The Veins of Ruin

By Philip Stengel

In the scarred kingdom of Vyrithar, the curse of the Hollow has been vanquished-but peace is only a mask stretched thin over deeper, older horrors. As unnatural growth erupts from the land and black veins pulse beneath the soil, Prince Alaric Vyrith and his war-weary companions uncover a terrifying truth: the Hollow was merely a servant. Something far worse stirs beneath the surface-Vyrak, the Veinlord, a forgotten god of ruin now awakening through blood and shadow.

Driven by visions, prophecy, and the scars left behind, Alaric, Seraphine, and a fractured fellowship must race against time to uncover ancient rites, rally dwindling allies, and survive battles against corrupted beasts and fanatical cultists known as the Ascendants. Their journey will test the strength of their bonds, the limits of sacrifice, and the soul of the land itself.

Blending visceral dark fantasy, gothic horror, and epic adventure, The Veins of Ruin is a brutal tale of resilience, ancient power, and the slow unraveling of hope beneath a world that heals too fast... and too wrong.
