The book slipped slightly in my hand. And everything went dark.

But the end of what was unclear. I searched the abyss and found nothing. Fear overwhelmed me; images started to appear one by one. Cleo, Prue, work, mum, and the last was Damian. Each disappeared as if they were smoke. Whisps filled the air and dissipated one at a time until there was only one left. The whisp from Damian floated across to me. It morphed into a guiding light as the ticking became faster. Something deep inside felt the pull; I needed to follow it. Step by step, one foot in front of another, I followed his light. It led me to a door in the middle of the abyss. The door stood solid in front of me as the whisp passed through it and disappeared.

“Who would do this?” “Someone who knows exactly what I am,” Kael murmured. “And wants you gone.” Miles away, beneath the foundations of an abandoned cathedral, the shadows were breathing. This was the sanctum of the Khor Zhil Lirieni, the Sect of the Shadow Flowers. The air here didn't smell of antiseptic or stale beer; it smelled of deep earth, copper, and a floral scent so sweet it was nauseating. The stone floor was etched with a massive, intricate incantation circle that seemed to glow with a faint, bruised purple light. Surrounding it were figures draped in hooded white robes.

She could feel the pull of the shadows, subtle but deliberate, and the familiar weight of Damon’s presence behind her, silent, protective, yet taut with tension, as though he too felt the danger creeping closer with every heartbeat. Ahead, the library beckoned, a sanctuary of knowledge and secrets, and perhaps, a mirror of the dangers that awaited her. The air grew thick as she entered, the scent of old leather and scorched paper wrapping around her, almost intoxicating in its familiarity. Her fingers brushed along the spines of the tomes, each one humming faintly, a resonance she could feel deep within her bones. And then, at the far end, a book with a blackened leather cover, etched with s

Golden arrows slowly emerged, timidly trying to chase away the shadows of the night. The great fire disc made its appearance. First, it emerged as a red line growing wider and wider until it rose victorious into the angelic blue sky, ready to stretch its arms over the whole earth. It tamed its color slightly, becoming comforting as it shyly soaked up the night frost with which you would think it was soothing its own color.

The truck sped across the muddy beaten path full of tire tracks from other vehicles. Lukas stared at the bright sky. Even if it was morning, the fact that the things they fight in the shadows existed made the world a dark one that no sunrise could ever illuminate. Back when he was living in ignorance, everything was colorful but when he was pulled into a battlezone where incarnated nightmares are the belligerents, everything just becomes black and white. And he thought that the Moro rebellion was dark enough. This conflict, simply known in the documents as the Shadow War, had made him see everything.

The morning light filtered weakly through the curtains, casting fractured patterns on the floor — much like my thoughts, splintered and jagged. I sat at the small kitchen table, clutching my cup of cold coffee, staring at the leather-bound book *Reflections of the Forgotten* open before me. The stories inside weren’t just tales — they were warnings, lessons written in sorrow and hope. Women who had lived as shadows, trapped in lives borrowed from others, fighting to reclaim their own reflections.

My wolf replied. I shook off the "what-ifs" that held me back and turned back to the towering oak shelves. My fingers traced the spines of leather-bound books, all of them layered in dust that made my nose itch. "Focus," I muttered to myself. "One monster at a time." I immediately admonished myself. I continued to look until I found the books my dad had recommended. I pulled the four heavy volumes from the shelves.

Book 2: Crown of Shadows Chapter 1: The Departure The carriage door closed with finality that echoed through her chest like a death knell. Through crystal-clear windows enhanced with court magic far beyond territorial capabilities, she watched Shadoweave's spires fade into pre-dawn mist. Each familiar landmark disappeared with the inexorable permanence of choices that couldn't be unmade.
