Althea Sombra was raised to be controlled. Her magic is powerful. Her family is feared. Her future has already been decided by rules older than she is. She knows how to obey, how to endure, how to survive without asking for more. She was never taught how to want. When Althea enters a world of elite power, ancient traditions, and carefully buried secrets, she expects politics. Rivalries. Quiet threats wrapped in polite smiles. She does not expect connection. What begins as tension turns dangerous when emotions start shaping magic, and choices begin to fracture everything Althea was trained to protect. The deeper she falls, the more her power evolves-and the more attention she draws from forces that were never meant to wake. Love is not safe. Power is not neutral. And some bonds are strong enough to anger gods. A Veil of Ash and Glass is a dark romantasy filled with: Slow-burn, high-tension romance Forbidden attraction and impossible choices A powerful heroine with evolving magic Family secrets, ancient rules, and consequences that hurt Love that refuses to stay quiet This is not a story about choosing the easy path. It's about what happens when love becomes the thing that changes everything. I will be posting this story on RR
