Escaping the veilscape was only the beginning. When I wake, the Council is waiting with a single answer to my power—bind it before it spreads. But their ritual fails spectacularly, ripping cracks through the Veil and unleashing magic no one knows how to contain. Now the same people who tried to cage me need my help to repair the damage they caused. The Veil is thinning. Strange distortions ripple across campus. Students are disappearing. And every hour the fractures widen, drawing something hungry closer to our world. I’m the only one who can stabilize the Veil…but the more I do, the more my magic changes. It’s unpredictable, volatile, and I am nothing like what I was before. If I can’t gain control, the Frostbound Term won’t mark a new beginning for Blackthorne Academy. It will mark its collapse. Book 2 of Veilborn Academy continues this dark-academy, slow-burn why choose filled with dangerous magic, unraveling secrets, and a heroine whose power refuses to stay buried.
