The City Between Shadows

Adrian Vale lives an ordinary life until he discovers that his city hides a dark and magical counterpart, seen only by a few. When a mysterious shard falls into his hands, he is thrust into Umbra, a twisted reflection of his world ruled by Shadows and a faceless entity known as the Guardian. As the border between the two cities begins to crack, Adrian must navigate the chaos, confront fragments of himself, and make impossible choices that will determine which city will survive.
With each decision, the stakes rise: save one world, risk destroying another; fight Shadows, risk losing parts of his soul. Blending suspense, dark fantasy, and psychological tension, "The City Between Shadows" is a story of courage, moral conflict, and the constant struggle to preserve life, light, and imperfect beauty in a world that rejects simplicity.
