Released October 2024 on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and in paperback at all online stores
With the Dragon Nathair now seemingly under the spirit Keran's control, Laoch pushes away the grief of his first encounter with the beast as he, and the others that survived, go on the hunt for a weapon they can use against the coming Constructor invasion. While they scour the abandoned city of their soul-eating foe, the Queen prepares Brandshold for the coming war under the burden of her own guilt. With the Unspoken on the rise, and the Houses only just starting to work hand-in-hand with 'science', time is running out, for their enemy has a new weapon, one no one could prepare for.
Editorial Review
A Dragon of the Veil
'Introducing an elaborate new world of wicked queens, wyrms, and unlikely antiheroes, A Dragon of the Veil by Nick Snape is a classic genre escape that artfully mixes elements of arcanepunk and high fantasy. In a world where the entrenched forces of tradition and religion are being strengthened by ominously familiar science and technology, a Queen hopes to finally eliminate the bastions of Unbelievers with a devastating new weapon. A once-heroic washout of a warrior is given a final chance at heroism to save his realm and the dragons who call it home, only to find that loyalties and morality are not always aligned. Bound together with lavish descriptive language and a patiently unfurled plot, this is a riveting start to a new fantasy series from an undeniably skilled storyteller, who shows impressive flexibility as a writer with this fully realized work of fantasy, which matches the astounding scope of his previous science fiction series.'

Nick Snape has been steeped in Science Fiction and Fantasy since his friends first dragged him from his schoolwork and stuck a book under his nose. Lost to the world of imagination he became a teacher by accident though he thoroughly enjoyed developing the joy of reading and writing in his pupils. Having retired after thirty years he thought it was high time to practise what he preached.
