When the Fire Wakes: Revisit Dragon’s Breath, Human Heart

By Rin Nocturne | Shadowlight Press

✨ The storm began with a whisper.

It started with Clarissa Edinborough—a librarian, a survivor, a woman who never asked to be a dragon’s heir.
In Embers and Bloom, she followed the black butterflies through the rain. And when the fire woke beneath her skin? Avalon was never the same again.

“For the first time in her life, she realized the silence around her wasn’t the absence of sound—it was the breath before something ancient spoke.”

Clarissa’s choices lit the spark that became a wildfire.

🖤 The Fire Spreads: Whispers of Wild Flame

Two years later, Varesa Nordstorm runs from a fire that was never meant to be hers. But the hunters have returned, and the dragons will not wait much longer.

“You came to stop a dragon. You should’ve brought gods.”

🌊⚡ The Storm Breaks: Heart of the Current

This is the moment everything cracks open.

The rainforest breathes. The current pulls. And Varesa isn’t alone anymore.

“The path ahead is perilous, but you are not alone.”

But the fire is a fickle thing.

“Other days, it will retreat, leaving you empty.”

Power, cost, choice. The tides of Avalon have turned—and the dragons will not sleep again.

Welcome to My World—Short Fiction, Big Feelings

Hey there, beautiful readers. I'm so glad you stumbled across this little corner of the internet, where stories smolder, hearts break (in the best way), and every sentence tries to punch you right in the feels. I'm an Aquarius and Earth Dragon—writer, dreamer, INFJ introvert in survival mode—and I publish under two pen names that reflect the duality of my storytelling soul: Rin Nocturne , where I get unapologetically bold, dramatic, and just a little bit magical. Think Sailor Moon vibes crash-landing into raw emotional landscapes, with a sprinkle of modern fantasy and mythology. Seraphine Vela , the name I use for stories that carry a different kind of weight—more literary, still emotional, but grounded in character and language-driven worlds. Let’s talk shop for a second. What I Write ✍️ I specialize in short fiction —because sometimes you don’t need 100,000 words to wreck someone emotionally (in a good way). Whether it’s a 10-page gut-punch or a novella that mak...

TRAILER LAUNCH: Endsong of Dragons is Almost Here

Readers, stars, and stormchasers… Today, I release the official trailer for Endsong of Dragons , the fourth and final book in my Dragon’s Breath, Human Heart series. It’s a moment I’ve dreamed of—and dreaded—for years. Because this is more than an ending. It’s a reckoning. It’s a goodbye to a girl who became a legend. It’s a love letter to every reader who dared to believe a broken world could still be beautiful. 💔🔥❄ “She didn’t just survive the frost. She became the echo it left behind.” This is Mira Grayson’s final song —a story of power, reflection, and a woman who never asked to be chosen, but chose herself anyway. “I’m not yours,” she whispered to the storm. “I never was.” Thank you to everyone who’s walked this path with me, especially those who’ve carried Mira through every transformation, fracture, and firelight flicker. Your encouragement has meant everything. I wrote this series for the misfits, the quiet ones, the fierce-hearted. I wrote it for you . A...

Catch Up Blog

I need to take a breather and reevaluate my goals as a writer/creator. I have published 27 short stories across both of my pen names Seraphine Vale and Rin Nocturne. That’s a lot. I know my works are shorter, but that’s to be expected since I write how I talk for the most part. This self-publishing journey is nothing new to me. I originally started writing online when I was 16 years old. There was a website called FictionPress.com. It still exists, but it’s nowhere near where it once was, for obvious reasons. I don’t remember how I came across it, though. On that site, people could submit—chapter by chapter—original fiction and you would get reviews from members of the FictionPress. It was a fun way to make friends, share interests and inspiration, and get feedback. I started self-publishing when word about Amanda Hocking’s success caught my eye. I loved the idea of seeing my work on Amazon and Barnes and Noble’s websites without a middleman or the wait and jumped on that imm...
