The Shadowbearer's Burden: A Dark Fantasy Romance, Artifact 2

By: Morning, Jasmyn

Ryuji has spent a lifetime protecting the common realm's most sacred forest. Bound by blood and duty, he knows better than to let anyone close, especially not Edan, the haunted warrior sworn to the Shadowbearer. But in the chaos of politics, something between them begins to shift. A glance held too long. A touch that lingers.

As the Shadowbearer, Micah struggles to balance his rising power with the unraveling bond between the three of them. With enemies gathering and the veil between realms thinning, Ryuji must face the truth. And in a world shaped by grief and prophecy, love is the most dangerous choice of all.

A slow-burn M/M/M romantic fantasy featuring flowery prose, emotionally rich worldbuilding, and court intrigue. Perfect for fans of danmei, longing-filled poly relationships, and stories where love unfolds like a wound that finally learns how to heal.
