Crimson Still

Under an unmoving Blood Moon, the world has entered the Crimson Still, a frozen age where time no longer flows and monsters roam freely through dying streets. Aveline Veyn awakens from her grave with no memory of her life, only the knowledge of her death. Resurrected by a forbidden rite, she learns the truth of her curse. Her body will slowly weaken, rot, and fade back into nothing. Resurrection was never meant to last. As the Blood Moon looms over a ruined city and civilians are slaughtered by creatures born of blood and madness, Eliara is named the chosen hunter, the one tasked with ending the Still. Yet survival comes at a terrible price. Her weapons are alive. A small sickle becomes her first companion, glowing as it drinks the blood of her enemies and restores her strength with every kill. To live, she must hunt. To endure, she must feed her weapons. And to break the curse, she must uncover the truth behind the frozen moon and the god that watches from it. In a world where time has stopped but death has not, Eliara must decide how much of her humanity she is willing to lose just to survive.
