Synopsis

Erevas is a world in the twilight of its dying sun, balancing on the cusp of industrial revolution and mystical upheaval. While technology and industry reshape its cities and nations, the Veil’s influence threatens to unravel the fragile order. Beneath the surface of societal progress lies a hidden, supernatural world, policed by secretive Orthodox churches and powerful governments.



In this world shrouded by the dying light of a crimson sun, aspiring detective Elias Thorne stumbles upon a gruesome ritual that tears the Veil. Bound to an ancient artifact that grants him a dangerous connection to the Veil, Elias is thrust into a hidden world of corrupt magic, secretive churches, and mystical factions vying for control.

Hello! Shameless author here, writing a review for my own book! I finally made up my mind to leave a review, even though I hesitated many times, thinking it might seem weird or awkward. However, the main reason I decided to do this is, of course, to convince you, the person reading this review, to give my book a try. Now, let me explain why you should. First off, this story is a mixture of fantasy, detective mystery, and gothic horror, which is why it starts off a bit slow. I understand that many readers might be put off by this, as most popular web novels are fast-paced and action-packed. But I promise it will be worth it if you give my story a chance. I also deliberately made the power system—and, by extension, how the world works—vague and mysterious. This was done intentionally to reveal things bit by bit, creating an air of intrigue around the lore of the world. My hope is that this gradual unraveling will lead to a satisfying payoff when the mysteries are finally revealed. I sincerely hope that some of the reasons I mentioned resonate with you and convince you to give this story a shot. If they do, welcome—and enjoy your journey into the mysterious world of Erevas!
