The Legend Of The Veil

Deceived by the Veil

Althea stood at the doorway of the bridal suite, her heart heavy with a weight she couldn't shake. The dress lay on the bed, pristine and untouched, a cruel reminder of everything she had lost. It wasn't supposed to be her walking down the aisle, pledging herself to a man she barely knew. But here she was, forced to step into her sister's place. Her sister's choice to leave had devastated her. She had rejected a life that demanded sacrifice and duty, choosing freedom over family. And Althea, for all her anger and confusion, was left with no choice but to save the family's reputation. She had to wear the dress, say the vows, and marry a man she didn't love. Her fingers trembled as she adjusted the veil, staring at her reflection. She looked perfect-beautiful, poised-but she didn't feel that way. She felt like a shadow, a replacement for the woman who should've been here. The weight of the gown suffocated her as she prepared to step into a life that wasn't hers to claim. She wasn't ready for this. She wasn't ready to marry him. But with every step she took toward the chapel, the reality set in. There was no turning back. And there, at the altar, stood Elijah. His eyes locked on hers as she approached, his gaze intense, unreadable. A faint smile curved his lips, one she couldn't quite decipher, but there was something in it that made her blood run cold. Satisfaction. He looked at her as if she were an object, something to be claimed. With each step, his smile deepened, pleased with what was walking toward him. He wasn't looking at her as a woman to be loved. He was looking at her as a prize, something that had finally fallen into his grasp. Althea's throat tightened. She couldn't turn back now, not with everyone watching. As she reached the altar, she realized the vows she was about to speak weren't hers to make. They had been written for her sister, and now she would speak them, to a man who had claimed her sister's life and was now claiming hers by default.

The Veil of Cindrelle

In the city of Cindrelle, magic is everything. It flows through the cobblestones, whispers in the wind, and grants power to those who are chosen. For most, the Spark is a birthright, a gift that shapes their destiny. But for Caelum Wrenwick, the Spark never came. Born without it, he is condemned to a life on the edge of society, shunned by those who can wield magic and haunted by the looming threat of the Veil. The Veil is the city’s greatest secret, a misty prison for those who fail to manifest their Spark. It is a place of exile—a one-way passage where people vanish, never to return. To Caelum, it has always been a symbol of failure, a dark fate that awaits him when he turns seventeen and still has no magic to call his own. But when a strange pull leads him to a forgotten, decaying district, he discovers a door long-hidden—and with it, a power that will change everything. Inside, Caelum unlocks a force far older and far more dangerous than he ever imagined: a chaotic, raw magic that ties him to something darker than his world has ever known. The Veil is not a prison, but a door—and through it lies a truth that could destroy or save them all. But the price of understanding the Veil is steep. It will change him, shape him into something new—and perhaps something unrecognizable. As the city trembles on the brink of disaster, Caelum must decide if he will embrace his newfound power or risk losing himself to the storm that rages within the Veil. To save Cindrelle, he must confront the very heart of its magic—and the dark secrets that have been buried for centuries. In a world where the lines between light and shadow blur, where power can both save and destroy, Caelum’s journey will challenge everything he thought he knew about himself, his city, and the very nature of magic. The Veil is waiting.
