Two strangers. Five Dominions. Brutal betrayals. One dying world.

Ethan Walker and Sara Bellies never believed the stories about the mist, the old man, or the house in the woods. But when the urban legend proved real, they were dragged from Earth and hurled into a world fractured by betrayal and bound by blood-infused magic.

Veslorn is not a land of chosen ones. Here, survival demands sacrifice. As the remnants of old kingdoms stir and dark powers rise to tighten their grip, Ethan and Sara are forced to confront what it means to fight not just for each other, but for a world they never asked to save.

But the deeper they descend into the heart of Veslorn, the more the lines blur between memory and manipulation, between loyalty and deception. In a realm where magic corrupts and even love may betray, the cost of hope could be everything.

The Journey of the Strangers is the haunting first installment in The Valdaryn Saga, a cinematic, character-driven dark fantasy series where illusion is weaponized, survival is brutal, and nothing is what it seems.
