Whispers beyond the Veil
Aurora Lane was supposed to be ordinary. Just a high school senior trying to survive final exams, her sketchbook full of strange castles and eyes that don’t belong to this world. But when a dream pulls her too deep, and a mysterious book triggers something buried in her blood, Aurora wakes to find herself in a place no mortal should ever reach — Aetherwyn Academy, a school hidden beyond the Veil where bloodlines shape destiny and magic is a legacy, not a gift.
But Aurora has no crest.
No sigil.
And according to the sacred records of the realm — no bloodline at all.
Her arrival shakes the foundation of the academy. Students whisper. Teachers watch. The Veil, an ancient force that should only respond to those with rightful lineage, opens for her. And worse — it begins to react around her.
Drawn to the cold, enigmatic Atlas Thorne — a boy with secrets buried behind silver eyes — and hunted by the dangerously charming Ethan Valesh, an emotion-crafter whose magic can touch everyone but her, Aurora finds herself entangled in a rivalry that isn’t just romantic — it’s prophetic.
As forbidden trials unfold between rival magical schools, relics react to her presence, and old prophecies stir in the dark, Aurora must navigate betrayal, obsession, and power she doesn’t yet understand. Her bloodline isn’t just unknown.
It was erased.
For a reason.
And some believe her return means the end of the Veil itself.
