The Veilbound Heart

When Elara stumbles upon a cursed stranger beneath an ancient oak, she doesn't just awaken forbidden magic-she tears open a rift between realms. Shadows pour through, the fae Court takes notice, and her bloodline binds her to Kaelen, a golden-eyed warrior with a past as dangerous as the secrets he keeps.

Bound by oath and fate, Elara and Kaelen are thrust into a world of masks, lies, and deadly bargains. To survive, they must endure the Court's cruel trials:

The Masquerade of Thorns, where every truth is a weapon.

The Trial of Shadows, where fear itself becomes the enemy.

Red Step, where blood on an altar can chain a soul forever.

And the final rift, where fire and water wage war, demanding a sacrifice neither is willing to make.

The Regent demands obedience. The Court demands blood. But Elara demands choice-and finds herself standing on the edge of love and ruin. With Kaelen at her side, her courage may heal the veil between worlds... or tear both realms apart.

Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Carissa Broadbent, The Veilbound Heart is a sweeping romantasy of forbidden magic, slow-burn passion, and the courage to build a bridge where the world insists on walls.
