THE HOUSE OF INK AND VEIL - sneak peak

The House of Ink and Veil follows Nova Elric, a girl who receives a mysterious acceptance letter to a secret magical university—five years after her twin sister died. The letter was meant for her sister. She accepts it anyway.

At the elite and eerie Veiled House, magic isn’t cast—it’s written, using Ink, a powerful medium that allows users to manipulate, erase, or corrupt memory itself. Nova’s presence triggers whispers, stares, and sudden silence—because everyone seems to know her, or rather, her sister.

As Nova begins to uncover the truth behind her sister’s disappearance, she finds herself tangled in a centuries-old tradition of secrecy, forbidden rituals, and buried identities. Her memories begin to blur. Dreams become too vivid. People vanish. And the line between what she remembers and what she knows starts to unravel.

Nova is drawn into a dangerous academic world of magical philosophy, strange trials, and veiled intentions. Two enigmatic students—Rowan, cold and calculating, and Eira, unpredictable and too familiar—seem to orbit her, each with their own motives. But the true antagonist may be the school itself… or the version of herself she’s forgotten.
