The Obsidian Veil

Synopsis

In the rain-slicked, shadow-drenched heart of a UK cityscape, ancient horrors stir. A clandestine cabal of demonologists, led by the chillingly charismatic Hierophant, has torn open the veil between worlds, unleashing monstrous entities upon an unsuspecting populace. Dr. Alistair Finch, a brilliant but broken paranormal expert, is haunted by the ghosts of his family and the research that he believes tore them from him. Now, ostracised and cynical, he is the world's last, desperate defence against a coming dark age. As Alistair races against time, battling terrifying creatures and unravelling a deep-seated government conspiracy helmed by the ruthless Agent Thorne, he finds an unexpected ally in Sarah Jenkins, a tenacious investigative journalist. Their burgeoning passion becomes a beacon of hope amidst the escalating chaos, but Sarah’s own family harbours a dark secret, a hidden connection to the cult that threatens to consume them both. Caught between the infernal machinations of the Hierophant and the brutal pragmatism of Project Chimera, Alistair must confront his own inner demons and the crushing guilt of his past. In a climactic confrontation where the fate of the world hangs in the balance, he faces a choice that will define him: succumb to despair or embrace the redemptive power of love and sacrifice, even if it means paying the ultimate price.
