The Scarred Vein
In the fractured realm of Seraphia, three nations cling to a fragile peace upheld by ancient prophecies. Centuries ago, the goddesses imprisoned a woman inside a magical dome after she stole the Epyrix Stone—a powerful artifact fueled by desire and ambition. Trapped but unbroken, she used her cunning to create the city of Aeoonia within her prison. Now, as the dome weakens, whispers of her escape threaten to plunge Seraphia into chaos.
Kora Faye, the reincarnation of a cosmic god, has spent her life preparing to fulfill a prophecy she barely understands. Marked by glowing scars and moss-like green hair, she is both feared and revered as a weapon of immense power. Raised by a stern mentor, Kora has been trained to suppress her desires and focus solely on her destiny. But when her scars awaken long-dormant abilities, she must embark on a dangerous quest to awaken three goddesses, endure their trials, and claim their powers before the imprisoned woman breaks free.
Kora’s journey leads her to the realm’s most anticipated event—the annual trials, where ambition and betrayal run deep, and alliances crumble under hidden agendas. Amid this chaos, Kora becomes entangled with two men: her loyal best friend, who hides his own pain, and a seductive stranger whose dark motives threaten to unravel her resolve. As forbidden passion collides with duty, Kora must navigate a treacherous world of desire and deception, where trust can mean salvation—or ruin.
With the imprisoned woman’s power growing and Seraphia teetering on the brink of collapse, Kora must decide: embrace her destiny and fulfill the prophecy, or risk everything to forge her own path.
