What if the architect of ruin became humanity's quietest healer?

In the gilded cages of Nysmera's elite, Kaien Luxe Vernisse was a prodigy of manipulation. Taught by his ruthless grandfather, Elias, Kaien mastered the art of the "velvet chains"—invisible bonds of influence, debt, and fear that held the city in a vice-like grip. He built an empire on the shattered lives of others, his conscience a distant whisper, his heart encased in ice.

But when a devastating scandal rips through the Vernisse dynasty, exposing their insidious network and shattering their power, Kaien is left with nothing but the ruins of his name and the crushing weight of his sins. Stripped of his identity, hunted by those he wronged, he plunges into the very depths of the Lower Veil, the impoverished district his family once exploited. Here, amidst the broken and forgotten, a chance for an impossible atonement flickers.

Velvet Chains of Thorns is a sprawling saga of darkness, decay, and an extraordinary journey toward redemption. Follow Kaien as he sheds his former skin, trading manipulation for empathy, control for compassion. From the sterile boardrooms of power to the raw, visceral struggles of the city's underbelly, he must confront the monstrous legacy he inherited and the monster he became.

This isn't a story of easy forgiveness, but of hard-won transformation. Through the unlikely mentorship of Elena Petrova, a woman whose life embodies the opposite of everything he once stood for, Kaien dedicates himself to the "Art of Repair"—not of objects, but of souls. He learns to mend the very wounds he once inflicted, piece by agonizing piece.

Discover:

Can a man who perfected the art of the "velvet chains" ever truly break free? Can he forge a new legacy, not of thorns, but of enduring hope?

From the author who brings you complex characters and intricate plots, Velvet Chains of Thorns is a powerful testament to the human spirit's capacity for redemption, a journey into the heart of darkness and the unyielding pursuit of light. Perfect for readers who love sweeping sagas of moral reckoning, psychological depth, and the triumph of the human spirit.

Unravel the velvet chains. Discover the extraordinary path to redemption.
