From #1 bestseller and USA Today bestseller Morgan Rice, whose books have over 10,000 five-star ratings, comes the fourth book in a spectacular new fantasy series, DEATHBORN, ideal for fans of Rebecca Yarros, Callie Hart, and Carissa Broadbent. The series begins with VEILED (BOOK 1 OF THE DEATHBORN SERIES).

Elara Gray’s fourth year at Greyveil Academy thrusts her into a new role on the student council, pitting her against the magnetic Luminary Orion despite their undeniable attraction.

As an ancient cosmic alignment weakens the veil, a malevolent force begins possessing students, and only Elara’s Deathborn powers can track the chaos. With Darian’s health fading under a mysterious burden, Elara faces an agonizing choice to save him or protect herself.

At the academy’s centennial gala, a devastating betrayal threatens to unleash an ancient evil. Can Elara embrace her full power before the veil collapses?

Seductive romance meets supernatural intrigue in a high-stakes world where mortality's boundaries fade and forbidden power awaits those willing to pay its terrible price. As enemies become reluctant lovers amidst ancient magic and deadly political games, morally complex characters must navigate their darkest desires and dangerous alliances—challenging readers to question how much they would sacrifice for power that transcends the veil between life and death.

Future books in the series are available!
