Veinbound: The Red Bargain

VEINBOUND
The Red Bargain Trilogy- Book 1

The Red Church does not forgive.
It records.
In a world where magic is bound by debt and every spell must be paid in blood, the Red Church governs with ledgers and leeches, masks and mercy measured in drops. To cast is to owe. To refuse is to vanish. The Veil watches all.
Nyxa Reddane was meant to disappear. A child hidden on the edge of the spiral, raised by a woman who taught her silence and shadow, she was never meant to bleed where anyone could see. But magic does not forget its own.
When the Red Church comes to collect, Nyxa doesn’t run.
She answers.
Branded heretic. Named Hollowborn. Feared by the very system that seeks to own her, Nyxa carves a path through fear, myth, and memory. From the smoldering ruins of villages to the stone-choked corridors of the Sanctum itself, she begins to unpick the Church’s tangled truth—thread by bloodstained thread.
But power has a price. And the deeper she treads into legend, the more the world begins to shift around her. Names unwrite themselves. Secrets surface. Even the ancient Orders—thought lost or silent—begin to stir.
Some call her a saint. Others, a monster.
Nyxa knows better.
She is the Veinwitch.
She is the Unbinding.
And her name has been written in the Veil.
