The Cathedral of Burning Rain

Gothic Sci-Fi Thriller • Dystopian Mystery • Cosmic Horror • Neo-Noir

Short Description:

In the dying city of Oakhaven, orange fire rains from the sky while time itself begins to slow.

Investigative journalist Valeria Morningside has spent years documenting the city’s decay with cold detachment—until a burning ember touches her skin and leaves behind not pain, but impossible cold. As mechanical clocks fall out of sync, entire districts slip into unnatural stillness, and whispers spread of people who can no longer hear their own hearts beating, Valeria uncovers evidence that the catastrophe began decades earlier beneath the radiant towers of the Cathedral of Souls.

Drawn into a labyrinth of hidden archives, forbidden records, and temporal anomalies, she discovers that the cathedral may not be saving the city from collapse—but anchoring it to something far worse.

As the burning rain falls heavier with each passing night, Valeria must uncover the truth before Oakhaven freezes forever in the final seconds of a dying world.
