About

Once, the world belonged to us. Now, it belongs to them. The creatures of the night. Humanity clings to life in scattered strongholds, rival factions huddled behind crumbling walls while the horrors in the wilderness pound on the steam-powered gates. The sacred Flame bestows reality-bending powers to the worthy, but gives the same power to the horrors that haunt the night. In one such stronghold, a young man is caught between ruthless hunters and the abominations from beyond the wall. Desperate to rise above his insignificance, he dreams of wielding the Flame’s blessings. But the Flame is without mercy or prejudice. To earn the chance to climb its ranks, he must endure in a fading city ripe with hunger and danger. And when the flame demands cruelty and grisly transformation, he must decide. Does he still deserve to be called human? What to expect:  [x] Explicit violence. Seriously I mean it, you've been warned.  [x] Bloodborne inspired horror.  [x] An Eldritch abomination or two. [x] Progression Fantasy with religious undertones.  [x] Property damage, peddling stolen goods, jaywalking and manslaughter. [x] Release Wednesday and Sunday 12:30 CEST Book 1 complete and book 2 is written but going through editing.
