Faelana is a faerie noblewoman with excellent cheekbones, a terrible fiancé and a wedding date looming like a guillotine.
Garwye is a human with two sick sisters, a talent for vanishing at the worst possible moments and absolutely no desire to get involved with faerie politics-until he has no choice.
When their problems collide, the solution is... each other. (Unfortunate, but true.)
To rescue Garwye's sisters and save Faelana from a loveless marriage to the smirking faerie prince who's already rewriting her future, they'll have to cross into a glittering, cut-throat world where bargains bite, etiquette kills and everyone's pretending they're not terrified. Add in a prophecy that's either ancient wisdom or complete nonsense, murderous vampires with a taste for chaos, and a growing attraction neither of them has time for, and you've got the sort of quest that ends in either triumph... or an extremely dramatic obituary.
Because in Virellen, love is leverage. Magic has a price. And happy endings don't come without a fight.
A Veil of Starlight and Shadows is a laugh-out-loud romantasy adventure packed with sharp banter, dangerous faerie intrigue, found-family chaos and just enough swoon to distract you right before everything goes wrong.
