Veiled (Book One of the Deathborn Series)

“Action-packed …. Rice's writing is solid and the premise intriguing.” --Publishers Weekly (re A Quest of Heroes) “I await each release by this author eagerly and have never been disappointed!” --Book Reviewer (Wish) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

From #1 bestseller and USA Today bestseller Morgan Rice, whose books have over 10,000 five-star ratings, comes the debut of a spectacular new fantasy series, DEATHBORN, ideal for fans of Rebecca Yarros, Callie Hart, and Carissa Broadbent.

When the dead start whispering to Elara Gray on her 18th birthday, she thinks she’s losing her mind.

But then comes the invitation to Greyveil Academy, a school hidden in the misty mountains where the veil between worlds is paper-thin.

Turns out, she isn't crazy—she's Deathborn, the rarest and most feared type of supernatural. Those with her gift can command the dead, making them dangerous to everyone living.

But Greyveil isn't the sanctuary Elara hoped for. The school operates on a brutal hierarchy based on supernatural lineage—and Deathborn are at the bottom.

At Greyveil, they teach that death is just another beginning. Elara is starting to believe them. But if she can't master her abilities and find allies among her enemies, it might be the end for all of them.

Because in this world, it's not just the dead you need to fear—it's what controls them.

Seductive romance meets supernatural intrigue in a high-stakes world where mortality's boundaries fade and forbidden power awaits those willing to pay its terrible price. As enemies become reluctant lovers amidst ancient magic and deadly political games, morally complex characters must navigate their darkest desires and dangerous alliances—challenging readers to question how much they would sacrifice for power that transcends the veil between life and death.

Future books in the series are available!
