Behind the Iron Veil: A Mythos Romantasy by Tyler R. Lorde

THE DAMNED They call her myth-born. A silent maiden marked by gods, shadowed by curses, and whispered of as though she were no mortal thing at all. Yet I have sought her through ruin, through death, through the turning of ages. She is mine. She has always been mine. And when I find her, no force in this world or the next shall keep her from me. I will claim her with fire, with blood, with war if I must. For if I am denied her... kingdoms will fall, and the stars themselves will weep. THE UNSPOKEN His touch feels like ruin. His kiss, like worship. Even with my cruel master near, this dark and fearsome apparition reaches for me as though I already belong to him, and treacherously, I yield. But surrender has a price. The moment my heart turns toward him, the world begins to unravel. He is no mere man, but a creature forged of vengeance, prophecy, and ancient power. To love him is forbidden. To resist him may destroy me. Yet my soul knows what my mind fears most: I was never meant to escape him.
