They told the world she died. They were wrong.
Aveline should be buried beneath stone and silence, erased as collateral damage as a dynasty's collateral damage. Instead, she wakes to betrayal, stolen motherhood, and the brutal truth that her grave was a convenience for those who profited from her disappearance. Her child is alive. And the empire that took him will burn.
Rescued by Rurik Dravic, a king forged in violence and loyalty, Aveline is pulled into a world where power is currency and mercy is a liability. As her memory returns, so does her fury. What was taken from her will not be negotiated back. It will be reclaimed. What follows is not a revenge story. It is a war.
A war of bloodlines, crowns, and consequence. A war that will drag kings from their thrones and force monsters to answer for what they created. And at its center stands a woman no longer asking for survival, but demanding justice. Dark, explosive, and emotionally ruthless, Black Veil Rising is a story of betrayal, motherhood, obsession, and the kind of love that is forged only in fire.
They buried her. Now she is the one who decides who lives.
