Veilborn

She built a life from discipline, steel, and dance. But someone made sure she wouldn't remember the truth about who she is.

Adalee knows exactly who she is-or at least she thought she did.

Dancer. Friend. Daughter.

After delivering the performance of her life, Adalee's future finally seems within reach. She has friends who have become family, a relationship years in the making, and a life she fought hard to build.

Then a stranger arrives carrying a secret that changes everything.

Suddenly, everything Adalee thought she knew about herself, her family, and the life she had built is thrown into question. Memories don't fit. The people she trusts seem to know more about her past than she does. And the family she thought she understood is tied to a lost homeland-and a history someone went to extraordinary lengths to make her forget.

To uncover the truth, Adalee must leave the only life she remembers and cross into the blighted territory of the witches, where dangerous magic and long-buried secrets await. Beyond it lies a mysterious king, a homeland her family intends to help reclaim, and answers that may finally explain why so much of Adalee's past has been kept from her.

But the deeper she travels, the less certain she becomes of everything she once believed.

Magic awakens. Loyalties fracture. An oracle's cryptic words raise more questions than answers. Old bonds are tested, new ones are forged, and trust comes from places Adalee never expected. And as pieces of her past begin to surface, she begins to suspect that even the truth she's finally been given is only part of the story.

Far from the life she once knew, Adalee will have to master the power awakening inside her, decide who deserves her trust, and confront the question no one around her seems willing to answer:

Why was the truth about her worth hiding in the first place?

Because some secrets were buried to protect her.

Others were buried because of what might happen if she ever remembered.

Veilborn is the first book in The Thirteenth Chronicle, a character-driven romantic epic fantasy filled with magic, found family, dangerous secrets, political intrigue, slow-burning romance, and a young woman discovering that learning who you are is not the same as deciding who you will become.

And as every answer changes the meaning of what came before, the truth may have been hiding in plain sight all along.
