The contract seemed straightforward: investigate the abandoned mine, find the missing workers, give the families closure. Monster hunter Julian has handled worse. But the thing living in those tunnels isn't just hungry. It's territorial, intelligent, and carries the scars of a human past. When Julian discovers the creature's true identity, he's faced with a question that has no right answer. A Choice of Survival is a standalone dark fantasy novella introducing Julian Nukem, one of the core characters from The Veilguard Chronicles series. It explores the cost of mercy and the lies we tell to protect people we'll never meet again. Perfect for readers who love The Witcher's moral complexity and atmospheric monster hunting. Your first taste of The Veilguard Chronicles: where victory is never clean, and every choice leaves scars.
