VEIL OF SHADOWSUpdated at Jan 2, 2026, 00:21
The commonplace masks the remarkable in the neon-lit metropolis of Aramore. There is a world that people can't see underneath the sound of traffic and the light of skyscrapers. It is a place of old power, blood-bound secrets, and monsters that wander in the dark. Evelyn Kael believed she had gotten over the anguish of her past, the treachery that broke her heart, and the dreams that called her name. But as her paintings come to life and odd symbols appear on her skin, she knows her world is falling apart. The guy she loved and lost comes back, but he is shrouded in mystery and darkness. Lucien Vale, a fallen Seraph who was exiled forever and felt guilty, promised never to see her again. But fate, brutal and unyielding, brings them back together. Evelyn learns that she is the last of the Veilbloods, a family that has been cursed to protect the border between light and darkness. This happens as the delicate barrier between the human world and the hidden realm starts to break. Love has betrayed her, shadows are hunting her, and memories that aren't hers are haunting her. She has to choose whether to trust the person who hurt her or kill him before he hurts her again. But love has never been so hazardous. As hidden prophecies awaken and forbidden magic stirs, Evelyn and Lucien are forced to confront the one truth that might save or destroy them both: Sometimes the only way to heal is to burn.
