The Veilforge Chronicles, Book One

Echoes of the Forge

On submission to agents

Days before his sixteenth birthday, Cass Hart knows Ashridge has its ghosts: a mother who speaks in fragments, a father missing for two years, and a brother, Jonas, who feels every wound before he names it. Then the glass begins to move.

Reflections lag. Windows bow inward. Creatures made of fracture and hunger push through from the other side. When Harry Hart returns carrying Phos, a blade of living light tied to the hidden Veilforge, Cass learns his family belongs to a world buried beneath the ordinary one.

The Academy of the Veil can train him, but it cannot promise safety. Someone inside its ancient circles has already betrayed the wards, the Fractured One is waking, and Jonas is exactly the kind of boy shadow knows how to reach.

To hold his brother, his friends, and the failing Veil together, Cass must uncover the truth of the Trine before the thing behind the glass turns love itself into a weapon.
