A Portrait of Blood and Shadows
Book One of the Echoes of the Veil Series
by Danielle A. Lincoln

Welcome to Drakestone Academy—where ancient magic breathes through the walls, shadows whisper secrets, and bloodlines carry more than legacy… they carry curses.

At twenty-five, Elvana Vale is older than most first-year students. Haunted by a fragmented family history and drawn to the academy her mother once called home, she arrives with more questions than answers—and a growing darkness that stirs beneath her skin.

Drakestone is no ordinary school of magic. Its stone halls hold relics of ruin, arcane trials, and a history soaked in blood and betrayal. As Elvana uncovers forbidden truths buried deep within her ancestral name, she finds herself entangled with a mysterious classmate whose past is as haunted as her own, and a cursed relic that may be the key to unraveling—or unmaking—the kingdom of Mystral.

But some relics were never meant to be found.
And some truths were buried for a reason.

Atmospheric, romantic, and edged in danger, A Portrait of Blood and Shadows is the first installment in the dark academia fantasy series Echoes of the Veil —a story of secret legacies, forbidden love, and the price of power when magic remembers what you tried to forget.
