introduction: Harry Vedman is an ordinary college student living a painfully average life in the small city of Ashmere—until a single act of misplaced kindness draws the attention of the city’s underworld. Brutally beaten and pushed from a cliff by the notorious Jones brothers, Harry’s life should have ended there. Instead, death opens a door. Saved by an ancient heirloom and dragged across realms, Harry awakens in a ruined world ruled by violet storms and forgotten gods. There, a powerful succubus named Velora intervenes—reviving him, reshaping his body, and awakening a dormant truth within his soul. Harry returns to the human world no longer fully human, but an incubus, bound to hunger, emotion, and a power he barely understands.
