Veil Breakers

Delilah Aches was never meant to survive the ritual.
Dragged into the suffocating depths beneath Ashburn, she escapes a monster wearing a doctors face… only to be pulled back into the darkness that devours souls. Three weeks later, she is declared dead. Nobody. No trace. No answers.
But Ashburn has always been a town stitched together by blood and buried secrets.
When William, the orphan she left behind, awakens a power older than time itself, one fatal mistake ignites a chain reaction that fractures the boundary between life and death. Energy bursts into the sky. A bully falls lifeless at his feet. And something ancient stirs beneath the forest.
Now hunted by forces that crave his power, William must descend into realms where memories burn eternally and death is not the end… but a doorway.
In a world where light cannot exist without shadow, the real question is not who will survive.
It is who will return.
