“He was born without a name, with eyes that see too much. The Veil calls to him, and the world fears what he’ll become. In an Empire ruled by religion and lies, sometimes the only truth… is what you see when no one else can.”

In the Empire, power is a divine gift passed through Noble blood, but divinity comes at a cost.

Damian has no past. Four years ago, he awoke in a cult’s burning forest, with knowledge of Earth and this worlds story, but none of his past. Now, at sixteen, he's forced into a noble ceremony that was never meant for someone like him. When his Awakening reveals a forbidden power - eyes that gaze into the Veil - he's thrust into a world of political games, religious fanaticism, and ancient secrets better left forgotten.

As the world spirals into war and madness, Damian must survive assassins, heretics, the Inquisition, and worse - the truth about who he really is, and his past.

Torn between fate and freedom, haunted by a enigmatic girl trapped in a dream, and hunted by a world that fears what he might become...

Can Damian survive what lies ahead - or will the Veil claim him first?

I've had the last wave of assements and they are officially done. So for today, I have focused on editing the starting chapters, and will get straight back to it tommorow.
