Shadow's Name
Over dit audioboek
Tear out a sheet from your notebook. Choose squared paper—it works best. Not from the edge, but from the middle.
Unfold the page and draw a circle, wide as the moon. Divide it into twelve parts, like a clock, and fill the sectors with every letter of the alphabet.
Now, take a needle. Thread it with red. Always red.
Push the needle through the circle’s heart and whisper three times:
“Guest, come. Guest, come. Guest, come.”
And wait. Because once you’ve spoken the words, something will always answer.
Over de auteur
Welcome to the Peculiar World—where wonder, secrets, magic, love, and adventure reign, and where strange creatures and mythic beings slip between the shadows.
Aya Neia is my alter ego. I’m an indie author and a collector of myths, folktales, and uncanny stories—my own and those shared by friends and strangers.
I’m currently working on the Nord trilogy and the cycles Netjeru, Celestial, and Project Azura. You can also find my short fiction here: “Doppelgänger” in the almanac Skifia (2019); “Degeneration” in the Anthology of Contemporary Ukrainian Short Fiction and Poetry (2019); the fairytale “The Plush Heart” in Christmas Whisper (2020); and “Karma” in the collection City of Memories (2021), created with the BookBanda community.
