Veil of Desires

By Savannah Schmidt

A king's deadly secret. A daughter's dangerous rebellion. A love that could destroy them both.

In 1706, London is a city of shadows and secrets, where the reverend's daughter, Victoria Clark, dreams of freedom from the oppressive weight of duty. While her family schemes to marry her off for political gain, Victoria is drawn to Elias Turner, the mysterious, reclusive new king who has reopened the castle gates after forty years. Their fateful encounter in the castle's hidden library sparks a connection that will change both their lives forever.

Unknown to Victoria, Elias hides a darker truth-he is a vampire, seeking a queen to rule beside him. As their bond deepens, Victoria becomes increasingly aware of the injustices her father's rule has brought: false accusations, nightly hunts, and a city gripped by fear. When a violent attack reveals Elias's supernatural nature, Victoria is forced to confront her deepest convictions and the dangerous allure of the man who saved her life.

With rebellion brewing and Elias and Victoria caught in a whirlwind of betrayal and forbidden passion, their love defies societal norms, even as her father declares war on Elias. As chaos engulfs the city, Victoria must choose between loyalty to her family and her love for the vampire.

Dark, romantic, and intoxicating, Veil of Desires is a gothic fantasy where faith and temptation collide, and surrendering to passion may be the most dangerous choice of all.
