Ember of the Shattered Veil

starbosslegends
The Bloodforge squats in a valley of ash and bone, its obsidian heart pulsing with a hunger that could rip the Veil to shreds and drown the world in abyss. Three damned souls, forged in blood and betrayal, are chained to its call—each a blade honed by their own scars, each a spark that could ignite the end. Zorak Draven, a cursed outcast with a sigil that burns his chest and whispers of slaughter, hunts the forge’s shard to sever his soul from its leash. One wrong step, and the voices in his blood will claim him. Syris Vaelor, a priestess of the Emberheart, wields fire and defiance, her visions dragging her from temple dogma to a crucible of shadow. Her faith is her shield, but even gods bleed. Lirien Thorn, dragon-bonded commander of the Iron Bastion, rides Vyrath into the storm, her rider’s blade sworn to stop the forge’s awakening. Yet her clan’s secrets gnaw at her, and loyalty is a noose tightening around her neck. The Bloodforge doesn’t bargain. It devours. Shadow-wraiths claw from the Veil’s cracks, sorcerers weave treachery in the Accord’s halls, and a traitor’s knife waits in the dark. Zorak, Syris, and Lirien are no heroes—they’re blades clashing in a crucible of mistrust, desire, and desperation. Every choice is a wound: seize the shard and court annihilation, or shatter it and watch their world burn. In a realm where hope is a lie and power is a curse, Ember of the Shattered Veil is a brutal saga of vengeance, sacrifice, and the cost of defying fate. The forge is waking. The abyss is watching. And blood will decide.

Blood & Vapor: A Song of the West [A Steampunk Western]

Wasters. The word spreads like wildfire across the frontier—whispered in saloons, cursed in cathedrals. Born of rogue science and stitched metal, they’re outlaws in the eyes of the Church and monsters in the eyes of the world. Levi Wilson didn’t choose this life. Once a streetwise mercenary, he was captured, experimented on, and turned into something he doesn’t understand. Augmented with prototype Vaporguard tech and left with scars he can’t outrun, Levi escapes into a land already teetering on the edge—where the Church tightens its grip, bounty hunters chase Wasters for coin, and the Old World’s empire watches the New with hungry eyes. Now hunted and alone, Levi must learn to survive—not just the bounty hunters and Inquisition on his trail, but the growing power inside him. What begins as a fight to stay alive will drag him into something far greater: a war for the soul of the frontier, and maybe the world beyond it. **WHAT TO EXPECT** • Guns are outlawed—blades, fists, and augments rule the frontier • Alternate timeline where the Church controls global tech and power • Steam-powered war machines and brutal Inquisitors • Grounded, gritty combat with realistic consequences • Deep worldbuilding with political, cultural, and religious conflict • Third-person limited POV with strong character focus • No chosen ones, no prophecy—just survival • Slow-burn mystery and high-stakes tension • No harem • Earthsong magic with real costs, not flashy spells • Bounty hunters, Templar Knights, orphans, war criminals, and broken survivors
