In Nor, a Veyn is spirit made flesh-memory, family, and love written into the skin. To be named an AshVeyn is a curse, a declaration of cruelty and emptiness where a soul should live.
When an ancient treaty is shattered, the forested valley of Nor is thrust into war against the industrial Smalg. Dragons clash with airships. Poison fogs consume the land. Above it all drifts Aeropolis, a sky-city of silk and steel that profits from the scar it carves into the world.
As families are torn apart and survival becomes an act of defiance, bonds of kinship, humor, and quiet courage prove stronger than conquest. AshVeyn is a character-driven epic fantasy that rejects traditional spellcasting in favor of grounded systems, environmental consequence, and the cost of power unbalanced.
This is the beginning of the AshVeyn Series.
