The Seven Deadly Veils series by Diana Marik is a paranormal fantasy saga that runs ten books, beginning with Veil of Shadows in 2016. The series is built around the concept of veils that separate different realms and supernatural forces. A warrior heroine stands at the center, fighting threats that range from ancient darkness to werewolves and other shapeshifters, with The Were Queen taking that thread further midway through the series.
Each book in the series adds layers to the mythology. Veil of Darkness, Veil of Destiny, and Veil of Orion expand the world and the dangers within it, while Veil of Honor introduces questions of duty and sacrifice. The later entries, including Veil of Secrets, Veil of Mists, and Veil of Light, bring the larger conflict into sharper focus as the heroine faces her most difficult battles.
Marik writes with a mix of action and romance that keeps the pace up across the full run of the series. The books should be read in order, as the plot threads and character relationships build on each other from start to finish. Readers who enjoy urban fantasy with strong worldbuilding and a female lead will find this series worth the commitment.
