Tasha Juniper was never meant to be a sister, she was forged to be a shield. A protector for her frail younger brother, Tobias, in a family that worshiped weakness as something sacred. But TJ was no saint. She was the thorn that drew blood, the shadow that haunted anyone who dared to touch what was hers. She bullied him, yes, but heaven help the world if anyone else tried.
To her family, she was the cursed blade they could not control. To everyone else, the monster they feared but could not ignore. And when she meets the black sheep who lives unchained from duty, TJ begins to question whether blood is protection, or a veil of chains meant to smother her soul.
In a world where loyalty feels like prison, she must decide, remain the shield that destroys her... or shatter the Bloodveil.
