DELUXE EDITION--featuring gorgeous ruby sprayed edges!

From indie darling Harper L. Woods comes WHAT LIES BEYOND THE VEIL, the first book in the Of Flesh & Bone series, where the heated fae romance of A Court of Thorns and Roses meets The Witcher.


Once, we’d worshipped them as Gods.

For nearly 400 years, the Veil has protected us from the Fae of Alfheimr. In their absence, our lives have shifted from decadence and sin to survival and virtue under the guidance of the New Gods. I’ve spent my entire life tending to the gardens next to the boundary between our worlds, drawn to the shimmering magic like a moth to the flame.

Then, we died on their swords.

All of that changes the day the Veil shatters, unleashing the fae upon our world once again. The magic of faerie marks those of us they mean to take, but the Mist Guard protecting Nothrek will kill us all before they let the fae have us. There’s no choice but to flee everything I’ve ever known, not if I want to live to see my twenty-first birthday as a free woman.

Now, they’ll claim what’s theirs.

But before they capture me, Caelum saves me from the Wild Hunt. Fae-marked and on the run, he is able to fight back in ways I only dream of. From tentative alliance to all-consuming passion, our bond strengthens as the fae close in and evil lurks ever nearer. With my life on the line, he is everything I shouldn’t dare to want and a distraction I can’t afford. I can’t seem to stay away, not even with something greater on the line.

My heart.

Spice Rating

Rating: 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Mythic Manuscripts Spice Scale:

  • 1 (Mild): Very little to no explicit content. May include kissing and hand-holding, but nothing more.

  • 2 (Warm): Includes passionate kissing and some sexual tension, but the explicit acts are often "fade to black" or left to the imagination.

  • 3 (Spicy): Detailed and steamy romance, but not overly graphic.

  • 4 (Hot): Open-door scenes with vivid descriptions of intimacy that make up a significant part of the story.

  • 5 (Extra Hot/Blazing Inferno): Extremely explicit and graphic scenes where the romantic and sexual content is the main focus of the entire book.
