My grandmother held the cage for thirty-seven years.
It killed her... now it's mine.
I sealed the breach in the Veil and they made me kneel for it. Daily reports. A Council magistrate with a leather portfolio and a verdict already written. The thing in the deep stone beneath Thornveil knows my name now-and it has decided I am the most interesting Soulbinder it has touched in three hundred years.
The binding my grandmother kept alone is failing in real time. The dead are whispering across continents. The Council of Bone wants me caged. And the four morally gray necromancers assigned to contain me are no longer pretending they want to:
Beckett Crane-my first soulbound bond, the bone-magic heir whose hands are scarred from years of his own power, the only place at this academy where I can breathe.
Corvin Blackthorn-his sentient shadow is being pulled south by the thing in the dark, starving on him, and I am the only one who can hold the leash.
Dorian Ashworth-the cold-eyed enemy who became something else in an Ossuary corridor, and whose silence is louder than any oath.
Ezra Quinn-the haunted Death Sight heir who has been drawing how I die for months. He still cannot look away.
My grandmother left me a sealed letter and an iron key. She left me a name carved deeper than the rest on a memorial wall in a crypt no living Blackwell has entered in three hundred years. She left me a warning I am only beginning to understand:
Forgive her. She held it longer than any of us.
Four walls. One cage. And something inside it that has been waiting centuries to be heard.
Veil Walker is the second book in the Thornveil Academy series-a spicy dark paranormal why choose romance set in a Gothic necromancy academy on the cliffs of Maine, with four possessive necromancer heirs, a morally gray bully romance dynamic that won't stay buried, a fearless badass FMC, an unraveling bloodline curse, and an ending that will wreck you. Reverse harem. Slow burn. Enemies to lovers. No MM. HEA by the end of the series. Ends on a cliffhanger.
