The cursed veil

In a world where power is determined by the stars, Alina Vern was born under a forgotten, powerless constellation-cast aside and abandoned by her family. When her dormant magic awakens at a prestigious academy, she is seen as a charity case, a threat to the celestial order that governs society. But what no one knows is that Alina's magic is not bound to a star--it's something older, more dangerous, and capable of rewriting fate itself.
Kael Draeven, a prince destined for greatness, is raised to believe in the divine superiority of his royal bloodline. Cold, ruthless, and trained to conquer any weakness, he despises Alina's perceived frailty. Tasked with keeping a close eye on her, Kael is determined to eliminate the threat she poses. But the deeper he digs into her past, the more he questions everything he's been taught. As Alina's power grows, so does the unraveling of a dangerous secret tied to her bloodline-and the prince's family, who may have been responsible for its destruction centuries ago. Torn between lovalty and his growing feelings for Alina, Kayle must choose between duty and desire. But in a kingdom built on lies, trust is a luxury neither of them can afford.
In a world where magic is a weapon, love may be the greatest risk of all.
