In a world recovering from a devastating shadow invasion, Anya, a wielder of the ancient Sunstone, and her companions strive to protect their fragile peace. But the shadows, far from defeated, are evolving, crafting insidious weapons and seeking to unleash a primordial darkness upon the land. When a seed of concentrated corruption is discovered, Anya and her team realize the shadows are not merely attacking, but strategically building a network of corruption. They trace the source to a hidden forge, a crucible of darkness where the shadows forge their weapons. Destroying the forge is a victory, but a chilling realization follows: the shadows' true aim is to reopen ancient primordial gates, gateways to their realm, to plunge the world into eternal shadow. Anya, Kaelen, Lyra, Elara, and Seraphina must decipher cryptic runes, adapt corrupted technology, and harness the power of luminescent flora to prepare a complex sealing ritual. They embark on a perilous journey to each convergence point, ancient ruins where the gates threaten to awaken. Battling corrupted guardians and navigating treacherous landscapes, they race against time to seal each gate, facing not only physical threats but also the insidious influence of the primordial darkness itself. Their unity, strategic prowess, and the power of light are their only weapons against the shadows' ultimate goal: to extinguish all light and return the world to its original state of absolute shadow. "The Luminary's Shadow" is a tale of resilience, strategic warfare, and the enduring power of hope against overwhelming darkness.

I was Lady Valentina Avington, the beautiful, wicked, and narcissistic villainess of a novel. When I recalled memories of my past life, I decided I wanted everything the heroine had. Using my knowledge of the future, I became a fake saint, the successor to my house, the future queen, and won over the male leads. When the novel began, all I had to do was dispose of the female lead. Yet nothing was as it seemed, and before I knew it, my perfect facade fell to pieces. “You’re not who I thought you were.” “I despise you, Sister.” “It’s revolting to even look at you.” Call it ambition or greed, I would get what I wanted, by any means necessary. No matter the cost, I would definitely win. No need to like me, I have no excuses. Will you be cheering for my downfall, like the rest of them? *** Updates weekly.
