Dangerous. Evil. Alluring. 

These are some of the ways to describe a shadow and to some extent, it was true... or at least, that's how Issac Finkelstein viewed his shadows.

For Issac was merely a man trying to move on from the tragedies he endured, but the shadows clung onto him - begging, pleading for him to break free from what he knew and embrace the darkness in him. While it was tempting to say yes, Issac refuses to give in and tries to ignore the alluring, almost magnetic pull that the shadows have on him. But Issac can't refuse forever.

For a prophecy hangs over him and it speaks of the shadows and the darkness he is destined to bring into his world and that of another. It speaks of a monster that he is destined to become, a war that is to determine Avalon's fate and a fight that will either claim his life or that of his daughter for the two are one and the same; their fates intertwined as she was the light to his shadow. 

But tragically, a daughter's love cannot prevent what is to come for even the shadows are capable of eclipsing the light and in the presence of darkness...

No one is safe.

HAUNTED - A Dark Romance by savshabang
41 parts Ongoing Mature
DANTE When I first laid my eyes on her; she was only eleven, three years younger than me. She was quiet. And pure. But she was troubled, and alone. I could see it behind her eyes; the thin veil that concealed her deepest secrets, faltering every time she looked at me. I knew from that moment on that I would live for her. And she would eventually live for me, too. With or without her blessing. However, circumstances change. And that purity I once relished in; her light in contrast to my darkness, disappeared. But, don't worry my little sinner, I will haunt you. And I won't be as kind this time. EDEN I won't let you scare me. That's what I keep telling myself. And yet, I see you. In every dark corner, in every casting shadow -- I see you when I close my eyes. And I hate myself for it. But I'm older now. Wiser. You took my innocence from me, and while I hate myself for allowing you to, I hate you just that much more. But I won't let you in this time. I don't want your inferno to engulf me anymore, I want to extinguish it. **PLEASE BE WARNED** This book will contain graphic contents, including but not limited to: violence, sexual contents and sensitive subjects.

After defeating Lilith and escaping Edom, the TMI gang finally returns to their common lifes in New York, ready to figure out different issues from demons, such as love. Magnus and Alec, for instance, were the perfect example of that brand new feeling that joined them. What they wasn't expecting was the sudden arrival to the Institute of a stranger that soon, would end that normality and tranquility, helplessly involving them into another adventure. Eruleum threatened them and they were about to experiment the coldness and somberness coming directly from that forgotten kingdom. Like the sun and the moon, Edom and Eruleum were nothing alike, yet sharing a close bond. Each member of the gang will be forced to face their deepest and most horrid fears in a kingdom where there was no place for hope or joy, just freezing cold mechanisms, metal, a permanent double moon, a king thirsty with revenge. TMI gang went to Edom and came back, but would they be able to dodge Eruleum's fierceness too? Would they save the World from an unavoidable storm? They fought fire, it was high time to face ice. Are you ready to start this journey? Are you ready to discover new worlds? Eruleum's King promises action, passionate and unconditional love, new relationships, new bonds, new and unique characters. The thin line that separates hell from heaven, evil from goodness is harder to distinguish than ever. Not everything is as it seems, love is not always precious. Madness has the capacity to poison it. Join this journey, do not let appearances fool you and remember that all the legends are true. • Find this FanFic and more on my Instagram: @/_another_shadowhunter @/_another_shadowhunter_writes
A Castle Of Crystal by LordHebur
54 parts Complete Mature
Nothing in my life had ever made sense. They told me it was normal, I'd grow into who I was supposed to be, that things would get better; here I am now, going through the motions and wondering if this was really what I was destined to do for the rest of my life. Turns out, it wasn't. Nothing in my life had ever made sense but that was because my memories were fractured, pieces of a person I used to be, one I used to know lurking in the shadows of my dreams. I was just a normal guy trying to navigate the world but saying yes to everything and falling into the same monotony just wasn't cutting it anymore. I had a steady job, a pretty girl seemed interested in me and my 22nd birthday was coming up just before Christmas to give me something to look forward to. That all changed when I remembered her. I'd never forgotten her truly, blue was the only thing I knew and that Neptunian shade was so striking it stuck with me from the night she screamed at me in the rain but it wasn't until I found all the papers, the notes and crystals that I started to remember the world she lived in. One that wasn't my own and that had so much more to offer. It sounded crazy but I knew it was real and getting there, finding her and fixing the bridge that I'd unwittingly burned was going to be hard but I was ready to be more than a desk jockey typing my life away. I wanted to see the orange skies instead of the blue and find her sitting in a field of crystals again, staring at the stars.

"Are you stalking me?" His deep voice asked. "You wish, that would mean I actually thought about you enough to wonder where you are." I looked away smugly. Max moved closer to me until his face was right in front of mine. "You're saying you don't think about me?" He smirked, fully knowing what the proximity was doing to me. "I don't, why? Did you want me to?" I Regained my composure as I moved even closer, our lips nearly touching. ~~~ Alexa is a normal girl who just wanted to get through school without any trouble. She didn't want any attention. She just wanted to leave those nightmares behind, forgetting what happened before. However, all of that changes when her mum gets married and she's forced to move to a new city. Leaving everything behind, she hopes to blend in and go to university but life has other plans. In the woods, lurking in the shadows is someone who can't stay away and will definitely ruin all of Alexa's plans and change her life showing her that things aren't always as they seem. How can two people that hate each other be mates? To add to the mix, parties, late night discussions and a school trip is sure to add drama to her life. Warning: this story is sometimes very cliché and has a few of my own twists on it. The guy might make you cry, laugh or blush and wish guys like him existed in real life. (Well, at least further into the story.) This story contains swearing and some slightly mature content. You have been warned. Best rankings: - #2 humanxwerewolf - #1 gift ~This is my first story and I hope you will give it a chance!~ I promise it will get better.
