The Gods Veiling

Stay away from the gods.

Don’t go to them or Godsden searching for us.

Never enter yourself in the Veiling.

Those are the promises I made to my parents when they left me in the custody of their best friend and his son.

I’ve never uttered a prayer or worship to the powerful and selfish gods who sit in Godsden without a care in the realm for the rest of us. I’ve stayed far away from their joke of a “sacred” occasion known as the Veiling Day.

Unlike the rest of the Valorian Veil, I refuse to do the gods’ bidding to be given a chance to receive power that’s rightfully mine anyway.

My disdain for the righteous beings is deeply rooted—which has made keeping my promises to my parents simple.

Until a betrayal that cuts me just as deep as their abandonment upends my self-secluded life.

Turns out…plans have been made for me. Plans I want no part of.

Now I find myself standing with the very beings I despise—bound not only to their home, their way of life that I wholeheartedly disagree with, but to four men who are just as uncertain about this new predicament as I am.

My unwilling ascension has put the five of us in a situation none of us knows how to navigate. We have more questions than answers, and only one thing is clear…

The gods are using us.

Can we put aside our differences and learn to work together? Or will our secrets destroy us before the gods get their chance?
