The Dark Side Of Fate

Shadowborne Estate lies on the isolated peaks of Mount Umbra. It is home to the most feared family of assassins in the world, known by only one name: the Shadowborne. Their name raises terror in the mouths of kingdoms, and death arrives silently with no errors whatsoever. They were trained from childhood, each a master with unique skills as honed by brutal discipline and unbreakable loyalty to the family's legacy. But with the arrival of Kael, the youngest successor, who starts to question the moral aspect of their profession, cracks begin to form within the otherwise ironclad code of the family. Curiosity and a yearning for freedom drive Kael to uncover secrets buried within the Shadowborne archives truths related to their origin, their cursed lineage, and the price of their mastery. Kael's rebellion sets off a chain reaction that pits him against his ruthless siblings, all of whom will stop at nothing to uphold the Shadowborne legacy. As alliances shift and betrayals mount, Kael has to decide whether to destroy the legacy he was born into or embrace it to protect those he loves. The Shadowborne Legacy is about the thin line between duty and defiance, entwining the tale of dark secrets, complex family bonds, and the battle for identity over generations of shadows.

I hated being locked up like a damsel in distress. Like I was some princess that needed constant protection, but deep down I was grateful. I was still struggling to summon my powers, so if I was attacked alone I would be defenseless. I understood why Valerian wanted me to stay confined within the walls of our home since there was a protection spell suffocating the entire atmosphere that surrounded it. But I was so bored. Valerian was not there to take me out and keep me occupied with his cocky smiles and quirky comments. The only thing I could think to do to pass the time was to take a stroll around the castle grounds. I exited out into the courtyard and walked past the beautiful wooden benches and vibrant trees. Roses of every colour confiscated the grounds and it was like I was walking through a rainbow. My fingertips caressed the petals and I inhaled the sweet scent of their exquisiteness as I walked through the trails. I was so mesmerized by the area that I didn’t realize where I was going. I gasped as I reached for the next rose in my path, and it crumbled from my touch. The rest of the walkway was filled with black and decayed roses that tumbled to the ground like ash from a horrible wildfire. My frightened eyes glared out into the distance as I realized the dead flowers led to a shadowy tunnel made from black brick. A sign barely dangling from a broken chain at the top of the entrance read ‘dungeon.’ My body cringed at the sight. This was the dark side of Valerian that I knew and wanted to avoid as much as possible.
