✨ Veil of Shadow and Starlight - Book One of the Eightfold Realm Saga ✨
Eight Courts.
One forbidden power.
And a girl the prophecy swore would break them all.
Lyra Vale was supposed to be ordinary.
Hidden.
Safe.
But the night she unleashes a burst of magic strong enough to tear open the sky, every heir of the Eightfold Realm feels it-Shadow, Light, Storm, Frost, Flame, Earth, Spirit, and Time.
And they begin to hunt for the unknown girl whose power could save their world...
or end it.
Dragged into a world of ancient magic, dangerous courts, and heirs who all want something from her, Lyra quickly learns:
✨ Shadow seeks her. Caelum Nyxaris, dark, sharp, and drawn to her by a force older than fate itself.
✨ Light fears her. Aurelian Solbreak, golden prince whose loyalty is a weapon.
✨ Storm chases her. Zephyrine Stormrider, a winged warrior who refuses to lose.
✨ Frost breaks her. Kaelin Frostborne, whose truths cut colder than his power.
✨ Flame tests her. Rhaevos Emberblood, fire-forged and impossible to tame.
✨ Earth steadies her. Sylvanna Thornhart, the gentle anchor in a world of chaos.
✨ Spirit sees her. Seraphine Lyria, who knows what Lyra truly is.
✨ Time claims her. Kaelith Veyndar, whose visions say she is both his destiny... and his ruin.
But Lyra isn't what any of them expected.
And the Eightfold Realm isn't ready for what she is becoming.
A girl with the power of all Courts.
A threat older than prophecy.
A choice that will shatter kingdoms.
And as enemies rise, alliances fracture, and the heir of Shadow grows far too close, Lyra must decide:
Will she save the realm...
or remake it?
