VAESEN - The Ruins of the World

** Could an undying love blossom in the ruins of a shattered world? **

And so the world of men was lost
and a new one, our world,
was born.

4th cycle anno Bellum.

The Second World War, which drove humanity to the abyss, has not only left death and destruction in its wake but has also opened the door to another reality. When the situation threatens to tip over, German cultists resort to desperate measures: They use a magical artifact that changes the fate of all humanity. It ripped the veil to Thule apart and revealed the realm of myths and legends.

Beings that once only existed in the tales of the ancients now rule the world.
In the ruins of the old times and an emerging new society with mighty rulers, the so-called Vaesen, the few survivors fight desperately for their existence while the remaining Cultists of the Thule Society work secretly to seal the world's fate once more.

But amid chaos and despair, hope also arises.

A Shapeshifter driven by revenge and an Bloodhunter of the Strigoi who harbors secrets of her own becomes caught up in the intrigue. Together, they embark on a hunt that could decide whether the world remains the same or undergoes another bloody transformation.

In a storm of attraction, prejudice, and magic, Zane and Myreille must not only sort out their feelings and overcome the hostile Vaesen's entanglements but also fight against the impending doom that threatens to devour the last lives.
