Swanie discovered her ice magic not long ago. To protect herself and her people, her mentors trained her to hide it away from the world. But when her classmate faces brutal bullying, Swanie can’t just sit back and watch it happen. Not when she has the power to stop it. Vreni heard tales of Teutonic folklore during her childhood, but she never thought a wintry witch would arise out of nowhere and come to her aid. Doesn’t that sort of thing happen only in fairytales? A realm of magic and mystery lurks just beyond Vreni’s reach—and now she’s indebted to a Teuton witch. *VEILED MAGIC is a story of friendship and romance set during the timeline of ARCANE GATEWAY, the first book in His Name Was Augustin series. This story has a HEA and can be read on its own, though it is best enjoyed alongside the main series.**Reader Discretion: This book is recommended for adults due to profanity, sexual situations, and bullying.
