Valentine’s Day is supposed to be about soft love.
Sweet promises. Gentle devotion.
But today, we’re celebrating a different kind of romance.
Ruin Has Sharp Fangs is officially out in the world.
And yes—it bites.
A Love Story Written in Blood and Bone
Ruin Has Sharp Fangs is a Valentine’s-themed dark fantasy novella set in the Veil of Shadows universe, where love is not safe, fate is not kind, and devotion always comes at a cost.
This story explores:
- Dangerous attraction
- Devotion sharpened into something lethal
- Love that doesn’t soften monsters—but reveals them
It’s dark. It’s intimate. And it was written for readers who prefer their romance with teeth.

A Perfect Entry Point — or a Haunting Return
Chronologically set before the First Generation Veil of Shadows books, Ruin Has Sharp Fangs can be read as a standalone.
That means:
- New readers can start here with no prior knowledge
- Longtime readers can experience a deeper layer of the world
- Everyone gets a complete, emotionally rich story
Whether this is your first step into the Veil or another scar added to your collection—it belongs on your shelf.
