She controls the twelve Olympic Knights, legions of Peerless Scarred, and Obsidians as innumerable as the stars. And those Obsidians are only the elite.

The Veil Saga is a romantasy series of forbidden love, betrayal, and resilience. Each book explores a world where kingdoms fall and shadows whisper, and where vows are more dangerous than swords. At the heart of every story: Aria and Kael, bound by duty, divided by secrets, and tested by the rebellion they ignite.
