So What Is The Veil And The Vessel About Anyways?

Let’s get into it.

This book is dark fantasy with lovecraftian elements—gritty, atmospheric, and a little unhinged in all the right ways. If you're into worlds where power corrupts, faith burns, and memory can be weaponized, then you’re exactly where you need to be.

It opens with a man who was hanged at dawn. Crown-blessed, flame-sanctified, buried in a traitor’s grave. And yet… he comes back. Not whole, not clean, and certainly not as the man they buried. He doesn’t remember everything. But what he does remember? It’s enough to light a match in a kingdom soaked in oil.

Expect wandering exiles, broken paladins, witch-burners in crimson robes, and rebels who don’t believe in heroes anymore. You’ll walk through ash-choked villages, crumbling keeps, and forests where ancient entities sleep. The world is old, ruled by law and fire, and crumbling beneath the weight of its own faith.

The story dives deep into themes of zealotry, control, ancestral guilt, and the terrifying ambiguity between prophecy and manipulation. There’s no chosen one here. Just people trying to survive a world that eats its own history and calls it sacred.

If you liked the bleak realism of A Song of Ice and Fire, the slow-burning heresy of The Black Company, or the moral complexity of The First Law trilogy—you’ll probably find something here to sink your teeth into.

But I’m not trying to rewrite those books. I’m trying to carve out something personal. This story has roots in the things I grew up loving: D&D tables littered with dice and drama, painted miniatures marching to their doom, late nights lost in grim fantasy worlds where nothing is simple and nobody gets out clean.

I’ll be posting more soon—art, lore drops, behind-the-scenes worldbuilding, and maybe even a few pages if im lucky.

Thanks for being here. It means more than you know.
