Spring is finally here, and you know what that means—fresh blooms, cozy reading spots, and a brand-new book pick for The Tattered Pages Society! This month, we’re diving headfirst into an enchanting world of magic, secrets, and slow-burning tension with The Veiled Kingdom by Holly Renee.

If you’ve been craving a fantasy romance that will keep you up way past your bedtime (because one more chapter always turns into five), then you’re in for a treat. Holly Renee has a way of pulling readers into her stories with lush world-building, undeniable chemistry, and the kind of tension that has you internally screaming at the characters to just kiss already.

So, grab your favorite reading beverage, get comfy, and let’s talk about why The Veiled Kingdom is the perfect April read!

What The Veiled Kingdom Is About

Without giving too much away (because spoilers are a crime in this book club), The Veiled Kingdom follows a fierce heroine who has spent her life in the shadows, a prince with a duty that weighs heavy on his shoulders, and a kingdom on the brink of war. There are courtly intrigues, betrayals, and a romance that simmers under the surface—everything we love in a fantasy novel.

Expect powerful magic, a protagonist who refuses to back down, and a slow-burn romance that will have you gripping the pages. If you loved books like The Serpent & The Wings of Night, Fourth Wing, or A Court of Thorns and Roses, then this one is definitely going to hit the spot.

Whether it’s the thrill of adventure, the ache of forbidden love, or the satisfaction of a well-executed revenge arc, we want stories that leave a mark. The Veiled Kingdom delivers on all fronts.

• Fantasy escapism: April is that weird in-between month where we’re waiting for full-on warm weather but still dealing with the occasional chilly day. What better way to pass the time than by escaping into a lush fantasy world?

• Romantic tension: We live for a slow burn that makes every stolen glance and accidental touch feel like fireworks. If there’s angst? Even better.

• Discussion-worthy moments: From morally gray characters to the choices that shape their destinies, this book is packed with moments that will spark some very passionate book club discussions.

How to Join the Discussion

Whether you’re a seasoned fantasy reader or just dipping your toes into the genre, we want to hear your thoughts! Here’s how you can join in on the fun:

1. Read the book – Whether you grab a physical copy, an eBook, or listen to the audiobook (because let’s be honest, multitasking is a skill), just make sure you’re ready to dive in.

2. Join the conversation – We’ll be discussing the book throughout April, so keep an eye out for discussion posts, theories, and (of course) a few swoon-worthy quotes.

3. Engage with fellow readers – Share your favorite moments, post your reactions, and don’t be afraid to get way too emotionally invested. That’s kind of our thing.
