This isn't a fairytale. It's fire and blood. Ruin. Survival.
When the mountain burned it did not simply devour a forest: it scorched the only sanctuaries of the now orphaned children Finn and Serah.
Sefira's Gloom is a dark fantasy novel that delves into the horrifying experiences and sufferings of Finn and Serah as their divergent paths through enslavement, corruption, addiction, and avarice, force them to see a world they never imagined in their worst nightmares actually existed, and discover a truth to what lies beneath the mountain that was once their home.
No hard magic. No chosen ones without scars. No political muddling. Just a brutal and gritty world where survival is contingent on unbreakable resilience.
