Description
In the background of contemporary New York City, there exists a world beyond this world. This is a world where magical creatures exist, where the true powers behind the thrones manipulate world governments to their own liking. This is a world as enchanting as it is terrifying, ruled by greed, vanity, vengeance, and the most basic human emotions. Welcome to The Shadow Kingdom. *********************************** Scarlett Whitmore is an unassuming, eighteen-year-old college student. Everything about her life is decidedly mundane except for one aspect - she has the supernatural ability to control ice and water. She has lived in secret with this ability her entire life, unaware of its origins or meaning. All that changes the day that she meets Adrian Shang. He is tall, dark, handsome, and like her - supernatural. He introduces her to an entire civilization of supernatural beings, living secretly yet in plain sight all around us. Forces from all across the Shadow Kingdom conspire to utilize Scarlett for their own selfish gains, and Scarlett is plunged into a world of conspiracy and political intrigue. Forces of love, hatred, honour, pettiness, virtue, and vice all collide, bringing the mysterious Shadow Kingdom to light.
