Stories are starlight — each one a fragment of who we are.

I’m Steven D Jackson, a veteran, father, and storyteller bringing to life The Awakening of the Veil — a science-fantasy odyssey of fallen empires and enduring souls.

From the haunted corridors of the Obsidian Dream to the rise of forgotten houses, my world is built on echoes of loss, hope, and destiny.

Thank you for joining me on this journey beyond the stars. The first book is only the beginning.

The Awakening of the Veil is a science-fantasy saga of shattered empires and haunted legacies.

Once, the Zelususn Empire ruled the stars — fourteen noble houses bound by psionic mastery and the energy known as the Veil. But power breeds corruption, and the empire’s collapse left the galaxy fractured and adrift.

Centuries later, fragments of that forgotten lineage stir again. Survivors, scavengers, and seekers uncover truths buried in myth — and the Veil itself begins to awaken.

Across starships and ruined worlds, destinies intertwine as humanity’s last dream faces the silence between stars.

This is the story of what remains after the fall.
