The Veiled: Blackthorn Academy
The Veiled is a sweeping dark fantasy series by Maria Kosmin, where ancient magic, forgotten bloodlines, fierce friendships, and long-buried secrets collide.
Sixteen year old Alara Johnson has spent her entire life on her family's quiet farm outside Bellweather, Georgia, believing her future would be as ordinary and familiar as the land she calls home. But when unsettling dreams, impossible encounters, and a mysterious mark begin to disrupt the life she has always known, Alara is drawn toward Blackthorn Academy- a place hidden from the ordinary world and filled with magic she never knew existed.
Within Blackthorn's ancient halls, Alara must learn to abilities she doesn't understand while navigating new friendships, dangerous rivalries, powerful guardians, and questions about her past that no one seems willing to answer completely. The deeper she ventures into this hidden world, the more she realizes that her arrival at Blackthorn may not have been an accident- and that the truth surrounding her identity reaches much further into the past than she ever imagined.
Across The Veiled series, Alara's search for answers becomes a journey of identity, loyalty, love, sacrifice, and the difficult choices that come with extraordinary power. Because in a world built upon secrets, the most dangerous thing Alara can do is uncover the truth.
Some truths were never meant to stay buried.
