Shield Maiden Books Novels & Stories

Layla remembered that book. It was the Book Of Shadows. "She's not going anywhere near that book", Riven said angrily. He didn't want a situation where Layla would strangely disappear again. "Please Riven",Annabelle pleaded. "She needs this book if she's going to control her powers. This is the only book that can help her. No one else can, not even your witch" Henrietta glared at her but said nothing. "On the next full moon",Annabelle continued slowly, ignoring Henrietta's scathing look. "Layla will shift for the very first time. And it would be a painful process"

But the wind only laughs at me. ~~~ Kaia and I sit tucked in a corner of Warrenvale’s underground library, surrounded by spellbooks, old maps, and crumbling scrolls that smell like mildew and magic. It's the kind of quiet that feels sacred, like even your thoughts shouldn't be too loud. I’m tracing a sigil on the spine of a dusty book when Kaia gasps, slapping a heavy leatherbound tome down in front of me. "Read this. Now." The page she’s opened to has a title scrawled in ink that glimmers with remnants of ancient wards:

Maybe there are clues in there. Reiya: That is pointless. Ban: Why would that be? Reiya: The contents of all 7 books are the same as in that book. Ban: That's more confusing. Why would he write the same in all books and you're saying that they all started in the same way and ended in the same manner? Reiya: That is true but there is a reason for that. Ban: What is it? Reiya: The 7 books are enchanted. When the lords received their own book it was empty. There was nothing written in it at all.

Reaches for her robes. Whatever this is — these fragments, these deaths, this sentence written into her soul before she was born — she will not spend another seventeen years simply enduring it. The clan elders have decided this will be the year she sees the outside world. Her debut. The great revealing. The Hidden Daughter of Vaelith, finally presented to a world that has mostly stopped believing she exists. She pulls her collar straight. Adjusts the silver clasp at her shoulder. Catches her own reflection in the dark window glass — pale and still and, in the absence of careful expression, briefly, terribly tired.

“A tale tells of local pirates coming over from time to time, out on this side of the sea” The voice of Makai, broke out, earning the chuckles from the number of sight-seers, who seemed to be enjoying their time, meanwhile here I was, sat lone with an aching heart, yearning to know if the man I loved was alright. “That can’t be true!” A little girl squealed, the sound of her chuckles pouring out, but her utterance was returned with a light squeeze from the lady beside her. “Oh, believe me. It is!” Followed Makai. “They go around hunting for little ones to get aboard their ships” He pinched her cheeks, earning a low laugh from her.

One white priestess was crouched down on her knees and for a moment I had to take a moment to focus but then I was brought into the light and saw it was Caroline. Sophia and Clara were on either side of her going to her aide. Then Laura made her way over and Laura gasped. “Caroline you have the High Priestess marking.”

Restricted Archives. The sign should have been enough to stop me.It wasn’t.I descended. The temperature dropped with every step, until the air itself felt sealed away from the rest of the world. At the bottom, a single table sat beneath a flickering torch, covered in books that looked older than anything I had ever seen. One title stood out. The Fall of the Shadow Queens. My breath slowed as I opened it.The pages were fragile, the ink faded but still legible.Illustrations showed figures surrounded by living darkness, not casting shadows but commanding them as extensions of themselves.

They will just laugh at her. She just had a shower and a white towel was still wrapped around her naked body. She felt gross at Gale's touched and kissed. Yeah, he's handsome and masculine but she didn't felt any single feelings for him even infatuation. Her heart belongs to nobody since she fell twice and there will be no thrice. Being broken and pregnant to someone who betrayed her was a nightmare she didn't want to dream anymore. She set an evil look to think about the outcome of her plan to destroy Eloisa and her marriage with Kent. A little wait and the last laughter goes to her.

It was better than trusting people closer to her whom she was sure that the moment they would get to learn all her secrets, they show their true colours and use all the information she had fed them with to humilitae and bring her down. The moon will only shine with the secrets at night and when everyone rises the next day, it would go into a hideout with the secrets hidded deep into it. As she laid there, eargely waiting for it, she smiled when she saw a star blinking from afar. She blew a kiss at it and asked it to shine forever because it had no idea the push of life it was giving her. More starts glittered, and the night ascended like a velvet cloth, swallowing every tree, shrubs and the
