In New Orleans, rage has found its conductor.

Lara Dubois hunts monsters that slip between worlds. But her latest enemy doesn't hide in shadows-it weaponizes minds. Someone weaves fury into the city's heartbeat, turning human anger into a contagion that spreads through sound itself.

One infected phone. One streetcar. One spark.

The whole city burns.

The Order demands protocols. Patience. Permission. But protocols won't save New Orleans when every song triggers violence. When Lara discovers the threat carries the signature of Seattle's devastation-a psychic catastrophe the Order barely survived-she knows waiting means death.

Enter Julian Vacher: curse-breaker, code-slinger, and everything the Order taught her to hate. He sees magic as circuitry, emotion as raw energy. Where Lara trusts instinct and blood-deep power, Julian trusts logic and cold math.

They share only this: neither will let their city become an instrument of apocalypse.

But the Conductor doesn't just target New Orleans. He targets Lara-reshaping her into the final note of his masterpiece. A living weapon. A gate that will shatter the boundary between worlds forever.

Some enemies hide. Some attack.

The deadliest ones make you their orchestra.

VeilFall: New Orleans delivers high-voltage urban fantasy where mystic power collides with tech precision, where battles rage in the space between heartbeats, and where two people who speak different languages of magic must harmonize-or conduct their city's requiem.
