Shadow And Bone Fanfiction

Three years ago, Ethan Vance—the brilliant prodigy of Vance Enterprises—was framed for high treason, stripped of his patents, and left to die in the freezing Northern Wastelands by his stepbrother, Julian, and his fiancée, Evelyn. They believed Ethan was erased forever. They were wrong. Surviving the brutal abyss, Ethan rose through blood and iron to become the Supreme Lord of the global underground syndicate known as the Dragon Order. Returning in mud-stained rags on the night Julian celebrates his corporate takeover, Ethan launches a campaign to tear down their fraudulent empire brick by brick. Bound to Claire Montgomery—a proud, struggling heiress caught in a desperate arranged marriage—Ethan clears her family’s crippling debts in a single night, proving his word is absolute. As Ethan systematically dismantles the corrupt elite of River City and the Capital, he uncovers a far darker truth: his father's murder was ordered by hidden martial clans and ancient shadow syndicates controlling the world from behind the scenes. To protect his wife and secure true justice, Ethan must step out of the corporate shadows, awaken his ancient golden dragon bloodline, and lead a multi-realm war to become the Apex Sovereign of the world.

Seventeen-year-old Rune Weaver thought his biggest problem was surviving senior year at New Haven High. Then a shadow creature attacked him in the school parking lot, and a mysterious man saved his life by throwing fire from his bare hands. Now Rune knows the truth: he is descended from an ancient line of sorcerers called Etherwind, and the darkness that destroyed his ancestors five hundred years ago has returned. He is not alone. Four other teenagers across the city have just discovered their own magical heritage, each from a different Etherwind bloodline. Together they are the last hope against Grimfall, an ancient force of living darkness that feeds on fear and despair. But learning magic is not like the movies. Their powers are wild and dangerous, and every spell they cast brings them closer to the madness that consumed their ancestors. As the shadows spread across New Haven, turning ordinary people into mindless thralls, Rune and his unlikely allies must master their abilities before Grimfall completes its return. They have six weeks until the convergence, when the barrier between worlds falls completely. Six weeks to become the sorcerers their bloodlines demand. Six weeks to save everyone they love from being swallowed by eternal night.

When creation shattered, the pieces remembered the one who broke it. Kael Ardent was a scientist chasing the impossible, a machine that could bend time and save the woman he loved from death. But the moment he activated it, the world fractured. Reality splintered into countless realms, each a reflection of his grief, his guilt, and his forgotten power. Now stranded between dimensions and hunted by the echoes of what he once was, Kael must journey through broken worlds born of his own mistakes. In every realm, he faces a truth he tried to bury, that the universe itself remembers him and demands balance. From the ashes of dying cities to the silence at the edge of eternity, Kael’s path becomes one of redemption and revelation. The deeper he ventures, the more he learns that the fracture is not merely destruction but rebirth, and that love can shape even the laws of creation. To mend existence, Kael must confront the one force greater than his own will, the shadow of himself that seeks to finish what he began. Fractured Realms is a cosmic epic of light and ruin, blending science, fantasy, and emotion into a story of one man’s struggle to rebuild the worlds he destroyed and the love that refuses to die even when reality does.

Ten years ago, Alex ran away from his cutthroat bloodline to be a good, normal man. His goodness earned him a grave. Alex Carter died in the ashes of a burning warehouse—or so his treacherous wife, Lisa, and his backstabbing best friend, Marcus, believed. Pinned beneath a burning beam, Alex watched the woman he loved turn her back and walk away, leaving him to burn so she could steal his company and his life. What Lisa didn’t know was that the humble, hardworking husband she betrayed was hiding a terrifying secret. He is Alexander Sterling, the runaway heir to the Sterling Consortium—a shadow economy worth quintillions that secretly controls the world's banks, governments, and armies. Now, pulled from the wreckage by his ruthless billionaire grandfather, Alex has spent six months forging his broken body into a weapon. Armed with the black Sterling Apex Card—a legendary artifact granting absolute, untrackable global power—he returns to the city that forgot him. Lisa and Marcus think they’ve won the world. But at their multi-million-dollar victory gala, the doors are about to lock. The music is about to stop. And the man they murdered is about to walk in and buy their entire existence in ten seconds.

He can’t see the dark. But the dark can see him. When a cosmic eclipse rips humanity’s shadows away, they don't just vanish...they hunt. Across the vertical concrete jungle of New York City, billions of detached silhouettes are slaughtering their owners, stepping into their skin to become hollow, malevolent Mimics. For Zyrus Miranda, a blind martial arts master, the apocalypse is just another Tuesday. Immune to the psychological terror paralyzing the sighted world, Zyrus navigates the pitch-black ruins through pure vibration and lethal precision. Together with Dixy Alvarez, a fierce, quick-witted parkour instructor who becomes his eyes in the chaos, Zyrus builds an underground resistance, teaching survivors how to fight blind to survive. But Zyrus’s greatest battle isn't with the monsters outside...it’s with his own rogue shadow. In a breathless, pitch-black alley duel, Zyrus’s iron will achieves the impossible: he subdues his shadow, forcing it into a symbiotic, weapon-shifting duo. Now, with a lethal shadow-partner bound to his carbon-fiber staff and Dixy fighting at his side, Zyrus must launch a vertical assault up One World Trade Center to shatter the cosmic core. The light is fading. Can a blind man guide humanity out of eternal darkness?

Akin Samuels is a globally acclaimed genius(although being sick of getting the fact reminded to him on a regular basis) in a world where the already existing technology is jaw dropping. But in such a world, the natural assumption would be that nothing could ever possibly go wrong, wouldn't it? Unfortunately for Samuels and everyone else in this world of his, SOMETHING does indeed go wrong, with that being a deadly new virus seems to have popped out of nowhere and claims the lives of billions of people, dropping the total world population to a number which is a shadow of what it should have been. Having something of a rebellious spirit, Samuels immediately doesn't believe in this piece of public knowledge to be true because the virus in itself is one shrouded by mystery and secrecy. So now, since the government has failed to do it's job, Samuels takes it upon himself to discover the truth using only his wits, brain and last in the list of things he possesses, a time machine. However, in doing so he is thrown and also forces those he care about into secrets of the world which were meant to never have been spoken of by certain people and is left to bare the consequences of his actions. What could this mean for the future and past of Samuels and those around him?

Three years ago, Lucas Vance was betrayed by his treacherous fiancée, framed for treason by the city's ruling elite, and thrown into the Black Iron Fortress to die. They thought they had destroyed him. They were dead wrong. The fortress was no ordinary prison—it was the secret training ground of the Shadow Syndicate, the global underground empire that controls world finance, black markets, and private armies. Three years later, Lucas emerges not as a helpless convict, but as the Sovereign Lord with absolute power over the world’s shadows. To crush his enemies without giving away his true reach, Lucas takes on the ultimate cover: a low-level personal bodyguard for Evelyn Sterling, the ice-queen CEO of Sterling Enterprises. His former betrayers laugh at his fall from grace, completely unaware that the "cheap security guard" standing behind Evelyn is the master pulling the strings of their financial doom. As corporate predators and underworld assassins close in, Lucas unleashes swift, terrifying retribution. When his enemies finally realize who he is, they fall to their knees, begging for the mercy they never showed him. But Lucas's gaze is ice-cold. Mercy? That is for the weak. They signed their death warrants the day they betrayed him. “Kneel in the rain for three days and nights,” Lucas commanded, his aura suffocating the room, “and maybe—just maybe—I won’t erase your entire lineage from this city.”

I was a disgrace to the Prestwick family—a poor, unwanted son-in-law they wished their daughter had never married. She had chosen me for my looks, but now, even that wasn’t enough. She wanted out. A divorce. To erase me from her life and marry into wealth like her family had always intended. But I loved her. Despite the insults, the humiliation, the way they treated me like dirt beneath their feet—I refused to let go. That was my biggest mistake. Frustrated by my defiance, my brother-in-law took matters into his own hands. He killed me, tossing my body into a cold, dark river, leaving me to sink into oblivion. I should have died. I did die. But before I took my final breath, a man appeared before me, cloaked in shadow, his voice like a whisper from the abyss. "What is your last wish?" I should have begged for revenge. I should have cursed their names. But all I wanted was one more chance. One more chance to live. And so, I was granted life again. But I was no longer the same. My soul was no longer my own. My body was no longer mine to control. Because I had been reborn as something far more powerful. I was no longer John Prestwick. I was the Devil himself.
