The Veil of Dominion

Faythe Stewart was never supposed to amount to anything.

As one of the residents from the crumbling Gloom District, she is consistently underestimated by magisters, enforcers, and even other apprentices. When she enters the Arcanum Institute at the heart of the Dominion to help her family and save her father, no one believes she will make it through the daunting entrance exam, earn a place in a reputable lab, or do anything novel. But power, politics, and prophecy have other plans.

Thrown into a fierce competition against the brightest young mages in the nation, Faythe must navigate cutthroat rivalries, mysterious mentors, hidden agendas, the haunting pull of ancient magic that refuses to stay buried, and secrets buried beneath centuries of silence--secrets that link her to a history she never knew and a future far more dangerous than she imagined.

The deeper she goes, the more she uncovers--about the ancient magic stirring beneath the surface, about herself, and about the dangerous figure watching her from the shadows. When malevolent forces--some long forgotten, others dangerously close--rise to claim that power for themselves, Faythe and her fellow apprentices must choose: fight for a world that consistently turns its back on them or be consumed by it.

Magic always has a cost.

Some debts echo across centuries. Some debts are written in blood.
