The Shattered Veil

The Shattered Veilby Lyna Calen

When Vyrith’s sky fractures with silver cracks, a cursed city begins to unravel. Beneath its towering spires, the Aethercore—a crystal prison—holds an ancient entity of creation and destruction, its hum both power and peril.

Lira Varn, a disgraced scribe accused of her mentor’s murder, carries a forbidden mirror-shard that whispers visions of fractured realities. Haunted by memories not her own, she is hunted by a corrupt council and a cult devoted to the imprisoned Entity.

With Kael, a guilt-ridden alchemist, and Sylis, a blind seer bound to the Ethereal Plane, Lira uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to shatter Vyrith itself. To stop the coming cataclysm, she must either bind the Entity—or free it—knowing the price will be her memories, her identity, and perhaps her soul.

In a world of mirror magic and bending truths, The Shattered Veil weaves a gothic fantasy-mystery of sacrifice, identity, and hidden power.

Perfect for readers who love the surreal intrigue of The City & The City and the haunting atmosphere of Mexican Gothic, this tale lingers like a reflection you can’t escape.
