At Shadowveil, trust is a weakness—and obedience is everything.

When Ivy Carron is selected for Shadowveil Keep, the Unity Defense Force’s most secretive intelligence academy, she knows the training will be brutal. What she doesn’t expect is a system designed to turn cadets against one another—where surveillance replaces friendship, perception matters more than truth, and loyalty is measured by how far you’re willing to go.

As Ivy is pushed deeper into Shadowveil’s ruthless curriculum, her talent sets her apart—and isolates her. Every success brings her closer to the inner circle…and farther from the person she used to be. The lines between duty and cruelty blur, and the question is no longer whether she can survive the academy, but what survival will cost her.

With Shadowveil watching her every move and unseen forces circling just beyond its walls, Ivy must decide how much of herself she’s willing to sacrifice to succeed.

Shadowveil is a dark, psychological dystopian thriller about control, identity, and the moment following orders means losing your humanity.
