She traded her shadow for grace...
But what she received in its place was something much darker.



Fae Trade:
The Shadowbound


Noli has always been a little strange. Clumsy feet, dreams that whisper in riddles, and memories that don’t quite belong to her.
So when a fairy offers her grace in exchange for something she doesn’t fully understand, she says yes.But Noli fails to realize one thing: the fae do not lie.
They twist, they tangle. They bury truth beneath moss, stone, and bramble.
But lie? Never.
Now, Noli is bound to something old, that watches her from the edges of her own silhouette.
She must unravel the truth about her new shadow before it consumes her…
and before the only person who might know what it truly is disappears for good.



About the Author

Hi, I’m Nicole! I write stories where shadows hold forgotten secrets, fae bargains backfire, and girls carry more magic than they may realize.My work blends dark fairy tale energy with modern teen angst.
Think: hidden realms, forgotten pacts, high school crushes, found family, and ancestral mystery.
If you’ve ever felt like something was following you… or watching from the shadows… you’re in the right place.
🦋 Fae Trade: The Shadowbound
is my debut series, and maybe the beginning of something much bigger.
