Shadow -Excerpt

Book I — The End of Shadow By Aria Vale Some say shadows whisper secrets. Morgan knows they scream. At Ravencrest High, Morgan is the girl everyone looks at, but no one really sees. With her dark hair, storm-colored eyes, and a silence sharper than any insult, she walks the halls like a myth wrapped in sarcasm. But when cruel pranks escalate and disturbing visions blur into reality, Morgan discovers that it's not just a rumor—it's a trigger. In a world cloaked in elemental powers, secret orders, and haunting prophecies, Morgan isn't the only one hiding scars beneath a hoodie. Ryder, the golden boy with melancholy fire in his blood, has secrets of his own. And when an ancient force known only as the Shadow stirs, the line between danger and destiny begins to burn. Thrown into a battle between light and void, Morgan and her unlikely allies—misfits and maybe something more—must face not just what hunts them… but what awakens inside them. "The End of Shadow" is a dark fantasy for young adults, filled with sharp humor, slow-burning tension, found family, and a heroine who refuses to be rewritten—even when the world demands it.
