The Scarred Vein

In the realm of Seraphia, three nations stand on uneasy ground, bound by an ancient prophecy. Long ago, the goddesses sealed away a woman who dared to steal the Epyrix Stone—a relic fueled by raw ambition. Trapped beneath a magical dome, she did not wither. She built Aeoonia, a city of power within her prison, waiting for the moment when the barrier would fracture. Now, that moment is near, and the balance of the world teeters on the edge of collapse.

Kora Faye has spent her life preparing for a fate she doesn’t fully understand. Marked by glowing scars and moss-green hair, she carries the weight of a prophecy that demands she awaken three slumbering goddesses and claim their power. Only then can she stop the woman imprisoned beneath the dome.

To do this, she enters the Sands of Selection Trials, where warriors are forged and futures are decided. But the trials are more than a test of skill. They are a battleground of shifting alliances, deception, and ruthless ambition. Amidst it all, Kora is drawn to two very different men—Silas, the steadfast companion who has always been by her side, and Adrian, a charming stranger with secrets as deep as his gaze.

As Kora fights for survival, the past begins to surface—whispers of forgotten truths, buried betrayals, and a power inside her that refuses to be chained. With time running out and the world poised on the brink of war, she must make a choice.

Follow the path carved out for her… or defy fate entirely.

🗺️🧭 The Veinmarked Realms

A world divided by divine wrath, destined to bleed again.
One day, even the skies will tear open.

✦🜃

Most in Seraphia believe theirs is the only realm.
They remain unaware of what lies beyond the mountains, and the secrets the stars have long forgotten.
But long ago, something happened—something powerful enough to divide what was once whole.

✦🜃

There are whispers of lands lost to time, names struck from memory, and truths the goddesses buried.

What remains is Seraphia:
A realm of three uneasy nations, ancient prophecy, and a force once silenced, now stirring against its chains.

✦🜃

Below is a map of the world as it appears in The Scarred Vein. But what’s known is only part of the truth.

✦🜃 The map of Seraphia and the surrounding realms will be unveiled soon.
Some doors are better opened slowly.

✦🜃

“One touched the crystal.
Four doors opened.
None closed.”
—The Ravuskor Fragment, untranslated inscription recovered from the Sanctum of Kael’thera

The Scarred Vein is a complete adult epic fantasy novel and the first in a planned series. While it stands on its own, the book opens the door to a larger saga filled with divine resonance, political intrigue, and ruinous love.

This is the beginning of the Ravuskor Cycle—a saga of broken memory, divine inheritance, and the bond that refuses to fade.

I’m currently seeking literary representation. If you’re an agent or editor interested in exploring The Scarred Vein, I would be happy to provide a full synopsis, sample chapters, or the complete manuscript upon request.
