Navira Dray has spent her life in silence, beaten down by an abusive adoptive family who made her believe she was nothing. But on her seventeenth birthday, a violent surge of energy erupts from within her, awakening powers she can't control and memories she doesn't understand.
At school, she's drawn to her mysterious home room teacher, Taren Volkov, whose attention feels both dangerous and familiar. When she discovers that he belongs to a secret society sworn to protect her kind, she's thrust into a hidden world of ancient magic, rival factions, and a prophecy that names her as the one who will either bring balance - or destruction.
As her powers grow, so does the darkness within her. The line between love and manipulation, destiny and free will, begins to blur. When betrayal strikes from all sides, she must decide whether to embrace the darkness of her heritage or rewrite the prophecy in her own name.
The Ancestral Veins is a young adult dark fantasy novel exploring trauma, identity, forbidden love, and the power of choice in a world built on secrets.

Veil of Control
Vesper has lived her life in the shadows, hiding a secret that could condemn her to chains- or worse. Born with forbidden telekinetic power, she knows what happens to those with gifts like hers: they vanish into the King's grasp, dragged from their homes and never seen again. Some say they're executed. Others whisper of hidden prisons beneath the palace. Vesper intends to find out. Disguised as a servant, she slips into the heart of the royal court, determined to uncover where the missing are taken and how she can help them. But the palace is a labyrinth of rivalries, lies, and hungry eyes, each more dangerous than the last. Prince Euris, the scholar with a kind smile and quiet defiance, draws her closer with a gentleness she hasn't known in years. With him, she begins to feel like more than just a survivor. But Euris is fighting battles of his own-and trusting him could tangle her heart in a war she can't afford to lose. And then there is Caen, the King's shadow and rumored telepath. His gaze strips her bare, his presence a weight pressing on her mind. Every encounter is a duel: his relentless probing against her fragile shields. Terrifying, magnetic, he knows she has secrets-and he won't stop until he unravels them. As war brews beyond the palace walls and loyalties fracture within them, Vesper finds herself caught between two powerful men, between desire and deception, between survival and sacrifice. But one truth grows sharper with every passing day: if she isn't careful, the palace will consume her, body and soul. And if Caen learns what she truly is, there will be no hiding at all.
