Synopsis of Behind the Curtains: In a world plunged into chaos and madness, countless malevolent creatures lurk in the shadows, watching the innocent like wolves circling lambs. Demons, eldritch gods, vengeful spirits, and twisted abominations run rampant. Hell is empty—its horrors walk the Earth. As an angel born of light, there is no choice but to ignite the holy flame... and join the hunt. Years later, Gabrielle—slayer of uncountable demon hounds—stands before an ancient god of corruption and says coldly: "You refuse to believe in God, and yet you won’t die either." "You’re really making this difficult for me."

Forged in the depths of darkness and light, a shadowborn will unravel. Seek the elders, the place where it all began. For the blood that once wove the curse, shall provide the cure.

Determined not to die again, Lumberling fights to survive in this brutal new realm where knights clash with monsters, kingdoms rise and fall, and mysterious powers shape the fate of nations. Armed with a strange ability to devour the essence of those he slays, he begins to carve out a new path, one forged by blood, strength, and sheer will. But power alone may not be enough. In a world where danger lurks in every shadow, and ancient forces stir in the dark, can a lost soul rise above fate… or will he be consumed by the very essence he seeks to control?

Yes I'm starting from the second because the first was an utter failure when I tried to write it, it just didn't fit the mood of a fantasy novel unlike this one. Though don't worry this doesn't mean you can't enjoy this one before I write the first. This is the first story I've actually published so I appreciate any feedback, be it good or bad just let me know what you think.
