Wings In Shadows

"Are you finished yet?" Wichita asked, leaning against the wall with her arms crossed as Suiryu walked past her. "What is it, Wichita, are you on furlough?" Suiryu snapped and stopped beside her. "The young master and I were just practicing something. Nothing worth your attention."

"I just wanted to see you get your ass kicked. But I see it ended just at the best part," Wichita amused herself honestly. Her smirk was wide, and sparks of amusement danced in her eyes. Suiryu gave her one more brief, scornful look, exactly long enough for her to notice it sufficiently, and then departed.

Wings in Shadows started as a simple question:

what if the thing keeping you alive was also the thing killing you?

Pollux wakes in the snow with no past, a voice in his head that isn't his, and a corporation hunting him down. It's a progression fantasy set in a dystopian world where corporations own everything — the cities, the water, the sick. Power comes with a price and the price is always your body.

The progression here isn't just about mastering what he has. Half of it he doesn't even know exists yet. Every step forward uncovers something new — and something more dangerous.

No chosen one arc. No clean victories. Just a boy on borrowed time deciding what to do with it.

Today I'm starting to publish the third arc of the saga — Blood in the Water. I'm still excited because it's still not finished 😄 but you can read the first two arcs in full on Royal Road.

Skeldar teaches you how to survive. Hotarion teaches you who you are.

Pollux arrived in the South without roots and left behind scars. Now he awakens in a city of crystals and shadows, stripped of everything that defined him. One side offers asylum, the other judgment. But Hotarion knew his face long before he crossed its gates. Here, power does not hide behind corporations—here, it is inherited in the blood and negotiated behind the closed doors of ancient lineages.

He must decide what kind of man he wants to become—and what he is willing to burn to stay alive.

Blood in the Water is the third installment of the Wings in Shadows saga. It is a story about what happens when someone who didn't know who they were discovers that the world knew it for them all along. And about the price that must be paid to be able to leave and return home as a different person.

"Suddenly, the stone pavement vanished from beneath his feet, dissolving like a smear of watercolor in water. The surrounding trees and buildings were swept away by the wind like Saharan sand in a steady haze. When Reno blinked again, the wind in his hair was stronger and drier. He stood in a rooftop garden of a high-rise building in the middle of a city."

Dream Shaper Reno dreams of things that happen to others. The line between dream and reality is crumbling. And this time… it doesn't only concern him.

My brand new story is now live on Royal Road. Come join me and let's dream together…

"Snow is impartial, Pollux," she used to tell him with that calm smile of hers while adjusting his scarf. "It doesn't care about what you believe or don't believe. It is honest; it doesn't promise to be anything other than what it actually is. It is pure, and every ill will is immediately visible upon it. You will find only truth and peace in it. And if you understand it one day, you will find a friend in it."

I've been writing this story in my head for years, and today it's finally real. Born in the Snow — the first book in the Wings in the Shadows series. Now available on Webnovel.

Arc 2 Begins: Demons, Dragons, and a Much Crueler World

"Your horns glow in the dark like a beacon, Ash," Teria remarked. "If you don't hide them deeper under your hood, the patrols will see us before we even cross the sector boundary." "Why do I feel like every time you speak, it's like I've been punched?" Ash snapped back. "I'm doing what I can. Why didn't you use that Florid to just teleport us there or set half the forest on fire? What's the point of this trek?"

This second book moves beyond Skeldar into a harsher world of borders, patrols, corporations, and choices that leave far less room for innocence.

Pollux’s journey continues, but the story now opens into new characters, new tensions, and a very different kind of survival.

"Pollux!" a tall girl in a long dress shouted, running across the hall toward them. Aurora collided with him with such force that he almost lost his balance, then she quickly stepped back. From under her brow, where her hair had slipped, hot red eyes looked at him. "I thought you'd decided to stay in the mountains and live with the bears! Look what I found while climbing the south wall!" She brushed her hair back and tucked it behind a pointed ear. Her hair and horns were decorated with dyed ribbons and strings with stone beads.

just published my first book and i'm terrified

so. i've been writing this story in my head for years and today it's finally real.

Born in Snow — first book of Wings in Shadow.

it's about a boy who wakes up in snow without a name or a past. a woman finds him and gives him a name he already carried. and that's where it all starts.

it's not a hero saves the world story. it's about what you do with the chance at life you're given. mountains, corporations, a disease that's slowly killing him. and the people he finds along the way.

i'll be honest — i'm a new author and this is my first time publishing anything. i'd genuinely love to talk about the characters and the world with anyone who's interested. that's half the reason i'm doing this.

Lungmen, 1103. The city never sleeps and never forgives.

Cutter wanted to be nobody. Three months in Mr. Lee's workshop, no swords, no past. Then Soren came. She was given a place in the shadow – an organization without a flag, a family without a contract, and a man in a hood whom she chose as her brother before she even knew his name. This is a story about a debt that cannot be repaid. And about the only way to at least try.

The continuation of my first fanfic saga that stretches across Terra. Maybe you'll like it, maybe you won't. Let me know what you think. [Read it on AO3]
