Scorched in Darkness

Nareth, a half-living continent that clings to its own decay, survival isn’t about fighting the apocalypse — it’s about enduring the silence that came after. It thrives like a wound that refuses to close, where traders barter for breathable air and scavengers whisper prayers to machines that no longer respond. Cralin and Iven, cousins bound by necessity more than affection, live among the merchants and mechanists who desperately try to fix this broken world. Now, in their humble city, where memory itself corrodes, the bonds of time begin to falter and overlap with the present. The worst was yet to come. The disaster of the past was never gone, just silently waiting.
