A forbidden love. A sacred vow. A destiny too powerful to ignore.
In the tranquil mountains of ancient Korea, where temple bells echo against the silence of duty, a beautiful noblewoman named Lady Seori seeks refuge from a royal life bound by obligation and control. There, within the hallowed temple walls, she meets Haejin-a young, devoted monk whose serene world is shattered the moment their eyes meet.
Drawn together by fate and kept apart by the rules of their world, Seori and Haejin begin a secret, slow-burning romance that threatens to destroy everything they've ever known. As whispers turn into touches, and touches ignite into passion, the two must navigate dangerous political schemes, sacred vows, and a relentless prince determined to reclaim what he believes is rightfully his.
But some loves are too powerful to bury-even under vows, tradition, and fear.
Veiled Desires is a heart-wrenching, emotionally rich Korean historical romance that explores the intoxicating tension of forbidden love, the devastating cost of sacrifice, and the kind of connection that transcends duty, rank, and even time itself.
