A knight bound by faith. A sorceress bound by secrets. Together, they must infiltrate a deadly fae court and confront a soul-stealing prince—before desire destroys them both.
The Witcher meets Serpent and Dove, Mistborn meets Crimson Peak, The Veil and the Vow is dark fantasy novel with forbidden romance, soul-bound magic, corrupt institutions, and elven political intrigue.
In the shadowed halls of the Storm Citadel, Sir Caelum Dorne has spent a decade forging himself into the Order's purest weapon—a knight whose faith is as unyielding as steel, whose vows are his only shield against the world's corruption.
But when a monstrous blight rises in the northern Fae Wilds, Caelum is forced into an unholy alliance with Lirael Vaunt, a sorceress whose very existence defies everything he has sworn to destroy. Begrudgingly linked to one another by order of the Citadel, they must defeat this evil before her sister is consumed by the machinations of the rogue prince.
Bound by a ritual that links their souls, Caelum and Lirael are thrust into a world of treacherous courts, soul-stealing magic, and forbidden desire. As they journey through haunted forests and decadent palaces, every step tests the limits of Caelum's faith and the depths of Lirael's secrets.
The enemy is not only the cruel Prince Eryndor, whose ambitions threaten to unravel the Veil between worlds, but the growing fire between knight and witch—a passion as dangerous as any blade. In The Veil and the Vow, loyalty and love collide in a battle for the soul of a kingdom.
Will Caelum cling to the purity that has defined him, or surrender to the chaos that could save them both? The fate of magic, and of their own hearts, hangs in the balance.
