Obsidian has always been different.
Abandoned as a child. Raised in silence. A streak of white in her hair and a quiet sense that people's smiles never quite matched their words.
On the eve of her eighteenth birthday, a lie splits open the world.
At a youth conference she never meant to attend, a powerful speaker stumbles mid-sentence - his lip torn open, blood spilling from a truth he never intended to share. And Obsidian? She sees it. She feels it. And she's not the only one watching.
In the shadows of her reflection stands a woman-half shrouded in darkness, half cloaked in light. A myth. A curse. A name whispered across centuries:
The Veilwalker.
As Obsidian unravels a legacy written in scars and silence, she discovers a terrifying truth:
> Lies leave marks.
And some lies are loud enough to burn.
Now hunted by powerful forces and haunted by a history she was never meant to inherit, Obsidian must decide -
Will she hide from the truth?
Or become the one who reveals it?
---
Perfect for fans of Legendborn, The Raven Cycle, and Shadow and Bone, The Veilwalker is a dark, empowering fantasy debut that explores legacy, truth, and the scars we carry - both seen and unseen

War In Embers - A Lycans Story
They swung open the cage door, cattle prods at full power, humming with electricity. The man lazily lifted his hands in surrender. "Now, now." He said softly. His voice was like velvet. "No need. I'll do as you please." The man in the cage said, his eyes straying to her. "You know what it is we want beastling." The man with the pale eyes said. The caged man shot him a glance, something dancing just below the surface of his calm, relaxed demeanor. The air in the room was electric. The man locked eyes with her, sending a shiver through her whole body. She felt like a rabbit in the jaws of a wolf- struggling, but doomed. Then, his eyes still on hers, he began to change. --- When Theophania Pennrose arrives in Ilaross, a tiny town tucked away in the recesses of the Alaskan wilderness, she is under the impression that she's simply there to visit her dear younger brother Dimetreaus.

The Villainess Won't Play
Selena Ashford's life was nothing but a monotonous shell-until one fateful morning, she wakes up as Seraphina Ashenveil, the villainess of the very fantasy romance she despises: Whispers of Hearts. Known for its twisted plots and the inevitable death of its villainess, Selena's new life is a nightmare. Ugh.. Why this stupid book!? As Seraphina, she is surrounded by two figures who mark her doom: her ruthless father, Aldric Ashenveil, and the male lead, Caius Valerian, whose cold indifference promises only betrayal. But fate throws her an unexpected twist-she crosses paths with Killian Valmond, the second male lead, a fiercely loyal and annoyingly arrogant knight who dies in a most pathetic yet stupid way for the female lead. Tsk, Cliché. But he is not leaving her side. He sticks with her like she's something which either needs to be guarded or protected. She can't tell which. Stupid Man. Seeking refuge, Seraphina hides in a small village, where the kind-hearted locals accept her without asking questions. Despite her growing frustrations with Killian's persistent presence, she begins to question everything she thought she knew about her new reality. Something is off-no one seems to be playing by the rules of the story, and the characters seem eerily alive, drifting away from their roles as if the book itself was a mere myth. Or Maybe.. Is it? Slowly, Selena uncovers unsettling truths that suggest her life, the worlds, everything might be a lie. As the lines between fiction and reality blur, Seraphina must decide if she can carve her own path to survival or if she's destined for a fate far worse than the book ever predicted.Complete
