The night his father died, the gods came to Ilija Dragovic in a forest outside Belgrade. He was seventeen. He's spent fifteen years convincing himself it never happened.
Now a mythology professor who teaches dead gods to skeptical students, Ilija has buried what he felt that night beneath academic rigor and the quiet routines of a life carefully constructed to keep the impossible at bay. But the old stories are pushing back. Memories that don't belong to him surface without warning, flashes of ancient battlefields, of lightning summoned through flesh, of a love so fierce it followed him through death after death.
When a student brings him an artifact marked with his name in a script that predates nations, Ilija is forced to confront what he's always carried: a legacy written in blood and myth, one that powerful forces are already moving to claim.
And the gods have not been idle. Across Europe, borders are being redrawn, old beliefs erased, and a new power is rising. One built on seduction, control, and the deliberate burial of everything the myths once held sacred. At its center stands someone Ilija trusts completely. Someone who has been shaping his life far longer than he knows.
As the storm inside him wakes, Ilija must decide what he is willing to become, and what he is willing to lose, when the veil between the mortal world and the divine finally shatters.
The Heir of Ash and Thunder is the first book in The Shattered Veil trilogy, an epic mythic fantasy romance of gods, reincarnation, war, and a love that outlasts every ending.
