I died.

At least that’s what it felt like.

Betrayed by the man I was beginning to love, I was chained, used, and shoved into the Veil, tossed away like moldy bread.

When the Veil spits me back out, no one is more shocked than me that I survived, but I’m not the same person anymore. Not even close. I’m also no longer in the Kingdom of Eaorin. Somehow I’ve ended up in the mystical fae realm of Illeoria, and I quickly discover that everything I thought I knew about the fae was horribly wrong.

As I try to figure out how I got here and what I'm supposed to do now, my enemy is by my side every step of the way. Tormenting me. Tempting me. If he doesn't kill me, the fae realm just might.

When we get to the fae court, not only am I in way over my head, but I’ve already broken one of the cardinal rules of the fae, one which is punishable by death. If I’m going to survive, I have to trust the one person I never wanted to rely on again—Thorn. Will he help me survive? Or will he just use me for his own gain?

Cursed by the Veil is the second book in the Bound by the Veil series. It's filled with steamy enemies-to-lovers romance, mystery, a heroine who will fight for everything she has, and a hero who might just be a villain. Perfect for romantic fantasy fans who love Sylvia Mercedes, LJ Andrews, and Elise Kova. One-click this epic adventure of magic, love, and betrayal today!

Helen's approach to storytelling is deeply personal. She writes the kinds of stories she herself loves to read—ones where the line between right and wrong isn’t always clear, and characters must navigate their own complicated paths toward understanding themselves and the world around them. Her writing is rich with layered characters who face extraordinary circumstances, but it’s their internal struggles that drive the heart of each story.

Over the years, Helen has cultivated a dedicated following, with fans praising her unique voice and ability to blend supernatural thrills with relatable human experiences. While she remains grounded in the quiet charm of her small town, her stories resonate far beyond, capturing the hearts of readers who crave not only adventure but also the intimacy of well-crafted, deeply personal narratives.

When she’s not writing, Helen can often be found sipping tea and working on her next plot twist, or losing herself in the latest fantasy novel. She believes in the power of storytelling to connect, heal, and inspire, and it’s this belief that fuels her ongoing journey as an author.

In every page of her books, readers can feel Helen’s commitment to creating something unforgettable—stories that are both a reflection of the world we know and a glimpse into the worlds we’ve yet to discover.

Bound by the Veil

Bound by the Veil is a spellbinding series that pulls readers into a world where the boundaries between the living and the supernatural are blurred, and fate itself seems as fragile as a whispered secret. At its core, this series is about choices—the ones we make, the ones we’re forced into, and those that ultimately define who we are.

In this richly imagined world, magic is not just an ability; it’s a dangerous, all-consuming force that both connects and divides. The Veil, an ethereal divide between realms, holds dark secrets and ancient forces that have long been hidden from human eyes. But for those drawn into its tangled threads, the line between ally and enemy becomes increasingly difficult to discern.

The protagonist, an unlikely hero with a secret past, must navigate this dangerous web of magic, betrayal, and heartache. As each book unfolds, readers are drawn deeper into the world of the Veil, where power is coveted, alliances are fragile, and the stakes are higher than ever. Personal growth and inner conflict take center stage, as characters grapple not only with their external enemies but also the darker sides of themselves they never knew existed.

Each book in the series unravels layers of intrigue, building on the last with meticulously crafted world-building and complex, multi-dimensional characters. The atmosphere is dark and atmospheric, the pace relentlessly gripping, yet it’s the quiet moments of introspection and emotional vulnerability that truly leave their mark. In this world, magic isn’t just about flashy spells; it’s an ever-present reminder of the unseen forces shaping destiny.

Bound by the Veil isn’t just a fantasy series—it’s an exploration of the human spirit, the costs of power, and the lengths one will go to in order to protect those they love. It is a journey that will keep readers guessing, captivated by twists and turns, while offering a rich emotional experience that lingers long after the final page.

Prepare to be immersed in a world where every decision has weight, and the shadows of the Veil are never far behind.
