"An INCREDIBLE start to a new, dark epic fantasy series,"‒ SFF Insiders

Born into a realm oppressed by the Seven Gods' Houses, Loach is a Queen's Ranger, consumed by bitterness, desperate to drown the acrid stink of the Unspoken crusade. Only Sura remains as his last ally, a dishonoured elven warrior battling to hold her own amid a people that displaced her tribe.

When a tremor of long suppressed magic rips through Brandshold, threatening to tear the very souls from its people, Laoch is forced to confront his past, and choose between standing for a Queen who challenges the deceitful lies of her Gods' Overseers, or to turn away and abandon the last vestige of his honour.

As the truth about the Seven Gods, the weapons they created, and the land they came from emerges, the Seven Houses face a new horror. For hidden within the forest, a malignant hunger waits, a hunter compelled to find its master and reveal where the true prey lies.

"Artfully mixes arcanepunk and high fantasy...bound together with lavish descriptive language and a patiently unfurled plot," SPR Review ★★★★★

For lovers of Andy Peloquin's Darkblade series and the malice of Gwynne and Abercrombie, A Dragon of the Veil is the start of the dark and epic Warriors of Spirit and Bone series.

Continue the series with A City of Ashes, released October 2024.
