Wander's Lost

Wileum Veyne, better known as Wander, has survived by doing one thing well: leaving before people get the chance to decide what he is.
With crimson eyes, strange magic, and no real memory of where he came from, Wander has learned not to expect kindness from anyone. Most towns shut their doors. Most people look away. So when a small village in Solah offers him food, shelter, and something dangerously close to belonging, he does not know what to do with it.
But peace never lasts long.
The Nightbourne, Solah's feared enforcers, arrive with blood on their hands and the Queen's law behind them. People begin vanishing. Old stories stop sounding like stories. And the power Wander has spent his life burying starts answering to something far darker than himself.
Now Wander has to decide whether he is still just a lost man passing through, or if this place, and the people who took him in, are worth becoming the monster everyone already thinks he is.
This is Book One of The Solah Saga: a dark fantasy about power, guilt, found family, and the terrible cost of finally having something to lose.
