Veil of Ash and Aether

By Stewart Kennedy

When blood binds what should never be bound, destiny awakens.

Elara Wynne is no ordinary alchemist. Struggling to preserve her late father's apothecary, she hides a dangerous secret-her blood can still volatile magic, bending alchemy and fae essence alike. But when the Veil between realms begins to shudder, her gift becomes a beacon, drawing the eyes of those who would use her... or destroy her.

Dragged into the fae realm by Kaelen Duskbane-an infuriatingly enigmatic warrior bound by shadows-Elara is thrust into a world of treacherous beauty. The Umbral Court is alive with secrets, its nobles hungry for power, and its fractured Crown bleeding chaos into both realms. To survive, Elara must master the art of bargains, learn the perilous dance of glamour and truth, and decide whether Kaelen is her captor, protector, or something far more dangerous.

But, the deeper she delves into her heritage, the more perilous her choices become. Her bloodline hides truths long buried in ash and whispers, and every step draws her closer to a fate that could mend the worlds-or unmake them entirely.

In a realm where every word binds and every desire costs, Elara must decide: will she forge her own destiny in flame and silver, or become a pawn in a war older than the stars?

Veil of Ash and Aether is a spellbinding romantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Sylvia Mercedes, and Sylvia Day-where alchemy meets fae magic, enemies become lovers, and a mortal girl discovers that sometimes the most dangerous power... is her own.
