I want to be upfront about where things stand. Veil of Chaos made it onto Rising Stars and held steady—something I’m proud of—but it didn’t get the momentum I needed to sustain everything long-term.
That doesn’t mean I’m giving up on it. VoC will continue with weekly chapters while I test something new to find a story that connects more deeply and can carry the weight of everything else forward.
The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
That story is Winter’s Rebirth: Northern Conquest.
It’s faster-paced, tighter, and built around action, strategy, and survival—something I’ve wanted to explore for a long time.
A reincarnated WWII captain. A hundred settlers. A frozen frontier filled with monsters and rival nobles.
The mission: survive the winter or die trying.
If you’ve enjoyed my worlds before, I’d love your help giving this one a fighting chance—especially during its launch on Royal Road. Early follows, favorites, and ratings make all the difference in those first 48 hours.
Thank you for every bit of patience and support as I keep refining what works. You’re the reason these worlds exist at all.
