Ashes and Thorns

Book II of The Veiled RealmsHe thought his story ended in war.She was the miracle he was never meant to find.A year after the battle that changed everything, Orion has learned to live with silence. The forest that once obeyed him has grown quiet, and the vines that twine his wrists remind him of promises he couldn't keep.Then comes a whisper-his sister Lyra has returned, and with her, a familiar name from the past: Thalia, the girl who once gave everything to save another.When Orion finds Thalia alive, her touch rekindles something he thought was lost. Together, they journey through places where light and life are learning to grow again. What begins as a search for answers becomes something far more tender-a story of forgiveness, hope, and the quiet kind of love that blooms when the world has forgotten how to.
