LOGINVeille’s stunning looks and dark sensuality are apparent to everyone, even from a young age. Born into an aristocratic estate alongside many other children, Veille has very little understanding of his parentage – or even of his purpose – within this opulent place, and all of its seedy clientele… That is, until the dark intentions behind his upbringing are revealed to him as he grows older, and there is little that he, or anyone else, can do to fight against it. Veille’s fortunes change upon his 18th birthday, however, when he takes advantage of a miraculous opportunity to escape from a dreadful fate, along with his two closest friends: a beauty of a woman who is several years beyond him, and a secretive but kind young man closer to his own age. Fleeing from the possessive and vengeful Madam Dro, the owner of the Estate, Veille and his friends must first learn to survive in a world that is totally unfamiliar to them… But soon the three become embroiled in a conflict the stakes of which are higher than even the ancestral Witches of Pulla’ul can fully understand. And Veille – thanks to his strange affinity with the Fae through an experience known only to a few – may just hold the key to undoing an unspeakable evil that is about to be unleashed upon the world. Enter the Greenling.

All faces turned to look at me abruptly, some looking alarmed; even Dornell’s eyes were wider than usual.I gave them all a gigantic smile, and I truly meant it.Elodie glided over to me with astounding speed. “Where have you been? I’ve been worried about you, what happened?”“Veille wasn’t back yet?” I heard Syrieze mumble to Torvis, who shrugged. I ignored them both.“I met with Severo! He told me so many things, like how he and Threwon actually want to help us escape. But that’s not all; he also said it will be a lot ha
“There are things going on within these walls that you don’t know about. I didn’t, either, and I’m probably still not even supposed to. But I’ve seen things, Veille – things I’ve only witnessed by living as long as I have and wandering where I’m not supposed to. Perhaps Madam Dro and the other administrators see no harm in one old, foolish man, and I aim to keep it that way. With any luck I’ll be able to take those things I’ve seen to my grave without it being any sooner for it. But there are some things you’ll need to know if you’re going to survive, you and all your young friends.”Severo’s hand began clenching my shoulder. It wasn’t a painful grip, not for me anyway, but still it surprised me with its strength. “Do you believe in sorcery, Veille? In magic? Well, you need to
“Severo!!!” I practically shouted. My mouth hung wide open. After nearly ten years without a word, standing there before me was the man I’d come to think of like a father. And he looked older; that told me I wasn’t insane.I stepped forward, tentatively – and a wonderful grin began to awaken upon my face, the first sign of life I’d felt all morning.“Quiet!” Maiden Threwon hissed at me. “Do you want everyone to hear?? This is a most inappropriate meeting.”Maiden Severo just continued to
The rest of the night passed fitfully for me. Upon waking to Dornell’s hands shaking me – having only just managed to close my eyes, it seemed – the stressful ambiguity of last night fell upon me like a mess of bodies. I probably screeched at my friend to shut up and let me go back to sleep, only to draw worried gazes from the rest of my bunk mates, but the whole waking part remains a little hazy for me.Put simply: it really sucked, and I felt like throwing up.“What happened??” Ellie demanded after I’d gotten my feet upon the floor again. Groggy, I stumbled over to the dresser and went about grabbing random articles of clothing.
