Ember of the Shattered Veil

The Bloodforge squats in a valley of ash and bone, its obsidian heart pulsing with a hunger that could rip the Veil to shreds and drown the world in abyss. Three damned souls, forged in blood and betrayal, are chained to its call—each a blade honed by their own scars, each a spark that could ignite the end. Zorak Draven, a cursed outcast with a sigil that burns his chest and whispers of slaughter, hunts the forge’s shard to sever his soul from its leash. One wrong step, and the voices in his blood will claim him. Syris Vaelor, a priestess of the Emberheart, wields fire and defiance, her visions dragging her from temple dogma to a crucible of shadow. Her faith is her shield, but even gods bleed. Lirien Thorn, dragon-bonded commander of the Iron Bastion, rides Vyrath into the storm, her rider’s blade sworn to stop the forge’s awakening. Yet her clan’s secrets gnaw at her, and loyalty is a noose tightening around her neck. The Bloodforge doesn’t bargain. It devours. Shadow-wraiths claw from the Veil’s cracks, sorcerers weave treachery in the Accord’s halls, and a traitor’s knife waits in the dark. Zorak, Syris, and Lirien are no heroes—they’re blades clashing in a crucible of mistrust, desire, and desperation. Every choice is a wound: seize the shard and court annihilation, or shatter it and watch their world burn. In a realm where hope is a lie and power is a curse, Ember of the Shattered Veil is a brutal saga of vengeance, sacrifice, and the cost of defying fate. The forge is waking. The abyss is watching. And blood will decide.
