The Veilbound Series
Shadows of the Veil
Ayden Sterkur sets a kingdom sealed beneath the ocean ablaze when she becomes a series of dangerous firsts: the first commoner declared a noble warrior, the first Fyre wielder in generations, and the first woman Zander Calderon would forsake his duty for.
Ayden Sterkur didn’t come to the High City to become anyone. She came to be confirmed in her place and go home. What happens instead will cost her everything she was certain of—and pull her into a current that leads straight to a man she has every reason to hate, and no business wanting.
What People Are Saying
-
An awesome new can't-put-down romantasy that's like Divergent meets Fourth Wing!
— Trina
-
Hunger Games meets The Empyrean...A great page-turner if you want something light but also gripping.
— Vidya
-
I'm obsessed...I really love it and I don't read a ton of fantasy because new worlds and characters names take me a while to get into and understand.

About the Authors
E. L. Fox is the pen name of Derin, Jessica, and Mudra—three best friends with a decades-long friendship, a shared love of the ocean, and a passion for fantasy romance.
The idea for Veilbound began while they were swimming off the coast of Jamaica. Since then, it’s grown into a sweeping underwater realm, shaped by inspiration from travels across five continents and the oceans between them.
Veilbound is about loyalty, identity, and freedom—and the price each demands in a world built on control.
Based in New York City, Jersey City, and Charleston, this is their debut series. When they’re not writing together, they enjoy planning their next getaway, spending time with their three beloved dogs, or sharing a glass of whiskey.
The name E. L. Fox is a tribute to the three dogs they love most: Ellie, Lottie, and Mr. Fox.
