The Veil was not only testing the crown but also the resolve of those who served it. Aera traversed the halls with silent grace, observing, listening, and guiding.

My fingers pressed deep into her hip. "Porcelain breaks cleanly, Fiorenza. Look What we are doing is messier. It is rotting from the inside."

His dark hair fell into his eyes, but the way he looked at me—like he could see straight through my skin—made my breath hitch. “You shouldn’t be out here,” he said, stepping closer. “The Veil’s thin tonight.” “The what?” His jaw tightened. “You really don’t know.” It wasn’t a question. I crossed my arms. “Then maybe explain instead of speaking in creepy one-liners.” He hesitated, looking over his shoulder like he expected something to leap out of the shadows. “The Veil is what keeps… them out.

Veil’s heart pulsed erratically against her chest, threatening to explode. He teased her small waist with his fingers, touching parts of her mind. Veil had no clue could be pulled out.

The Echo.” “For now,” Zevran said. “But the Veil’s still torn. You can feel it, can’t you?” She nodded slowly. “It’s thinner. Like something’s still bleeding through.”
