Debut Novel
A Novel
Marcus has trusted the same guide for most of his life. As his life fractures, the lessons meant to awaken him instead hollow him out.
This is not a story of rescue. It is a story of remembering.
"You were promised safety, but safety is the first lie."
"Trauma begets trauma. We pass it on like inheritance, dressed up as love."
— The Veil of Ashes
The Author
Erik W. Krogstad writes fiction concerned with the interior lives people rarely speak about. His work explores suffering not as punishment, but as a threshold.
He does not teach. He writes.
"The first time Marcus saw the devil, he was seven years old, and the devil was smiling."
