansen, your H-Highness.” She is barely able to get the words out,

"They live among us Walk-in our dreams And see right through Our deepest desires They hear our thoughts. And prey on our fears Their soft voices Echo in our minds with promises of forever Darkness falls They heed the call of thirst The night belongs to them Eyes burn red with hunger It's our blood they crave and it's our bloodline They wish to enslave When the birth of a new day Peaks over the horizon And our shadows rise to meet them They retreat to their sanctums And seek solace in dark places In the sun, we find comfort In the light, they disappear They are The Forsaken..." Cadence said the words out loud over and over, trying to make sense of them. After a while, though, she stopped tryi

The warmth of the evening air turned cold as Serena stared at the symbol seared into the paper—a jagged moon bleeding black ink, surrounded by thorned runes. Her fingers clenched around it involuntarily. The Forsaken. Once thought annihilated, they were little more than whispers in the dark, monsters parents warned their children about. But Serena knew this wasn’t folklore. It was real. The mark pulsed with the kind of malevolent energy that couldn’t be faked.

she said and I just nodded. I left the guest house feeling very disturbed by what Nadia had revealed to me. It sickened me that people could do this to other people but something kept niggling at the back of my mind but at the moment I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. I made notes as I listened to Nadia’s story again and I sent the recording to Jasper. He’d be back tomorrow morning and we would hatch a plan. I had also taken Timothy’s advice and ordered the nightshade flower. It was harmless to us and to humans but to vampires it was fatal.

I said, still bewildered. Ana took the bag from me and looked inside, "Nightshade seeds?!" She gasped, letting the bag fall from her hand in shock. I didn't blame her for her reaction. Having nightshades in your possession in Poison Fang was forbidden because of how lethal it was to the alpha and his family. "Why would you have this?" she asked, dumbfounded. "I didn't put it there. It dropped after I bumped into Laleh the other day," I explained.

“You’re saying that I’m connected to the Nightshade Clan? That my lineage is tied to theirs?” The figure’s eyes gleamed with a dark, twisted amusement. “It’s more than just a connection, Sera. You are the last of the Nightshade bloodline—the final heir to their power and their curse. It is your blood that holds the key to breaking the prophecy, to ending the cycle of darkness that has plagued your pack for centuries.” My breath caught in my throat as the truth settled in. The prophecy, the cursed pact, my role as Luna—it was all tied to the Nightshade Clan.

"What is it?" "Hope," I whispered. "It's hope." I scanned the ingredients list. Most were common herbs, things Malia could easily find. But one stood out: *Nightshade Bloom. Must be harvested during the dark moon from the Whispering Marshes.* The Whispering Marshes. Three days' journey south. Dangerous terrain filled with hostile wildlife and unstable magic. "I have to go," I said, closing the journal. I needed to put together, everything that was written in the journal, since it was a potential antidote to save Nora. It had the answers we sought. All of it.

"Shadowthorn essence is a dark poison derived from the thorns of the nightshade plant. They cause terrifying hallucinations, leading to paralysis." "While Whisperwind Venom is harvested from the elusive Whisperwind spiders dwelling in the ethereal forests, this poison imbues one's mind with haunting whispers and illusions, driving them to the brink of madness." "These poisons are not easily found. They are only in Kingdom Solstice." As tears streaked down my cheeks, I struggled to make sense of Dr. Halt's words. My shoulders sagged under the weight of the brutal revelation, and my eyes widened in shock. Frantically, I scanned the room, desperate for answers that slipped through my fingers li

Lara had finally found the hope she was searching for as the Wolf Healer began to tell her about something she was asking for. "There is a plant known as the 'Nightshade Essence," the healer spoke. "It’s the only remedy powerful enough to neutralize the dark magic Lord Draven has woven around your husband's friend. However, it’s not easy to obtain. The plant only blooms under the moonlight, deep within the Forbidden Woods." Lara felt a flicker of hope, but the healer’s grave expression warned her that this quest would not be simple. "What makes it so difficult to acquire?" she asked, curiously seeking an answer.

Wolves raced around, some trying to protect, some trying to flee. And in the center of it all, two massive creatures tore through the heart of the pack. At first, I didn’t know what I was looking at. They were monstrous things, hairless and twisted, their hulking forms towering at least ten feet tall. Their black eyes glinted like polished obsidian, soulless and cold. Forsaken. Forsaken had gotten through our borders. How the fuck had this happened? The forsaken moved with an eerie, unnatural precision, as if they weren’t just beasts but twisted mockeries of the wolves they had once been. Their hairless, grotesque forms towered over the chaos; their black eyes gleaming with nothing but hollo
