Shadows of the Veil

Kael Riven has spent his life hiding the Silent Veil-a rare, unstable magic that marks him as dangerous. When he's accepted into Eclipse Spire Academy, he hopes to finally blend in, stay quiet, and keep his curse under control.
But the moment he arrives, everything goes wrong.
His shadows flare.
The Inquisitors take notice.
And his magic reacts to someone it shouldn't.
Soren Emberfall-Solara's golden prodigy, heir to a powerful family, and the last person Kael should get close to.
When their powers collide, light and shadow fuse into something ancient and forbidden: Eclipse Magic. A magic that hasn't been seen since the last war. A magic the kingdom fears.
As Kael struggles to control the darkness inside him, Soren becomes the only one who can steady him. But their growing bond is illegal, dangerous, and tied to a prophecy that could ignite a revolution.
Enemies rise. Secrets unravel.
And the closer they get, the more the world begins to change.
Shadow and flame were never meant to meet-
but together, they could burn the kingdom to the ground.
