They ALL still saw them as Monsters.

But that was something that
needed to change.

Ascending the Shadows is a personal project that Isabelle has been working on for several years. It’s a story about an outcast group of young adult monsters who are just trying to find their place in a world where they’re feared for who/what they are. Even if that means they have to change their appearances in order to blend
in with the beings around them.
