CRIMSON VEIL — BOOK ONE
The Hunger Below
In a rain-soaked Manhattan haunted by impossible reflections and whispers beneath the streets, Mina Vale lives an ordinary life—until the sky opens its eye.
What begins as a night of strange blackouts and mass hallucinations spirals into a cosmic catastrophe as reality itself starts to drown from the inside. Mirrors become gateways. Floodwater rises from beneath the city. And something ancient buried below the world begins waking up.
The only person who seems prepared for the apocalypse is Lucien—a mysterious man carrying memories of countless dead worlds and a blade forged to kill gods. He claims Mina is the key to stopping the coming Flood.
But the truth is far worse.
As the city collapses beneath an endless black ocean beyond reality, Mina begins recovering fragments of impossible memories:
worlds swallowed by darkness, galaxies drowned beneath cosmic tides… and Lucien dying for her over and over across countless timelines.
Because this is not the first world to end.
And Mina may not be humanity’s savior—
but the forgotten queen of the catastrophe itself.
Blending gothic horror, psychological dread, cosmic terror, and tragic dark fantasy, Crimson Veil: Book One — The Hunger Below is the beginning of an apocalyptic saga about memory, grief, identity, and the terrifying weight of surviving the end of reality.
