Forty-two years ago…
The misuse of Orra — an ancient and untamed magic — shattered the land, calling the guardians from the sky and splitting one world into two.
Fire claimed one kingdom.
Ice sealed the other.
Between them rose the Veil — a sanctuary, a divide, a memory and a temptation.
Maelora, Heir of Celeste, has known the Veil as a place shared among the Orraborn, where the weight of crowns could be set aside. But what once offered refuge is changing. Loss lingers. Fear follows. She needs answers — and with every crossing, the Veil's truths close in.
Toren, Prince of Scaldren Rill, has spent his life contained by duty — a crown he never chose and expectations he has never challenged. As the Orra stirs, he must choose between obedience and betrayal, drawn to the edge of a forbidden love and a future he was never meant to claim.
As their paths converge, the lines between duty, desire, and destiny begin to blur — while something far older than kingdoms begins to rise in the shadows.
