Rachel Wren, a forensic psychologist with a fractured past, and Tom Harlow, a disgraced investigative journalist drowning in his own demons, return to Hollow Ridge, the town that almost swallowed them whole. Bound by shared trauma, buried secrets, and an undeniable hunger that has never faded, their return unearths more than just the Veilkeeper's legend-it awakens something ancient, ravenous, and watching. The Veilkeeper, an entity older than time, feeds on fear, desire, and suffering, twisting reality and ensnaring its victims in a labyrinth of nightmares. Every thirteen years, it demands blood-a sacrifice from the descendants of Hollow Ridge's founders, an offering to keep the veil between worlds from collapsing. But Rachel and Tom's return isn't coincidence. They were always meant to come back. The Veilkeeper is inside them, watching, whispering, waiting. Their bodies burn with an attraction that feels too strong to be natural-too consuming, too raw, too wrong. In the dead of night, Rachel dreams of hands brushing over her skin, breath against her throat, shadows curling around her like lovers, their touch leaving bruises. She wakes to find her body aching, as if touched by something that should not exist. Tom, unable to resist the pull of her, finds himself losing control. He watches her in ways he never did before, drawn to her pain, to the haunted look in her eyes. He knows it's the Veilkeeper. He knows it's inside him, threading hunger through his veins. But the more he resists, the more he wants. Their connection-violent, desperate, inescapable-may be the key to either breaking the curse or fulfilling it. As the Veilkeeper tightens its grip, Hollow Ridge warps into a waking fever dream of lust and terror, where desire and destruction are one and the same. The closer they get to the truth, the harder it becomes to tell whether they're fighting the Veilkeeper... or becoming part of its legend.

In the sprawling waste zones of Ashfield, a city choked by the refuse of a broken society, Jack Vesper sorts through discarded junk with no real future in sight. At 25, he's just another misfit, another person tossed aside by the world, now working a grueling job as a garbage sorter. The days are monotonous, but when he stumbles upon a strange, black metal sphere buried deep in the trash, everything changes. Curious, Jack presses a hidden button on the sphere, releasing a small black chip into his hand. It feels heavy with mystery and potential, too precise to be just another piece of discarded tech. With no one else around on a slow Saturday shift, Vesper pockets the chip and continues his work, unaware that this seemingly insignificant object is about to pull him into a new, dangerous world. Jack's curiosity gets the better of him, and he travels to a long-forgotten lab on the outskirts of the city. The lab, once a hub for cutting-edge research, is now abandoned, its halls lined with old maps, blueprints, and cryptic notes. As he begins to study the charts, he discovers a book of labyrinths spanning the globe-labyrinths not just made of stone, but of technology and power, their existence hidden from the world. Some of these labyrinths hold secrets of unimaginable value; others, unfathomable dangers. The chip seems to be a key-a gateway into these labyrinths. As Jack begins to piece together the labyrinth's secrets, he realizes that it could lead him to a power unlike anything the world has ever known. But with that power comes the threat of those who would stop at nothing to control it. The line between friend and foe blurs, and Vesper must navigate not only the physical maze but the twisted web of secrets and lies surrounding him. The adventure begins with one small chip-and the future depends on what Jack discovers within the labyrinth's depths.
