A chance encounter leads her somewhere she never knew existed.As the familiar begins to shift around her, she finds herself caught between holding on to the life she’s comfortable with and discovering what might be waiting just beyond its edges.Hartwick has always had a little magic at Christmas.
The Veiled Crown Series
About the book
In Dravaris, those who reach adulthood without bonding are sent to Amorin.Chosen by the Elders and stripped of any choice, the unbonded must survive the Crucible, where failure means death and success offers the chance to bond with a wolf and finally wield the magic they have spent their lives without. For Zerra, as high fae, there is no future without a bond. But the longer she remains in Amorin, the more she begins to question everything she has ever been taught.The only person willing to offer those answers is Marrock—a male who knows far more about Amorin than he should. But following him means risking everything Zerra has ever believed, and trusting someone she may never be able to forgive.As the truth buried beneath Amorin begins to surface, Zerra finds herself caught between loyalty, rebellion, and secrets powerful enough to change the realm forever.Cloaked in Silence is the first book in The Veiled Crown Series, blending mystery, deadly trials, slow-burn romance, and found family in a world where every choice has a cost and the truth is more dangerous than magic itself.
