The Astral Dagger

On a dying rogue planet adrift between galaxies, an ancient blade cuts more than flesh—it severs the very fabric of reality.

Welcome to Drenavar, a world of violet sands, crimson skies, and secrets buried beneath aeons of ash and astral storms. Once the heart of a mighty interstellar empire, Drenavar is now fractured into warring city-states and haunted ruins. Ancient machines sleep beneath its surface. Eldritch creatures roam its silver forests. And in the heart of it all, a forgotten relic stirs.

Khorin Veilborne is a scavenger without a past, bearing a sigil that burns beneath the crimson sun. When he survives a deadly raid and unearths the Astral Dagger—a relic capable of slicing through dimensions—he becomes the unwilling pivot in a cosmic conflict. But the blade calls to something older, something buried deep in the void. And now, it’s listening.

Beside Khorin stand unlikely allies:

Together, they journey through Drenavar’s most perilous realms—the time-warped Black Arches, the humming Silver Gardens, and the abyssal Obsidian Maw—as they confront rival factions, cursed technology, and the ancient entity known only as The Unnamed Hunger. Twisting reality and memory itself, this force has possessed Torrin Draedh, a warlord who seeks godhood through the Dagger’s power.

What begins as a quest for survival becomes a reckoning with prophecy, identity, and the crumbling legacy of an empire that tore open doors best left closed.

The Astral Dagger is a science-fantasy epic laced with cosmic horror, written for fans of dark world-building, character-driven storytelling, and mythic stakes that ripple across dimensions. As reality unravels and the past resurfaces, one question echoes across the stars:

What do you become when the world forgets your name… but something far older remembers?
