The Dragons of Shadowhold

Book 0: The Sylph Invasion

A Prequel to The Aetherfire Conflict

Dive into an MM romance set in a richly crafted fantasy world, where omniscient storytelling weaves together the fates of our protagonists. 

Before the fires of war consumed Shadowhold, there was Y’serris Suldek. Born heir to a throne he never wanted, he fled the crown with Akhunaten at his side—lover, confidant, and the only one who saw the magus he could become. Together they vanished into exile, trading royal duty for centuries of study, passion, and discovery.

For nearly a thousand years, Y’serris honed his craft, mastering the hidden arts of the towers and pushing the boundaries of magic itself. But peace is fragile, and love cannot shield the world forever. When the sylphs descend, their invasion is merciless: the seven Dragon Vessels—mortal hosts of draconic spirits—are slaughtered, magic is stolen, and the free peoples are shackled under tyranny.

In the ashes of that conquest, Y’serris uncovers a spark of hope: a destined heir to the dragons’ legacy. Uriel Faldar, the Black Dragon Vessel, may be the key to breaking the sylphs’ dominion. To prepare him, Y’serris must become more than a fugitive prince or a scholar of forbidden arts—he must become a teacher, a guide, and the architect of rebellion.

This is the story of love defying centuries, of empires rising and falling, and of the first steps toward a war that will decide the fate of Shadowhold.
