This Nocturnal Requiem

A silent war between worlds…For millennia, the three planes of existence have been at war with one another. The Celestials wish to rule the mortal plane to create a utopian society, while the Noctis wish to rule for far more sinister purposes. The mortals are caught in the middle, and just wish to be left alone.A lone traveler, caught in the middle…Two hundred years ago, the Way Between Worlds closed suddenly. Travel between planes has been impossible for all–save for one: Shadow, a Celestial, and right hand to the ruler of her city. For the last two hundred years, she has been the only connection to the mortal plane, serving a cruel leader while doing her best to survive.A stranger, seeking to protect mortals…On a trip to the mortal plane, Shadow discovers the Noctis have begun traveling through the Way gate. When she attempts to confront them, she is stopped by a beautiful and mysterious stranger. He tells her about a dangerous new drug that is being developed and distributed, and asks for her help eradicating it.Darkness is spreading…Caught between two worlds, working alongside her enemy, Shadow agrees to help stop the spread of the drug in order to protect humanity from the Noctis. But as she and the handsome stranger begin to grow closer together, passion ignites, and truths come to light that shake Shadow's entire worldview. Lines will be drawn, sides must be chosen, and Shadow only hopes she will survive the carnage.

When betrayal cuts deep…Betrayed and trapped in an unfamiliar world, Shadow is surrounded by enemies who want nothing more than to see her dead. Truths about her identity have come to light, making her feel like she no longer knows what to believe.Loyalties are tested…The only two beings she can trust happen to be the ones who betrayed her, but when it comes to protecting herself in a world that wants to kill her, she'll do whatever is necessary. If it means doing whatever the Queen of Nocte asks of her, as well as continuing to work alongside the male who broke her heart, then so be it.True war is on the horizon…With each day spent trying to find a way to survive in the brutal world of Nocte, Shadow, Mazgaros, and Korras learn more about the three planes and the history of their worlds. More secrets unfold, and nothing is as it seems. If they want to survive, they need to learn how to play the game according to new rules.Beliefs will be questioned, lies and secrets will be revealed, and the reality in which Shadow has lived for the last three centuries is on the verge of collapse. When all is fair in love and war, who will be left standing in the wreckage?
