The year is 2020. Eight years have passed since the Retrovirus spread across the earth and ravaged human society. The lucky ones died horrific deaths. But most were changed, twisted into inhuman monsters called Ferals. These beasts tore cities and nations down, slaughtering, and infecting millions in their insane charge across the world. But they were not the only chimeric creatures to emerge. Other 'werewolves' had made themselves known, attacking humanity at every opportunity. Stronger, faster and tougher than the best of humanity, yet smarter and far more skilled than the Feral Hordes. The Nýúlfur. Pushed to their breaking point, humanity lashed out in hatred, if not in chemical, biological or nuclear hellfire, then by their force of arms. Today, only a handful of cities and nations survive, amongst them, the post-apocalyptic country of Cascadia. But the Ferals continue to prowl the world, whilst the Nýúlfur to continue to fight both human and Feral alike out in the wilderness. But things have started to change. One human survivor finds himself twisted and altered through immoral experimentation, leaving him an outcast. As he struggles to put what is left of his life back together, this survivor's newfound status gives him a unique insight into the world, and the true nature of the conflict between Humanity and the Nýúlfur. But soon, the mysterious Organisation that experimented on him in the first place will re-emerge. An Organisation with a peculiar connection to the Retrovirus itself...

[𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐇 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍] ✦ 𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐞 𝐈 ✦ High above the mortal world, where the Tateaori Monastery clings to the jagged cliffs like a relic of a forgotten age, a lone figure stands at the crossroads of destiny and doubt. Rin, a gifted but guarded warrior, has spent her life mastering the ancient ways of combat under the cold, watchful gaze of her mentor, Tao Luoyang. Among the stone walls and sacred chants, she has forged herself into a blade, sharp and unyielding-but to what end? The winds of fate stir uneasily. Whispers of the Dancing Phoenix-a symbol of both power and sacrifice-draw closer, entwining Rin's fate with the ancient prophecy she doubts yet cannot escape. When the world beyond the monastery's gates beckons with its alluring dangers, Rin must step into a realm of shadowed truths, where fire burns not just to illuminate but to consume. The path before her is treacherous, and every choice burns with consequence. To rise as the Phoenix means not only to wield its legendary power but to sacrifice everything she thought she knew about herself-and when Rin battles to uncover the truth buried in the ashes of her past, she finds herself standing at the precipice of a legacy she never dreamed about. ✦✦✦ Cover designed by @Varllai (Author)

Welcome to the Veil or rather-my condolences. A slow-burn fantasy with a hint of romance, a pinch of action and mystery and a generous sprinkle of dark humour. Here you'll find mean angels, polite demons and grim reapers escorting souls (saints, sinners and mostly, comely ones) while juggling afterlife paperwork. Meet Clark Parker, ex-saint turned scourge of hell turned reaper, in search of her proverbial 'soulmate' while she fights rogue souls and deals with death and bureaucracy. #enemiestolovers #slow-burn #reincarnation #GoodOmensbutSexy #cleanromance *** Synopsis: For 500 years, she has been condemned to suffer. Clark Parker is reincarnated thirteen times, only to live a cruel life. In her final life, she dies a Saint, and the Veil offers her release: a chance at peace, at bliss-rebirth without sorrow. She refuses. Clark doesn't want to come back. She wants answers. But the truth she seeks lies deep within the Old Archives, a place forbidden to all but reapers. And she isn't one-not yet. To become an envoy of death, she must destroy what remains of her grace and taint her soul. And there is only one place to break a Saint: Hell. There, among the ruined and the wretched, she will rise. Through torment. Through the ranks of demons, and ascend as a reaper. But the closer she comes to the truth, the colder the world becomes. Because some secrets are chained for a reason. And some names should stay in the dark. [updates every weekend] [First draft]
