Latin Translations

Uilos:
Anyone here good with Latin Translations, or have a decent resource they could recommend? I'm working on a project and wanted to use a Latin title for it.

The title is "Death of Shadows"

Any help is appreciated

Shecky:
Might want to specify exactly what you mean (I don't know Latin, but I'm a professional translator and I know where problems often arise). For example, do you mean "death BY shadows" (i.e., killing by way of shadows) or "shadow's death" (i.e., the killing of shadows themselves)?

Uilos:
The latter, Shadow's Death

Looking around at a couple Latin translators online, it's coming up umbra nex.  I'm not too certain about the meaning of nex; I don't remember where I put my Latin dictionary.  I would go with umbra mortis, though that would be a rough translation.  I don't know if umbra would be the correct form of the word to use.

Uilos:
Found a LtoE dictionary from University of Notre Dame. Nex/necis means Violent Death.

Thank you both!
