Septimus Velum

The Veil of Will

By: Tayah Hurdler

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The Veil of Will is the fifth book in the Septimus Velum saga, an epic science-fantasy series where ancient artifacts hold the threads of existence—and those who touch them risk unraveling themselves.

Zyra Valor never wanted power. But power has found him.

In the ruins of Sereth-Kai, he wrestled with the Veil of Will itself, bending ancient constructs to his command even as it sought to consume him. His defiance tore the bond, but left him scarred—and left the Concord commander shattered, destroyed by the very fragments he sought to master.

Now, with Sereth-Kai collapsing behind them, Zyra, Kara, and the flickering Corekeeper journey into the wastes. The Veil of Will pulses against Zyra’s chest, no longer screaming, no longer binding—but waiting. Always waiting.

The Concord hunts them. The Root whispers across the stars. And somewhere ahead, another Veil calls—its power older, stranger, more dangerous than any Zyra has yet faced.

In a universe unraveling, choice may be the only thread left.

Fans of modern science fiction will find themselves at home in this saga of ancient artifacts, broken empires, and one man caught between survival and destiny.
