The Shatterveil

In the year 2478, humanity thrives across the Orion Arm, protected by the Shatterveil, a cosmic lattice that shields colonized worlds from the Nullstorm, an apocalyptic wave of entropy that erases matter and memory. The Veil is sustained by the Veilweavers, genetically engineered humans who sacrifice their identities to channel its energy, their pasts erased to ensure unwavering loyalty. Kaelith Varn, a Veilweaver aboard the Aetherion, is one such guardian until forbidden memories of a life she never knew begin to surface, defying her neural blocks. When a destabilizing breach in the Shatterveil nearly unleashes the Nullstorm, Kaelith’s fleeting visionsna name, Mira, and a child’s face spark a crisis of purpose. Branded a threat by the Orion Concord, the galaxy’s authoritarian rulers, she uncovers a chilling truth: her memories are linked to a conspiracy to collapse the Veil, orchestrated by a traitor within the Concord. With the help of Toren Calyx, a rogue data-miner hired to kill her but drawn to her cause, Kaelith flees to Nexara’s lawless underbelly, racing to unravel the secrets of her past. As the Shatterveil frays and the Nullstorm looms, Kaelith allies with Dr. Elara Sovren, the guilt-ridden scientist behind the Veilweaver program, and confronts Admiral Vren Korsath, the Concord’s ruthless leader who will sacrifice billions to maintain control. Kaelith must navigate betrayal, rogue AI, and her own fracturing mind to decide: reclaim the self she lost and risk the galaxy’s annihilation, or embrace her role as its selfless shield, knowing the Veil’s true cost. In a universe where truth is the ultimate weapon, Kaelith’s fight will determine whether humanity survives or falls to the void. The Shatterveil is a gripping sci-fi epic blending hard science, political intrigue, and emotional depth, perfect for readers craving a fresh, character-driven saga with high-stakes action and serialized twists.
