Veil Between Worlds: Book I — Ashes of Khora-Xi
It started with a flicker. A hum beneath the skin. A brief rupture at a particle collider in Europe — dismissed as a malfunction, but it wasn’t. It was a connection.
Across the world, millions felt the pull. And one by one, the attuned vanished.
Ishaan Ren Vale, an engineering student in Bristol, had four hours. Four hours of warped reflections, spatial tremors, and a creeping awareness that he wasn’t going to survive unless he adapted.
Then, he disappeared.
But what awaited wasn’t death — it was Khora-Xi, a harsh alien world governed by soulfields: the hidden energy within all living things. Here, reality bends not to magic, but to willpower, understanding, and control over the forces that bind soul to matter.
Stripped from Earth and answers, Ishaan must learn to survive — not through prophecy or fate, but through relentless practice, reason, and his ability to shape the invisible. And he’s not alone.
Others have been taken. Some will rise. Some will burn. And something else is watching, waiting — not for heroes, but for those who understand that power is never given. It’s built.
