Beyond the Veil

Veil of Origins

Magic has always belonged to someone else.

To the witches who command storms and forests.

To the vampires who rule the endless night.

To the werewolves whose howls shake ancient mountains.

For centuries, the four nations have existed in an uneasy peace, while the powerless Kingdom of Caeldor survives in the shadow of beings far greater than itself.

Elian Ashwood has accepted that he will never be anything more than ordinary.

A quiet archivist with an endless love of books, Elian spends his days delivering letters, preserving forgotten histories, and dreaming of places he will never be allowed to see. In a world where magic determines destiny, he was born with none.

Or so everyone believes.

When a mysterious message bearing the seal of the Witch Courts awakens something impossible within him, Elian is pulled into a centuries-old conspiracy buried beneath the history of every kingdom. Ancient bloodlines thought extinct, forgotten wars, dangerous alliances, and secrets powerful enough to destroy the fragile peace begin to surface.

Now hunted by vampires, sought by witches, protected by werewolves, and feared by the very people he once called home, Elian must uncover the truth of who he is before the world tears itself apart.

Because some legends were never meant to return.

And some powers were never meant to awaken.

In a world divided by magic, the most dangerous person may be the one who was never supposed to have any at all.
