Genre: Dark Fantasy / Supernatural Thriller Tone: Gothic, Introspective, Violent, Mysterious Setting: A fractured world where the mystical and mortal coexist in a fragile truce, post-cataclysm. Centuries ago, a celestial event known as “The Rift” opened a gateway between the mortal realm and the Veil—a dimension of raw magic and forgotten horrors. In its wake, humans mutated, evolved, and interbred with supernatural creatures. In a crumbling world where ancient pacts once kept order between vampires, werewolves, witches, revenants, and other mystical beings, those fragile lines are shattering. The Age of Balance is gone. Now, a deeper darkness stirs beneath the surface—a forgotten power long buried is clawing its way back into reality. The story follows Aeron Vale, a revenant with fragmented memories; Elara Nyxis, the last scion of a powerful witch bloodline with ties to a realm of dream and prophecy; and Riven, a half-werewolf, half-something-else hybrid whose true nature is barely restrained. Together, they become entangled in a rising war between factions: The Crimson Conclave (they are a collection of ancient vampire lineages that once formed the ruling elite during the last age of balance). The Pale Synod’s Ember Paladins (holy warriors hunting down the corrupted). The Eclipsed Moon Order (a cult-like faction dedicated to lunar mysticism). The Hollowed, whose godlike patron seeks rebirth. The Faeblood Courts, eerie, ancient, and politically manipulative. Themes & Twists: Memory vs. Identity: Can you trust who you are if your memories are lies? Cycle of Betrayal: History repeats—unless someone chooses to break the loop. Moral Ambiguity: No faction is purely good or evil; survival has twisted all of them. Reality vs. Illusion: Faeblood magic distorts time and memory—what the reader believes is real may not be.
