The Keeper`s Vow

Some vows are sacred. Others are silent. And some awaken what we fear most inside ourselves.

In the mist-wrapped mountains of Taiwan, Wai Le was born into legacy—a keeper between light and darkness, tasked with holding the balance between the living and the spirit world. But while spirits whisper warnings and the old texts foretell rising darkness, it is the storm within himself that he cannot silence.

Haunted by visions, drawn to a novice he cannot name aloud, and pursued by a mysterious figure cloaked in mist, Wai Le must confront not just the forces that threaten the veil—but the parts of himself long buried.

When destiny leads him to a quiet temple—and a boy named Alex—two paths merge. What began as duty becomes connection. What began as silence becomes truth.

The Keeper's Vow is a spiritual coming-of-age and a queer fantasy of longing, legacy, and awakening. Book Three of Echos of the Veil – Veilbound, it weaves together soul magic, emotional intimacy, and the quiet courage it takes to face your inner shadow.
