Sonic Vs Shadow Art

The Shadow Knight is a dark fantasy novel that follows the transformation of Kaelen Dawnblade, a once honourable knight whose world is shattered when the corrupt religious Council falsely accuses his family of heresy. The story begins with Kaelen serving faithfully as a Knight-Captain in the Holy Citadel of Light. His perfect life crumbles when he's summoned to the capital, where the High Council, led by Grand Inquisitor Matthias, fabricates charges of shadow cult involvement against House Dawnblade. Despite Kaelen's protests, his family is systematically destroyed. His father executed, his sister Lyanna tortured, and his young nephew Marcus killed during "questioning." After escaping imprisonment, Kaelen discovers the true nature of the Council's corruption: they've been eliminating eastern lords who questioned their increasing taxes and power. Consumed by rage and betrayal, Kaelen encounters a mysterious merchant who guides him to the Soulstone, an ancient artifact of darkness. Through brutal trials that strip away his humanity piece by piece, he transforms into the Shadow Knight, a being of darkness with extraordinary powers. As the Shadow Knight, Kaelen begins a calculated campaign of vengeance against the Council, gathering allies among the oppressed. He discovers his new abilities allow him to destroy and heal, creating an unexpected inner conflict. Throughout his journey, he struggles with what remains of his humanity, ultimately choosing to retain his sense of justice rather than becoming a mindless force of destruction. The novel explores themes of corruption, vengeance, transformation, and the thin line between justice and revenge. As Kaelen evolves from righteous knight to shadow wielding avenger, the story questions whether one can fight monsters without becoming a monster oneself.

Dunia hitam Antonio Valentino runtuh setelah sebuah kecelakaan merenggut satu-satunya hal yang tak bisa ia beli: dia tak bisa ejakulasi layaknya pria pada umumnya. Dokter-dokter terbaik hanya bisa mengangkat bahu—"Coba saja dengan wanita lain." Tapi tak satu pun berhasil. Hingga suatu malam, nasib memberinya kejutan paling memalukan. Seorang wanita mabuk salah masuk ke kamar hotelnya. Dalam kabut anggur dan amarah, Antonio terkejut saat tubuhnya—yang mati rasa selama berbulan-bulan—tiba-tiba meresponsnya. Gila. Tapi nyata. Keesokan harinya, kenyataan menghantam: wanita itu adalah Dr. Liana Hart, dokter rumah sakit biasa yang tak sengaja terseret dalam konflik mafianya. Dan yang lebih parah—dia sama sekali tidak ingat malam itu. Antonio yakin Liana adalah "obat"-nya, sementara Liana bersikeras ada penjelasan medis di balik semua ini. Saat Antonio memaksanya bekerja sama, permainan tarik-ulur dimulai. Dia menolak, tapi tubuhnya merespons setiap sentuhan Antonio. Dia membencinya, tapi tak bisa menjelaskan kenapa mimpi-mimpinya dipenuhi bayangan pria itu. Dia tahu ini salah, tapi mengapa rasanya... sangat benar? Di tengah bahaya mafia yang mengintai dan rahasia gelap Antonio, Liana terjebak antara logika dan keinginan yang tak bisa dibohongi. "Kau pikir aku gila? Tapi tubuhku tak pernah bohong, Liana. Hanya kau yang bisa membangkitkannya." Akankah kebenaran menyatukan mereka—atau justru menghancurkan segalanya?

"Meskipun pernikahan ini terjadi tanpa rasa cinta. Tapi malam pertama kita gak boleh di tunda." Sinta melirik sekilas, lalu mendengkus. "Hh! Dasar cowok mesum!" gerutunya. "Emang kamu pikir aku mau!?" sentak Sinta. Rama menarik ujung bibirnya. Kemudian mencondongkan tubuhnya lebih dekat. "Mesum sama istri sendiri itu wajar," bisiknya tepat di depan wajah Sinta. Mata Sinta melebar, susah payah ia menahan degup jantungnya yang mulai menggila karena jarak mereka tidak lebih dari lima sentimeter. Sinta bahkan bisa merasakan napas hangat Rama menyapu kulit wajahnya. "Gugup ya?" Rama mengedipkan sebelah matanya untuk menggoda Sinta. "Si-siapa bilang!" elak Sinta, lalu mendorong dada Rama menjauh. Rama terkekeh geli melihat tingkah Sinta. "Lo berharap gue cium ya?" goda Rama lagi. "Gilak kamu!" maki Sinta. "Siapa juga yang mau sama bekas cewek lain!" sambungnya. "Oh, jadi lo cemburu." Sinta menghunus Rama dengan tatapannya. "Gak!" tegasnya. "Wajar kok, Sin. Tapi yang penting sekarang 'kan gue cuma punya lo." Lagi-lagi Rama mengerlingkan mata, mencondongkan tubuhnya lebih dekat pada Sinta. "Gue mau lo, Sin." Sinta meneguk ludahnya dengan susah payah. Hidung mereka kini saling menempel karena jarak yang begitu dekat. Sinta sendiri masih belum paham dengan situasi yang terjadi kini, tubuhnya membeku dan tidak bisa melawan saat Rama mulai meniti kancing bajunya. ***** Ketika kedua manusia yang memiliki banyak perbedaan sikap, sifat dan kelakuan harus terikat dalam sebuah ikatan bernama 'PERNIKAHAN' Mampukah keduanya saling melengkapi di setiap kekurangan dan mengubur kenangan cinta pertamanya masing-masing?
