The sky broke centuries ago, and the world has never truly healed. When the Veil separating the realms shattered during the Sundering, it left behind a wound known as the Veilscar. Beyond its borders, corruption twists the land and warps magic into something feared as much as it is revered. Though kingdoms endure beneath the watch of angels and ancient faith, the fragile peace they have built is beginning to crack. Seraphina has spent her life believing the Veil must be protected at any cost. Raised to serve the Crown and obey the truths she was taught, she has never questioned her purpose. Until a mission into the scarlands changes everything. After surviving an encounter that should have killed her, Seraphina begins to experience impossible visions and awaken powers tied to the very force she has spent her life fearing. As long-buried secrets rise to the surface, she finds herself caught between Prince Leo, the future king she has sworn to follow, and Kael, a mysterious stranger who seems to know more about her than she does herself. The deeper Seraphina searches for answers, the more she uncovers a history built on lies. Ancient sanctuaries are awakening. Forgotten powers are stirring. And something beyond the Veilscar has been waiting for her. Because the truth about the Sundering could reshape everything the realms believe about their history, their faith, and their future. And before it is over, Seraphina may have to decide whether the world is worth saving as it is-or whether it was always meant to become something new.
