Éveil

In the kingdom of Solrune, Ash Revenhart has lived his life without a Mark of Origin, the symbol of magic that defines one’s place in the world. On the Day of Awakening, Ash remains unmarked—until the orphanage he calls home is destroyed by fire. Barely surviving, he discovers an ancient power deep beneath the city and forms a pact with a mysterious spirit, unlocking a dangerous form of magic known as Veilcraft. Now, Ash must navigate a world that sees him as both a threat and a savior. With the Veil inside him, he uncovers secrets about the Ashen—those born without marks—and their connection to an ancient evil. As he gains power, Ash faces enemies from the Dominions of Crest, including the fierce noblewoman Velka Aurin, and must choose whether to embrace the darkness within or protect the world from it.

Power wears many faces. Magic is just one of them. When a sickly noble heir stumbles upon a strange gift — the ability to see through the veil of power. He sets out to rebuild his crumbling house, not with sword or spell… but with silver, strategy, and secrets. But in a Kingdom where strength is currency and weakness gets buried, Cael Varissen must learn fast: wealth is fragile, war is inevitable, and magic? It’s far older and hungrier than anyone cares to admit. What if the most dangerous magic wasn’t in spells, but in shrewd business deals... and dangerous alliances of the heart? In a world where political ambition, economic strategy, and forbidden desires hold as much sway as any ancient power, every alliance comes with a price. This is the heart of House of Ash and Gold. ... What to expect: Slow-burn political fantasy with teeth Layered worldbuilding A subtle, mysterious magic system Romance threaded through ambition What NOT to Expect: Instant overpowered MC Fast-food pacing Harem or shallow romance One-note villains Endless exposition dumps

Kael dropped his hands down, causing his blade to run along the jagged ground, sending burst of sparks infused with dark-magic across the floor. His victim, a bloodied werewolf, laid on the ground, staring at him with his one trembling eye. Kael growled as he knelt beside the dying beast. “They sent me to tell you, wolf…” He lifted his sword and placed it on werewolf’s neck. “… your end has come.” ................. The world was dying The Blinding Veil - a divine seal formed by the beings of past was the one thing stopping the entire world from meeting its end. But it’s effects are already fading as the seal had begun to break and the evil curse the ancestors had tried to ward off with the seal had begun to seep in through the cracks in the bleeding veil. Vampires were going rogue, werewolves killed without reason, the Elves turned to dark magic, the faes sat and watched the evil unfold without interfering. And the humans? They were reduced to hundreds, losing a battle even their techs couldn't help win. But Kael Draven, a god-blade wielding killer with no memory of his past, is not like them. Once a child soldier and now a hired gun, Kael believes his targets are the danger—until a failed assignment reveals a terrible truth: They're not the threat. He is. Chased by his former masters, Kael joins a half-elf warlock, a exiled werewolf, a Fae torturer, and a human prodigy. As the world is about to end, Kael learns that he's not human—nor hybrid. He is something more... With everything and everyone after him, will Kael become the monster he was designed to be, or seal the pact that wants to end him?

When Zane Veil, a forgotten foster kid turned street survivor, is pulled into the world’s most powerful secret empire, he inherits more than fortune. He inherits enemies. From poison in the boardroom to bombs in the night, every move is a gamble against billionaires, spies, and a centuries-old cabal. To claim the Veritas Protocol is to hold the keys to the world, if it doesn’t destroy him first.

The world looks ordinary cities, schools, streets filled with noise and neon but behind the veil lurks a truth few can see. Mystics walk among us, monsters stir in shadows, and ancient powers wait to be claimed. Mordaine Carrowell is a nobody. Overlooked, mocked, forgotten. Until a forgotten pendant in his parents’ abandoned home awakens the impossible inside him: the Aetherflame, a forbidden magic that fuses fire, wind, and spirit. Now hunted by Inquisitors and feared by mystics alike, Mordaine is thrust into a hidden war of relics, betrayal, and monsters. Guided by a scarred mentor and joined by a stubborn ally, he must master the fire that could save the world or burn it to ash. In a world of swords, sorcery, and secrets, even a forgotten boy can rise with mystic power.
