A Rift in the Veil

by H.G. Price

Three worlds. One boy caught between them all — between light and fire, duty and desire, and the people he shouldn't want.

When a rift tears open above Valeport's market, dockworker Tarin Vale discovers a power he can't explain — a Twinsigil that binds both light and darkness. Hunted by forces on every side of the Veil, Tarin must learn to wield what he doesn't understand, trust companions with secrets of their own, and resist the pull of someone whose steady hands and stubborn silence make the road feel more dangerous than any rift.

Three Realms, One Veil

The Veil is the barrier between worlds — and it is failing. Rifts tear open without warning, spilling creatures and corruption into a world that has forgotten why the barrier exists.

  • Sarnai — The human world. Coastal cities, ancient forests, fortress walls built over rift scars. A civilization that has learned to forget.
  • Nharuk — The demon world. Volcanic plains, obsidian deserts, a court ruled by fire and succession duels. Not evil — different, proud, and dangerous.
  • Aetheris — The Quiet Sea. A metasphere of memory and intent where the Veil was first forged — and where it can be unmade.
