Veil of Twilight
Finally, the vampire spoke again, his voice deadly serious. "So, the question remains: will you trust me and undertake this dangerous journey, or will you choose an end far less... glamorous?" I folded my arms to keep my hands from shaking. "So, if I help you, I risk everything. If I don't... I risk just as much, don't I?" My voice betrayed me, cracking on the last word. Amberfield is a city of secrets, and Masha has her share. But when her curiosity leads her into the depths of a forgotten dungeon, she awakens something far older-and far more dangerous-than she could have imagined. Bound to a reluctant alliance with a mysterious vampire, Masha is thrust into a world where shadows have teeth and trust may be deadlier than betrayal. But in a world where monsters wear many faces, will she uncover the truth before it's too late? 🏅4 in Occult Copyright ©️ 2025 by J.A Phoenix This story was originally written in 2023 and is currently undergoing revision.
