The Veil Between

There are worlds that live beside our own.
Not above in the stars, not buried beneath the earth, but folded against reality like pages pressed together. Most people never notice. They live their lives with eyes half-shut, content with what they're given, never reaching for what lies just beyond.
But some of us are born restless. Some of us hear echoes where others hear silence. Some of us feel the pull of something we can't name.
Kaelen was one of those people.
She thought her hunger for more was only daydreams. She thought the stories in her books were only fiction. She thought her life was destined to be small, invisible, ordinary.
She was wrong.
Because when the veil between worlds trembles, it does not choose kings or warriors to step through. It chooses the ones who ache for belonging. The ones who have nothing left to lose.
And Kaelen had been waiting her whole life.
