Four destinies.
Ten ingredients.
One chance to save the ones they love.
Noble-born Tristan Arrington faces his most difficult challenge yet when his lover Will is lost to the sinister shadow realm. Armed with only his friends and a fierce determination, Tristan must confront not only the monsters lurking in the shadows, but also the scars of his own traumatic past. Crown Prince Orson joins the quest to aid his friend and escape his duties but ends up facing his own mortality instead, leaving his studious younger sister to seek the answers in ancient tomes, desperate to save her brother.
As portals open between worlds and chaos threatens to engulf the land, Tristan and his band of unlikely allies discover that the greatest strength lies within. Join Tristan as he ventures beyond the veil and learn if the light of love can triumph over the shadows of fear.
Realm of Shadows is book 4 of the captivating fantasy series Stories of Gereon, and weaves a tale of soul-deep love, heart-wrenching sacrifice, and the transformative power of facing one's demons. This upper YA LGBTQ+ fantasy will make you believe in the power of love, magic, and found family.
Meet Camilla Vavruch, a multitasking marvel and dragon-lover extraordinaire! By day, she’s a medical doctor. By night (and early morning and lunch breaks), she unleashes her wild imagination as a writer of fantasy novels filled with magic and, of course, dragons of all shapes and sizes.
Camilla is the author of two series, The Elemental Saga and Stories of Gereon. Both are set in the same universe, but with entirely different characters and focus. All of Camilla’s stories include found family (her favorite trope!), at least a touch of hurt/comfort, and a healthy dose of fantastical creatures.
When she’s not slaying dragons on the page, Camilla is also a mom of three (who somehow still finds time to sleep), a web and graphic designer, and a lover of all things creative – from writing to drawing and photography. It’s a wonder she has any time left to breathe, but Camilla wouldn’t have it any other way.
Join her on her wild and fantastical journey through life!
