THE VEIL OF ASHES

In the shadowed heart of Victorian London, elite power hides behind masks—both literal and political. When intelligence operative Sidney Orebar uncovers a secret Illuminati faction manipulating the empire from within, he and his allies—Moira Hunter and the elusive Liza—are drawn into a deadly conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of government.

A clandestine ritual, a traitor within their own ranks, and a mysterious mechanical device threaten to destabilize the city. As alliances fracture and identities are unmasked, Orebar confronts a chilling truth: the enemy is not an outsider, but one of their own.

Though the battle ends in fire and smoke, the war remains far from over. Because even when the mask falls… the real face of power may still be watching.
