Description

⚜️ About This Novel

Long ago, when humanity had yet to thrive, the earth was ruled by ancient creatures. Some were slain by extinction, some were banished behind the Veil, and some faded silently into myth.

When the Veil fractured in the age of King Solomon, humankind faced a new terror: not only creatures breaching our heaven, but the dark gift unveiled to us — magic.

In that age, the hunt began. Bleakborn covenants rose to face the unseen, to destroy humans who dared to twist the earth’s essence, and to mutilate the ancient ones before they could awaken.

For centuries, these divinely bound hunters fought back the tide. But as the world drifts toward blasphemy, can even the Bleakborn hold their ground?

✒️ Author’s Note

On AI AssistanceI use AI strictly as a tool for refinement: polishing language, checking historical accuracy, enriching the textures of places and landscapes, and mapping out the world’s important locations. Every creative choice, words chosen and sentences written, character, and plot remains deeply personal. My hope is that readers see past the tools and feel the heart behind the story.

On Fiction and CoincidenceAll names, events, and locations in this novel are fictional. Any resemblance to real people, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental and unintended.

On Process and EffortMy main job takes much of my time, so I write this novel in the quiet hours between work — often letting my mind wander and shape the story in moments of rest. It’s a slow, imperfect process built from stolen time and stubborn love, but every word is chosen with care.

On Lore and CodicesTo deepen the world, each chapter is accompanied by a lore codex — exploring forgotten histories, ancient orders, and the hidden meanings behind names and places.

On UpdatesMy goal is to release a new chapter — each paired with its lore codex — every week or two, as life permits. Quality will always come before speed.

Thank you for stepping into this world.
