Veins of Fate

The calendar shows the year 620. Science is still in its infancy, medicine is rudimentary, and the world is filled with undiscovered secrets. For Ethan Hunter, it all began with the simple desire to pick an apple. But a fleeting glimpse of a silhouette atop a tree and the terrifying visions that struck him in that moment would pull him toward the darkest, most hidden mysteries of humanity. These secrets are not only about his life—they hint at the hidden paths of time, fate, and unseen forces. With every step and every glance, invisible dangers linger beside Ethan. Even the shadows of the quiet orchard hum with strange, unexpected sounds. What started as something simple will lead him into a world far deeper, darker, and more mysterious than he could have imagined.
