Meet the Characters

A man with long blonde hair wearing black and gold armor with a lion emblem, looking intensely at the camera against a dark background.

Verian
Right Hand Commander

The Coven’s golden son. Devastatingly protective. Honorable to a fault.

Fury
The Coven’s Fury

The kingdom’s greatest weapon. Hiding from what she once was. Determined never to become it again.

Portrait of a man with silver hair and stern expression, wearing black armor, set against a dark background.
A woman with long, dark, wet-looking curly hair and golden eyes dressed in medieval armor with chainmail and a fur cloak, looking directly at the camera against a textured beige background.

‍ ‍Dom
The Deadliest Tracker

He hunts the people no one else can find. Fury may be the first person he encourages to run.

About Veilbound

Once the pride of the vampire cavalry, Fury now fears the power that made her infamous. Paired with the cavalry’s deadliest tracker, she finds herself drawn to the one man who believes she should reclaim it.

Fury believes surrendering her power—and her autonomy—is the price of atoning for killing her own people during the invasion of Mithras.

When a string of extremist attacks sends them searching for answers, every lead uncovers a deeper conspiracy, while every step closer to the tracker brings her closer to the power she’s sworn never to use again.

If she fails, the rebellion will turn her into a symbol, the cavalry will turn her into a weapon, and her own power may turn her into the monster everyone was right to fear.

From the Daphne Du Maurier Award Judges

Quote from the book

“Everything in my life was built to make him impossible. But standing there in the dark, with his thumb still warm against my mouth, impossibility felt like a coward’s excuse. This wasn’t something I could let fade. Not without losing the first future I had wanted for myself.”

Unique Perspective

The hardest battles are fought long after the fighting ends.

Veilbound explores the choices that linger long after the war is over. Fury’s greatest enemy isn’t what she survived—it’s the belief that one terrible decision defines who she is. Her journey asks what it takes to reclaim your future when you no longer trust yourself to make the right choice.
