The Story

Neverland is unraveling.

A thousand-year rupture between the Seelie and Unseelie Courts has left the land fractured.

A blight spreads.
Shadows rise.
Lost Boys vanish without a trace.

Tinker Bell, shaped by a past she refuses to name, hides behind silence and secrets. But when the Darling children begin telling stories they should not know, and a prophecy buried since the first Shadowbinding stirs, she is pulled into a war she thought she’d escaped.

Pan has crowned himself king.
His flute steals memory.
His shadow feeds on it.

The Lost Boys, stripped of name and story, bend to his will. When Pan learns to harness the shadow-magic bound at the dawn of the world, he becomes something far more dangerous than a boy who never grows up.

Those who resist risk a fate worse than death:
the Unmaking.

Marked by Pan’s Shadow, the Unmade rot from the inside out. Their identity dissolves, their memory devoured until only a wraith remains. With every Unmaking, the blight spreads through Neverland’s ecosystem.

In the dark, a pirate captain fights the ruin inside him.
Only Hook remembers who he once was—and what was stolen from him.
He intends to return the favor.

Damn the consequences.

Tinker Bell, once Pan’s hidden blade, will learn the shadows she once served can be wielded against him, and that truth cuts deeper than steel.

For in Neverland, truth is treason.
Memory is currency.
And remembering kills.

The true war for Neverland has begun,
and no soul will escape the reckoning.

In the first book of The Shattered Shadow series, shadow, memory, and identity are literal forces.

It reimagines Neverland as a wounded psyche

where forgetting is power, wholeness is rebellion,

and healing is the most dangerous act of all.

A mythic psychological fantasy about identity, power, and inheritance.
