About The Veil and The Vow: SCAR | Book 2: A Dark Epic Fantasy of Broken Oaths, Forbidden Magic, and a Corrupt Order

A council that buries its failures. A contract that asks Draven Duskvar to bury one more. Draven broke his oath once, at Greywater, and it cost him a piece of himself he still hasn't named. Since then he's kept to small jobs, stayed off the guild's radar, and told himself it was a single failure. Not a pattern. Then Skarfell hands him a contract that's really a cover-up: bury what happened at Greywater before it reaches ears it shouldn't. What Draven finds instead is Ashmere, a village bleeding out under a rift pattern that shouldn't exist. Tears open faster and closer together than any precedent allows, a pattern the Council of the Veil has known about for months and buried on purpose. Then there's Fenn. Twelve years old, orphaned, and eerily still around Veil energy in a way nobody, including the boy, can explain. The contract's fine print won't let Draven save him. Walking away clean is the smart move. Breaking his code a second time might be the only decent one left. Back at Skarfell, Brenna is pulling threads that dead end at a Master Warden's office. Lirael's silence turns out to be calculation, not indifference. And somewhere behind Halric, a hand that isn't his is already moving the next piece. A code only feels solid until you're the one standing on the wrong side of it. Draven is about to find out exactly how solid his still is. Scar is Book Two of The Bound, the first trilogy in the dark epic fantasy series The Veil and the Vow. If you want a hero who keeps choosing wrong for the right reasons, an order more interested in appearances than truth, and a found family worth breaking the rules for, this one won't let you look away.
