Veil of the Fallen Empress

"Veil of the Fallen Empress" A tale of betrayal, secrets, and a love that defies vengeance. Once adored as the radiant Empress of Aurelia, Serene Lysandra Everveil was betrayed by the two people she trusted most — her beloved sister and the man she once thought she’d spend forever with. Branded a traitor, stripped of her crown, and exiled under false charges of forbidden magic, Serene vanished from the empire… and the world believed she was dead. Seven years later, she returns. Not as the heartbroken girl they cast aside, but as a veiled and mysterious noblewoman cloaked in secrets, wielding a magic fueled by pain and memory. Her mission is clear: Reclaim the throne. Destroy the liars. Never fall in love again. But fate is cruel. When she crosses paths with the cold, haunted Northern General Valen Kaelthorn, their alliance begins as a strategic arrangement. Yet every stolen glance, every sharp conversation, and every silent moment tears through her walls — and his. In a court where love is a weapon, and truth is a threat, Serene must fight not just for revenge… But for the pieces of her heart she swore she’d never feel again.
