The Story
Every hundred years the Veil between the mortal realm and the Court of Night grows thin, and every hundred years a Veilborn is sent through it with a dagger forged from starlight and a single purpose: end the Shadow King before his reign swallows the sun.
Ysolde Varre has trained for this her whole life. She knows the prophecy by heart, knows the weak point beneath his ribs, knows that no Veilborn has ever come home.
What she doesn't know is why the king looks at her like he's been waiting centuries, why his court whispers her name before she gives it, or why the blade at her hip hums every time he's near. As the Veil tears wider and old gods stir beneath the city, Ysolde must decide what she's willing to betray: her people, her heart, or the truth about the night she was born.
Lush, dangerous and utterly addictive. I stayed up until 3am and regret nothing.
The kind of slow burn that sets the whole kingdom on fire.
Nguyen writes longing like a blade: beautiful, sharp and aimed right at your heart.
