In the mist-shrouded streets of Veridian, a city of stark contrasts and ancient secrets, the Ashen Covenant has stood as a bulwark against the forces of darkness. For centuries, its knights have wielded forbidden technology and ancient rites to combat the Wraithborn, malevolent entities born from humanity's own darkness.
When seasoned knight Eleanor Voss discovers a cryptic symbol etched into the corpse of a Wraithborn, she uncovers a web of conspiracy that threatens to upend the fragile balance of power in Veridian. As she delves deeper into the mystery, Eleanor must confront her own demons and navigate treacherous alliances with rogue inventors, charismatic rebels, and enigmatic figures with their own agendas.
With the fate of Veridian hanging in the balance, Eleanor must choose between her loyalty to the Ashen Covenant and her duty to protect humanity. Will she find a way to redeem her order, or will the shadows consume them all?

One of One
Veridian: a paradise sculpted from lies, a gilded cage where flawless illusion conceals a rot that seeps into the very air. Elara Vance feels the tremors, the subtle fractures that threaten to shatter their meticulously crafted reality. An anomaly, a stain on their perfect existence, she finds herself ensnared in a dangerous, intoxicating dance with Nyxian, a being of terrifying power, who seems to command the very essence of their world. His touch is a jolt, a raw current that ignites a forbidden inferno within her. His gaze, a burning brand, sears into her soul, awakening a slow, creeping awareness that claws at her sanity. Their connection is a volatile storm, a tempest of desire and repulsion that threatens to obliterate everything in its path. Each encounter is a razor's edge, a spark that could ignite into a conflagration that consumes them both. He is the linchpin of Veridian's fragile existence, yet Elara is more than just a glitch in the system. She is a dark enigma, a force that could either shatter the illusion and unleash a terrifying truth, or become the very catalyst for its catastrophic collapse. The gilded cage is cracking, and the secrets within are hungry to be unleashed. I do not allow MY work to be used or adapted in any way without MY permission.
