Veilwalker: Where Shadows Rise is a darkly romantic epic fantasy about soulmates torn across lifetimes, tyrants who rule through fire, and a girl who can see the dead. When Nekyria, an orphaned smuggler from the crumbling cliffside city of Shalim, begins seeing ghosts, she discovers her rare ability may be the key to saving her missing brother-and possibly the entire kingdom of Baltia.
Teaming up with a fire-forged ghost, a mysterious soldier haunted by her past, and a grinning spirit named Charlie, Nekyria is swept into a war between rebel forces and a queen who burns empires to ash.
But among her unlikely allies is Ares, a warrior from a rival kingdom who harbors a deep hatred for Baltia-and for her. Their connection is undeniable, fated, and dangerous. As their destinies entwine and ghostly secrets unravel, Nekyria must confront who she truly is, what she's capable of, and how far she's willing to go to save those she loves.
