Veilbound

When Sky, a sharp-tongued college student with a hazy past, rescues a mysterious hamster from the side of the road, he has no idea he’s bringing home a cursed prince—one reborn from flame, blood, and betrayal. Sam, a brooding yet magnetic shapeshifter, awakens in Sky’s room with no memory of how he got there. But his instincts are clear: protect Sky at all costs. Because Sky is more than he seems. He is the soul-anchor of the Veil, the ancient magical barrier that keeps two worlds from colliding. And someone—or something—is trying to break it. With their bond intensifying, ancient enemies reawakening, and the Hollow Flame rising, Sky and Sam must uncover the secrets of their past lives, face the people who betrayed them, and choose between love and the end of the world. Because if Sky dies, the Veil shatters. And if they fall in love? It might shatter anyway.
