Part of The Veritas Legacy
First published 2026
A fragment of stolen power returns to her, but the magic that flows through her veins has transformed into something she never wanted. She is a Veil Walker, and Nightsbridge Academy pulses with malevolent energy that recognizes her name. The spirit world tears at her consciousness while she pursues the Libra Veritas. Advanced classes and active hunt duty place her under Sterling Damascus, the one person she cannot trust. Students vanish from the academy halls. Creatures grow stronger and more vicious. A special tincture strips away all pretense to expose the monster lurking inside every person. She tastes revenge on her tongue while brutal hunts test her limits. Power demands payment. Desire burns with consequences. Loyalty cuts both ways. The academy teaches harsh lessons about survival, but now something hunts the hunters. Magic remembers every slight and every use. Love becomes a weapon that can destroy her.
