Lusin is a serpent prince—cold, lethal, and bound by laws of possession and claim.

And James is his.

Together, they are forced into a desperate journey to collect the elemental Keys—ancient forces guarded by monstrous beings. But the deeper they go, the worse the truth becomes. And something buried deep within the earth is beginning to stir.

As kingdoms fracture and reality itself begins to unravel, one question remains: How far will they go to save each other?

"Cloaked in Silence" by Annara Thorne

Cloaked in Silence – The Veiled Crown Series, Book One

In Dravaris, those who reach adulthood without bonding are sent to Amorin.

Chosen by the Elders and stripped of any choice, the unbonded must survive the Crucible, where failure means death and success offers the chance to bond with a wolf and finally wield the magic they have spent their lives without. For Zerra, as high fae, there is no future without a bond. But the longer she remains in Amorin, the more she begins to question everything she has ever been taught.

The only person willing to offer those answers is Marrock, a male who knows far more about Amorin than he should. But following him means risking everything Zerra has ever believed, and trusting someone she may never be able to forgive.

As the truth buried beneath Amorin begins to surface, Zerra finds herself caught between loyalty, rebellion, and secrets powerful enough to change the realm forever.
