Sword and Veil (Everstone Series book 1 preview)

For five centuries, the Millennial War has bound the Zentari and Aniyan people in an unbroken cycle of vengeance and survival. With the cause of the war long forgotten, both nations are blinded by hatred for their enemy and refuse to yield after generations of bloodshed.

Evalynn is a skilled warrior in the Aniyan army, the Legion, yearning for the conflict to end. But when faced with impossible choices, she finds the wounds of her past have taught her that love, honor, and truth matter more than civic duty.

Elijah has dreamt for years of escaping his quiet home life and joining the Citadel to be trained as a Guardian, the feared and powerful magical warriors within the Zentari military. Yet, as he grows closer to achieving his goal, he is faced with unsettling coincidences and whispered secrets hidden within the walls of the war college, which unravel everything he held to be true

As Evalynn's and Elijah's fates entwine, they learn that in war, no one is innocent. Loyalties waver, truth and illusion merge, and they become torn between duty and desire- discerning trust from faith. Sword and Veil is a tale of courage in the face of adversity, of sacrifice in the name of truth, and of love that proves greater than the sins of war.
