Kael of the Black Veins

In the rotting underbelly of Virelia, power is not a gift. It is a debt.

Kael was never meant to survive the Syndicate’s experiments. Fused with unstable forces of gravity and electricity, he escaped with fractured memories, a body marked by black veins, and a second presence inside him that hungers for destruction. He lives carefully, relying on control and restraint, refusing to become the weapon they designed.

Then a girl named Lira appears—someone who should not exist. Her power fractures reality and memory, and her presence stirs something Kael has tried to bury: the voice of a girl from the laboratory who once told him to be better than the evil of the world.

Hunted by the Syndicate and bound to a power that grows more addictive the deeper he reaches, Kael must choose.

Stay human…  
or become the monster waiting beneath his skin.
