In the heart of New York City, where towering skyscrapers cast long shadows and neon lights flicker like distant stars, a supernatural war brews. In Veil of Shadows: Chronicles of New York, follow the enigmatic journey of three extraordinary individuals-Emma, Thorne, and Claudia-as they emerge as the city's last line of defense against ancient malevolence.

When an arcane breach, the Veil of Shadows, tears the fabric between worlds, a tide of vengeful spirits and seductive temptations engulfs the city. Unbeknownst to the citizens, the cunning leader Vladimir harbors a dark secret: he is Dracula, the legendary vampire, orchestrating a sinister plan to plunge New York into eternal night.

Amidst haunted pasts and the lure of the abyss, the guardians face a moral crucible, confronting their own demons as they battle those that haunt the night. Their encounters with Nyx, an enigmatic figure representing the duality of shadows, challenge their beliefs, leading them to question not only the malevolence of their foes but also the possibility of redemption in the supernatural world.

Veil of Shadows is a chilling tale of unity, redemption, and the enduring struggle against darkness. As the guardians unravel cryptic clues, face seductive illusions, and encounter vengeful specters, they must navigate a treacherous path where the line between myth and reality blurs. Will they triumph over ancient evils and protect the city's unsuspecting inhabitants, or will the shadows claim them, plunging New York into eternal despair?

Prepare to be enthralled by a narrative that weaves together mystery, horror, and the supernatural, exploring the depths of human desires and the power of unity against the encroaching darkness. Veil of Shadows promises a haunting adventure, where the veil between the seen and the unseen is lifted, revealing a world where redemption is as elusive as the shadows themselves.

Samara, a young woman from London, visits Bran Castle in Romania during a Halloween night. Somehow, she's always felt drawn to the story of Vlad the Impaler, the historical character who allegedly inspired the writer, Bram Stoker, to write his Count Dracula. Annoyed by her noisy friends, she strolls behind her group when they enter the castle and thus gets approached by their tall dark and handsome guide. Samara can't fight the attraction she feels for him, even after he claims to be Vlad Dracul himself, obviously making fun of her...or? At the end of the tour, unable to resist her curiosity, she follows the guide through a dark corridor and time travels to another time, a late medieval world populated by very unusual vampires, where she had once belonged. The mysterious guide turns out to be her husband, none less than Vlad III, the Prince of Wallachia, the Impaler... Dracula. Samara's memories start to trickle back slowly, both good and bad. The man she loves so much that she feels overcome by her feelings for him is not exactly as he was when she left him before, when she... died. A lot of things have changed in her absence, in six hundred years. But she is changed too, having grown up in the 21st century this time around, she is not quite the same girl as when she lived in Vlad's castle, in the late medievals. Will the great love they feel for each other despite their long separation be strong enough to overcome all their differences? Will Samara and Vlad accept each other as they are now and fight for their love? Will they defend it in the dangerous world they live in, full of people, or better vampires, who would rather see them apart? In this place where nothing and no one is what they really seem to be at first sight? Cover: @WakeWriteWrath

In the bustling, modern metropolis of Valoria, magic flows beneath the surface, known only to a select few. For centuries, ancient families of magical bloodlines have controlled the city's fate, living among humans as powerful, secret societies. They have wealth, influence, and magic at their disposal. But what no one knows is that the source of their power comes from an ancient, forbidden ritual called the "Crimson Veil," which requires them to form unbreakable sexual bonds with those possessing rare magical traits. These bonds heighten their abilities and carry dangerous emotional and physical consequences, twisting love and desire into weapons. At the centre of this tangled web is Elena Ravenwood, a brilliant and ambitious journalist with no idea that she is the last of a forgotten bloodline-one that was destroyed in a bloody purge by the ruling magical families. When she stumbles upon a mysterious underground gathering, Elena's latent powers are awakened, and she quickly becomes the target of three powerful men, each from rival families: Meanwhile, a deadly prophecy comes to light: one that foretells that Elena, once fully awakened, will become the key to either restoring balance to the magical world or destroying it entirely. Her growing power ignites intense rivalries, and the line between love and hate blurs as she discovers that betrayal, passion, and magic are inextricably linked.
