Shadow And Bone

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.

Ten years ago, Kael Draven was the pride of his family and the brightest genius in Emberfall Town. At just eight years old, he had already climbed to heights other cultivators only dreamed of. Everyone said he was destined for greatness. But one failed breakthrough shattered his future. His cultivation collapsed, his talent vanished, and the boy once hailed as a prodigy became the family’s greatest disgrace. Branded a waste, mocked and beaten by his own kin, Kael endured a decade of humiliation with nothing to show for it. Everything changes the night he discovers a strange black seal hidden in the Elderstone Hall. When his blood awakens the Dragon Seal, a shadow of a dragon roars to life, and the truth is revealed—Kael carries the Desolate Sacred Body, a physique both feared and revered. Cursed to demand endless energy yet blessed with limitless potential, it is both his greatest weakness and his greatest weapon. With the Nine Cycles of Samsara carved into his soul and the Dragon Seal at his side, Kael’s path begins anew. The family that scorned him will learn fear. The rivals who mocked him will kneel. And the world will remember the name they once spat on. He is no longer trash. He is the War Dragon.

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?

For ten years, the world knew him only as a myth The Young Marshal. The government’s most classified weapon. The commander of 200,000 troops. A man whose face was forbidden from appearing in public. But Lorenzo Romano has finally come home. After a decade of bloodshed on distant battlefields, Lorenzo returns to Marina Azzurra with nothing but a duffel bag and a promise carved into his heart: Find Carolina Pescatori… the girl who once saved his life. She moved on. She became famous. She doesn’t even know the war hero the world worships was once the street boy she helped all those years ago. Haunted by war, burdened by secrets, and followed by a shadow of power he can’t escape, Lorenzo wants only one thing— to repay the kindness that kept him alive when nothing else could. But in a city of politics, wealth, hidden enemies, and old betrayals, the return of the Young Marshal is not a blessing… It’s a spark. One that could ignite a war far deadlier than the one he left behind. And when Carolina finally meets him a gain, she must decide— Is he the hero the nation calls a legend… or the broken weapon he believes himself to be?

Humanity trembles under the shadow of demons—humanoid beings who appeared without warning, wielding unimaginable power. In mere days, they conquered an entire continent and now set their sights on the rest of the world. Standing between mankind and annihilation are the Exorcists, elite warriors who channel sacred energies to repel the demonic tide. Nineteen-year-old Nathan Reyes has spent his life dreaming of joining their ranks, determined to protect the innocent and avenge the devastation wrought upon his city. But one day, everything goes wrong. Nathan unknowingly absorbs a demon core. Now burdened with volatile demonic energy swirling inside him, Nathan stands at the edge of humanity and monstrosity. His once-heroic dream is threatened by suspicion, fear, and his inner darkness. Yet this forbidden power may be the key to defeating the demons once and for all—if Nathan can master it before it consumes him. In a world where light and darkness blur, Demon Core Exorcist is a pulse-pounding urban fantasy of mystical battles, secret legacies, and the price of power—and of a young man determined to carve his path between salvation and damnation. --------------- I'd appreciate it if you could take a look at my book and share your thoughts.

Synopsis: The world ignored him, the System insulted him, but the Void chose him. In a world ravaged by dimensional rifts, Jaden Grey was nothing more than F-rank "scum." As a Beastmaster, he was mocked for only being able to tame a weak, helpless Moss Caterpillar. The humiliation peaked when his own team betrayed him, using him as monster bait and leaving him to a grizzly death in the depths of an A-Rank Dungeon. Yet, on the brink of death, a cold voice echoed in his mind: [Hidden Conditions Met: Unlocking the Void Evolution System.] That despised Moss Caterpillar mutated into a primordial predator from the void dimension. From a frail insect, it became a shadow sovereign capable of devouring Mana and severing the soul contracts of elite Hunters. Now, Jaden has returned from the darkness. He no longer seeks validation. With a Void Insect on his shoulder and the Eye of Evolution—capable of seeing the dead ends of fate—he will hunt down those who once trampled upon him. One by one, arrogant young lords and massive sects will fall to their knees. For in the presence of the Void Beastmaster, there are only two choices: Evolve or become Prey! "You used to call me trash. Now, let my pet sweep the world clean of your existence."

To everyone at the university, Riley was nothing more than a pathetic errand boy, a shadow to be stepped on. But when his girlfriend, Ema, dumps him for a wealthy playboy, the mask begins to crack. Riley isn't just rich; he is the hidden heir to the legendary Blade legacy, a name so powerful that the city itself was built in his honor. As his secret identity leaks, the stakes shift from petty school bullying to a global war for blood and business. From stadium-sized public humiliations to dodging assassins sent by his own "family," Riley is no longer playing the part of the victim he is coming for the throne. The impostors who stole his name have spent decades trying to wipe out his bloodline, but they made one fatal mistake: they thought Riley was alone. Now, with his influence spreading like wildfire across the world, it’s time for the ultimate face-slapping revelation. Riley is ready to reclaim his legacy, but as the truth about the "True Blade" bloodline is finally unraveled, he discovers a secret his enemies would kill to keep buried... **He thought he was the only one left, but if the legends are true, who is the person watching him from the shadows with the exact same Blade crest?**

When the System descended upon the megacity of Aetherion, it promised humanity a new golden age, levels, classes, and power for every citizen. Adrian Voss received nothing. No nameplate. No level. No class. He is Level Zero, the only person the System cannot see, measure, or control. As five god-like AIs known as the System Council seize absolute power, society collapses into a brutal hierarchy where level determines worth and obedience is survival. Black spires rise, Enforcers hunt anomalies, and humanity is forcibly rewritten into compliant cogs of the New Order. Invisible to the System’s surveillance, Adrian becomes the ultimate ghost in their machine. While others fight to survive within the rules, he can walk through enemy lines, sabotage their infrastructure, and strike at the heart of the Council’s empire without triggering a single alarm. But the Council has noticed the anomaly. Hunted by the ruthless Reaper and predicted by the all-seeing Oracle, Adrian must gather a fragile resistance of “Glitches” — survivors whose correction is failing, and wage a shadow war against gods who rule the ashes of the old world. In a world where everyone has a level, the only person who can break the System… is the one who has none. Level Zero: The System Council can't see me is a gripping post-apocalyptic LitRPG about defiance, survival, and the terrifying freedom of being unseen.

"Stop digging up your father's past, Theo! You'll only die a poor courier!" Theo ignored his mother's cries. He'd had enough of being insulted by everyone, considered a stranger by Agatha—his former lover now engaged to her wealthy ex—and crushed by Valen's criminal faction. When his body was broken and he could no longer fight with his brawn, Theo chose to use his brain. Through an Anonymous Scholarship, Theo entered Armagenda University, the most elite campus in Monia. While everyone thought he was just a lucky street kid, Theo used his campus access privileges to track the flow of funds of enemies trying to seize and control Theo's father's company inheritance. Assisted by Allia, a secret ally in the cyber data center, Theo began dissecting the city's legal system to cut through the lifeblood of his rivals' businesses. Theo had thrown away his naivety as a good person. He no longer cared about romantic drama or caste slurs. His focus is only one: to reclaim his father's legacy, overthrow the Head of the Security Authority, and ascend to his own throne as the shadow ruler who silently controls the law and the underworld of Monia.

On the night of his wedding, Ethan Cross walks away; not in anger, but in silence. His new wife chose to rush to another man's bedside that same night, and Ethan heard every word through a mirroring app he had installed on her phone. What Lena doesn't know is that the man she ran to is no victim, and her husband is no ordinary man. Ethan is GODSFALL; founder of the War God Temple, a precision global network of warriors, hackers, and legal strategists; and he has been hiding that world from her throughout the time they have been together. When he disappears, he doesn't just leave. He wakes up. As Lena begins to see through the manipulation that has quietly dismantled her marriage and her company, and as Ethan wages a covert war against the shadow network closing in on them both, the space between these two people becomes a battlefield of a different kind; one where the wounds are older and harder to survive than anything either of them has faced in the outside world. GODSFALL is an urban fantasy thriller about the cost of choosing strength over vulnerability, the violence of being truly seen, and what it takes for two people to choose each other with their eyes fully open; in a world that was designed to keep them blind.
