A Small Glimpse into the Shadow: a Sneak Peak of "What the Shadows Took"
Some stories start with a spark. Others start in the dark.
What the Shadows Took follows Ellowyn Donnellson, a girl burdened by a generational curse—a creeping darkness that follows her wherever she goes. Returning home after years in exile, she must unravel the truth of her family’s past while confronting the magic that has never truly let her go.
This is where her story begins.
“On the eve of my twenty-first birthday, an inky darkness began to seep from my soul, severing the connection between the innate magic of the land and myself – just as it had done to every Donnellson woman who came before me.
Sometimes it came early, sometimes it came late—but always, it found us.”
