Ashes Of The Veil

His breath hitched as my knee slid between his thighs, the heat of my body pressing him back against the table. I could feel the way his muscles tensed- frozen in that moment between resistance and surrender. His fingers twitched at his sides, as if unsure whether to push me away or pull me closer.

Kaida Moor hunts the dead.
Lucien Thorne drinks from the living.

Half-witch, half something far darker, Kaida spends her nights tracking spirits and dodging the very council that banished her years ago. She's chaotic, cursed and done playing nice with the supernatural elite.

But when an ancient Veil begins to tear, unleashing lost souls and forgotten gods into the mortal world, Kaida is forced into a dangerous alliance- with a vampire who makes her want to break every rule in her grimoire.

Lucien Thorne is powerful, immortal, and annoyingly smug. He's also one of the few who knows Kaida's past.

Tensions rise as Kaida and Lucien navigate haunted ruins, cursed bloodlines, and a bond neither of them asked for. She wants answers. He wants control.
Dark magic, deadly secrets, slow-burn heat. A touch of comedy and a very strong woman whose powers the gods tried to bury.
