Power is never safe. Love is never simple. And no one walks away unscathed.
As Farah works to rebuild Emari from the wreckage Behnaz left behind, Yasher struggles to master a Talent that refuses to be tamed. When a corrupted relic threatens to unleash an ancient Darkness, they are drawn into a battle of power, sacrifice, and divine reckoning. But the greatest threat isn’t the gods or the monsters—it’s the distance growing between them. If they cannot face what has already been lost, they may lose each other forever.
The kingdom of Emari stands on the edge of ruin.
Farah Rahnema, once the feared Hand of the Mashyana, now walks a fragile line between redemption and collapse. Sent to investigate the mysterious quiet overtaking the coastal town of Sakasan, she finds not resistance—but something far worse: a haunting silence, a people too obedient, and a power that twists from beneath the surface.
As Farah grapples with growing unrest and a relic’s corrupting pull, Yasher—scarred by loss and hunted by his own Luck—fights to protect her, even as trust between them fractures. Jeta, the enigmatic Voice of Ameretat, warns of divine silence and buried truths, but offers few answers before darkness takes its price.
When the gods fall silent, who decides what’s just?
In the shadow of a dying faith, Farah and Yasher must confront not only the darkness rising around them—but the one festering within.
The Veil of Takhsha is the gripping second installment of The Emari Chronicles, an epic fantasy of divine inheritance, political deception, and the aching cost of love and power.
