In Their Shadows

Illustrated, Scene by Scene

A far more visual version of the story with character portraits, integrated articles and a much smoother look! Overall much easier to read and I will continue to add new features where I can, taking advantage of all the wonderful features World Anvil articles offer. Only three chapters are up so far but I fully plan on getting all of them up and these will be more up to date and improved than the manuscript!

Traditional Manuscript

In Their Shadows

READ

Prefer reading a traditional book? Here is the manuscript of In Their Shadows! Currently on a hiatus but not for much longer, there are 16 full chapters. I am currently going though it, editing and updating. I hope to keep both the manuscript and the illustrated versions up to date.

She will bear the weight of her destiny not amid the light but within the darkness. While she is a young faltering star before the starving void in her youth, when she is ready, she will draw in those greedy, ambitious souls tainting her home and snuff them out one by one with the sheer extremity of her will. She possesses a spark which can never be doused. She is no star, no sun. She will be a singularity.

In a world defined by elemental influence and scarred by the whims of their fallen gods, humanity believes they now follow their own path. The Kingdom of Accia seeks to spread their influence across all of Emynea, holding the fate of three continents within their palm already and showing little sign of slowing their conquest. Yet, beneath the surface another hand is at work. A hand which seeks the revival of the Erlithmanil, the elements themselves.

Tia was raised outside of this kingdom's influence but her tranquil albeit lonesome lifestyle is ripped away under the threat of war. On the brink of death, Tia is ensnared and irrevocably tethered to darkness. She must navigate the pressures and expectations of an unexpected position, forced to conceal what she has become amid the trappings of nobility. Shadowed by a childhood of ostracization, Tia fights to forge real connections as she travels and trains alongside her peers in preparation for their inevitable military service. Tia and her cohorts struggle to define themselves amid the shadows of expectation, reputation and potential.
