THE VEIL OF ASH AND STARLIGHT

In the kingdom of Astrael, love is forbidden, and the laws of the gods are absolute. Starbound nobles wield light and prophecy, while Ashborn are cursed with shadow and decay, their existence a reminder of divine wrath. Seventeen-year-old Liora of House Caelum has never questioned the rules-until the stars brand her with the Sigil of Veilfall, a forbidden mark that proclaims her fate: to unmake the Veil itself.

Born in fire and shadow, Kael, an Ashborn runner, has survived a world that hunts his kind, mastering secrets and shadows to endure. When the threads of prophecy pull Liora and Kael together, they defy centuries of law and fear, standing against the gods' will itself.

A story of forbidden destiny, stolen freedom, and the first sparks of rebellion, The Law That Forbade Their Names is a dark, atmospheric tale where love is dangerous, power is deadly, and survival is the first act of defiance.
