The Veil Unraveled
In a world where the boundary between the mortal realm and the supernatural has thinned to a dangerous razor’s edge, Alec Morell, a former investigator with the mysterious Twilight Bureau, unwittingly becomes entangled in a conspiracy that could unravel the very fabric of reality.
The world is divided into regions controlled by hidden Orders and Divine Entities, each ruling over powers that defy human comprehension. These forces, known as the Veil, have long existed beneath the surface, shaping events with subtle precision, manipulating the fates of nations, and guiding individuals down paths of madness and enlightenment. Those few who can see the threads of the Veil are called Shards, beings gifted with unearthly powers but cursed to understand too much, too soon.
Alec, a gifted detective in a city ravaged by industrialization, is thrust into this hidden world after a routine case leads him to a forbidden artifact—a Shattered Fragment of an ancient god. The artifact bestows him with the ability to glimpse into the Unseen Realms, where forgotten gods, eldritch entities, and arcane forces dwell. But with the Fragment comes the weight of knowledge, and Alec begins to see the creeping tendrils of a Great Convergence, a cataclysmic event that will dissolve the barriers between realms and bring about the ascension of a new, chaotic order.
As he delves deeper into the mystery, Alec must navigate a labyrinth of secret societies, including the enigmatic Order of the Heralds, who seek to awaken the old gods, and the elusive Covenant of Shattered Mirrors, whose members harbor knowledge of the ultimate secret: the true identity of the Fallen Veil, the force that holds the universe together.
Haunted by visions of an ancient prophecy and pursued by the remnants of the divine beings who once ruled, Alec must decide whether to embrace his new role as a Shattered Seer, or to risk his humanity and fight against the tides of fate itself. Along the way, he will encounter allies who walk the fine line between madness and genius, and enemies whose motives are as unknowable as the gods they serve.
In a world where trust is fleeting and every truth hides a darker secret, Alec will discover that some knowledge is too powerful, too dangerous, to be known—and some powers, once awakened, cannot be put back to sleep.
