Veil of Shadows - Chronicles of the Shadowed Circle
History doesn’t sleep — it watches.
Evelyn Thorn, a reserved university researcher with a passion for lost civilizations, prefers deciphering ancient glyphs to engaging with the modern world. But when a mysterious manuscript known as the Eye of Shadows resurfaces—bearing symbols echoing across forgotten epochs—Evelyn finds herself drawn into a conspiracy far older and darker than anything she’s ever studied.
As she deciphers cryptic links between Egyptian death gods, erased stele fragments, and occult rituals hidden across cultures, a chilling pattern emerges: someone—or something—has been erasing the truth from history. And it’s watching her now.
When a relic pulses with ancient memory and shadows follow too closely, Evelyn must decide if the world is ready for the secrets she’s uncovering—or if they should remain buried.
Set in a modern world veiled by myth and secrecy, Veil of Shadows is a tense, atmospheric descent into ancient conspiracies, hidden societies, and the horrors we were never meant to uncover.
This is the first book in the Chronicles of the Shadowed Circle series where lore is dangerous, knowledge bleeds, and the dead are never truly silent.
About
Nicolas Vitner
Nicolas Vitner writes what others fear to remember.
A lifelong devotee of forgotten mythologies, lost manuscripts, and shadowed history, Vitner crafts thrillers that blur the line between ancient truth and modern reality. His stories unravel in the hidden places—beneath libraries, behind old stone, between one breath and the next—where something dark has been waiting to be found.
With a background in cultural research and an obsession with dead languages, Vitner explores how silence protects power, and how the past is never truly gone. His debut novel, Veil of Shadows, follows Evelyn Thorn, a scholar who uncovers a conspiracy buried deep beneath human history.
When not writing, Vitner can be found in secondhand bookstores, collecting gemstones, or wandering city streets —where, he insists, the real stories begin.
