Across the Shadow-Veil

By Elizabeth Spring

A time-traveling romance novella. - Prince Camrin has been exiled to another world, where he has only just managed to start a new life when news reaches him across the shadow-veil that his father the King is dead. This breaks open the question of succession. Burning with ambition and desire to return home, Camrin decides to cross the shadow-veil (space between worlds) and claim the throne for himself. But in order to succeed, first he cunningly undertakes a quest that offers an incredible reward: to give him what he wants. He must obtain a magic flower from an immortal thief, Wian the Traveler. In return, he is all but guaranteed the throne. Or so he thinks.

When Camrin meets Wian, everything changes, for the thief is anything but ordinary. The prince must rethink all he thought he knew - about life, love, magic, time, the Universe. And, most importantly, about himself.

LGBT+. Science fiction (time travel and otherworldly technology) meets magic fantasy (using magic to travel through time and space). Romance with HEA.
