A Spellbinding Fantasy Romance—The Beginning of an Epic Nine-Part Saga

Step through the Veil and into a world where forbidden magic, aching desire, and ancient bloodlines collide. Magic & Desire: Shadowbonds is the electrifying first book in the Veil of Stars Saga—a sweeping nine-part epic told through three continuous, interwoven trilogies. Each trilogy deepens the stakes, the passion, and the peril, building a saga of love and power unlike anything you’ve read before.

Haunted by chilling dreams and an impossible bond, Aria Nightshade awakens to a world transformed by frost and longing. Her connection to Thorne—a prince shackled by magic and hunted by his own kind—defies the laws of both mortal and fae realms. As the ancient Veil between worlds begins to unravel, Aria must master the wild, golden threads of her magic before her enemies claim her blood for their own dark purposes.

But Aria’s power is both a curse and a key. The Court of Whispers, ruthless Seers, and the enigmatic Queen Morrigan all want her for their own ends. As the shadowy forces tighten their grip, Aria and Thorne’s forbidden love becomes the spark that could ignite a war—or heal a sundered world.
