Fire Beneath the Veiled Moon

In the kingdom of Vethros, magic is a crime—and fire is a death sentence. Seraphel Thornwood has survived twenty-three years by doing the impossible: hiding the fire burning in her blood. A seamstress in the royal palace, she lives quietly beneath the Veil, a brutal system that hunts and executes those born with forbidden magic. Every Veiled Moon threatens to expose her secret, but fear and discipline have kept her alive. Until one mistake shatters everything. When Seraphel's power erupts before the most dangerous man in the kingdom—the Lord Commander tasked with hunting her kind—death seems inevitable. Instead, she is spared. Watched. Marked. As secrets unravel, Seraphel discovers her fire is no accident. It is legacy. Bloodline. Rebellion waiting to ignite. Caught between a ruthless noble court, an underground resistance, and a man sworn to destroy everything she is, Seraphel must decide whether survival is enough—or whether some fires are meant to burn the world down. Fire Beneath the Veiled Moon is a dark romantasy of hidden power, forbidden desire, and a slow-burning rebellion where love and betrayal are equally lethal.
