The Veil & Quill
In the fog-choked city of Blackgrave, where towering spires claw at the heavens and whispers of the arcane slither through the gaslit streets, Jonathan Aldcroft is a man who seeks knowledge beyond the bounds of mortal understanding. A scholar of the forbidden, he has spent years unearthing occult secrets, dismissing the superstitions of lesser minds.
But when he discovers the Obscured Codex, a book spoken of only in fragmented myths, he soon realizes that some knowledge does not wish to be known—it wishes to know him. The moment he reads his own name within its shifting pages, he becomes marked, watched by something lurking beyond comprehension.
Now, as the fog thickens around Blackgrave and figures with too many joints watch from the shadows, Jonathan must race to uncover the truth behind the Codex. But the more he learns, the more he understands the terrible cost of knowledge. The book is not merely a record of the unknown—it is a gate, and something on the other side has begun to read him in turn.
