My entire life, I’ve feared the Darkwings. Shadow-wielding monsters with red eyes who flay the skin from the bones of any magical being that dare cross their path. A story Lightlace witches told to their children to ensure they didn't stray. Be good, or the Darkwing will steal your magic. But that’s all it was. A nightmare. A legend. Until I meet him. Vane. Born in darkness, enshrouded by shadows. He is on the hunt, searching for something that could alter the very fabric of my family’s magic... moreMy entire life, I’ve feared the Darkwings. Shadow-wielding monsters with red eyes who flay the skin from the bones of any magical being that dare cross their path. A story Lightlace witches told to their children to ensure they didn't stray. Be good, or the Darkwing will steal your magic. But that’s all it was. A nightmare. A legend. Until I meet him. Vane. Born in darkness, enshrouded by shadows. He is on the hunt, searching for something that could alter the very fabric of my family’s magic. If I was smart, I would run in the other direction. But I was born in darkness too. Under a solar eclipse, robbing me of the Lightlace magic I so desperately wished I had. The magic my family punishes me for not possessing. Darkness is something I’ve become accustomed to, calling to me like an old friend, but if I’m not careful, I could vanish in Vane’s shadows forever. The Darkwings are real, and I may have just found the most dangerous one of them all.
