A huge city, glowing with neon lights, but reality is very, very fragile. Underneath this modern world, a hidden border called the Veil separates the human realm from a long-forgotten dimension of monsters, ancient gods, and untold magic. This barrier, invisible to most, has kept the two worlds apart for centuries. Its secrets are buried deep in government archives, religious texts, and forgotten folklore, but none dare seek them. That is, until Kiran Vale, a talented but reckless hacker, unknowingly cracks it wide open.
Kiran's life is all about a quiet rebellion and restless curiosity. He is an expert in slipping past digital firewalls and unlocking classified files. He has spent years hacking into systems others wouldn't touch. It is when he hears such a whispered rumor that it leads him to a project of the government under the codename "Veil Initiative," which he finds irresistible. The files are encrypted heavily, but Kiran has made up his mind. He hacks through the government servers, knowing that this is just going to be one of those jobs for him. Little does he know that this would trigger something a lot darker than he could ever imagine- a mammoth rupture in the Veil itself.
In no time, everything in the world changes. His laptop screen flickers, and Kiran can feel the deep, primal hum in the air. The crack in the Veil opens wide, and through it pours creatures of shadow and nightmare, creatures that no human should ever see. Kiran finds himself in the middle of it, unable to comprehend what is happening as the world around him starts to change.
The final battle will cost more than Claire ever imagined-but the price of victory is worth every sacrifice.
Claire has reached the end of her journey, coming face to face with the evil sorcerer Kane. Her promise to defeat him comes at a heavy cost. It's clear that in order to end his reign of terror, she will lose something vital. But even with the stakes higher than ever, she's not alone. Feowen, the captain of her guard, has followed her through the portal to Shadowkeep. Though he cannot help her defeat Kane, he will do everything in his power to bring her back alive.
Back in Kastali Dun, Talon and his inner circle must work to rebuild the kingdom. Kane's hostile rule may be over, but the damage lingers-an underground syndicate of thieves is causing trouble, and Oshea's sorcerers have infiltrated coastal cities. As Claire and Talon face new challenges, the kingdom's future depends on healing old wounds and sealing new bonds.
Dallin the Purple is the thrilling and emotional conclusion to The Dragonwall Series. In this final chapter, friendships will be strengthened, sacrifices made, and a kingdom reimagined.
