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.
