Hey everyone, my name is Sophia Menesini. I am the author of The Veiled Threat and The Veiled Descendants, two books in the Veiled Duchess series. This is an update regarding the books. I was in my early twenties when I wrote them. It's been some years since I picked them up again. I'm older, and my writing style has changed. While I'm proud of both of them, I think they have so much potential of being more and therefore contemplating unpublishing and re-working on both books. Thanks so much for supporting both versions of the first and second books. We'll see what the future holds for Shea and Jo.

From another answer it sounded like the veiled duchess series will be a trilogy and then there will be another trilogy set after it - is this correct? (which would be amazing, I would love to continue reading about these characters and this world - especially if Aster will be captain! I love him) Love your work ♥ and was just wondering if I got this right so I can go into the next books with the right expectations

I'm so sorry for the late response, I want to let you know that your question seriously made my day. Thank you so much for reading The Veiled Duchess Series and I'm so glad you've enjoyed the books. The Veiled Duchess Series is a trilogy, I was working on the third book but other projects have unfortunately taken precedent. I had hoped to do a second series revolving around Aster, and the kids of the Veiled Duchess characters. I love this series, it's my first book series I've written. To be honest, I don't know if I'll end up doing the second series as much as I would like to. But I will definitely be finishing Shea's story although, again, to be honest, I don't know when that will be. Thank you so much for your support, it truly means the world. And I hope to return to these characters soon. (less)

Are Shea, Beck, and Joana in a polyamorous relationship?

But Beck is an uncommitted partner to their relationship. Under rules and agreements, he is apart of them, but he can still find someone outside of them. He's encouraged by Jo and even Shea. For Shea and Jo, their exception is Beck. I can't label their relationship because it is unique. When I set out to write the book, I planned on having a winner and a loser to a lover's triangle, but that didn't happen. Their relationship evolved organically into something new that I've never seen before, and to me, it's something beautiful. They're family, that's the best I could label it. But if you want to label it yourself, feel happy to do so. To me, they fit. I think there are a lot of relationships out there that are hard to describe, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be portrayed. Love is complicated, and sometimes we make compromises for those we love, for their happiness. To me, they work. They're family.(less)

Quotes by Sophia Menesini (?)

“Shea’s laugh is quick and sharp like ice, and she thinks Caen is about to speak but she cuts him off, “She’s real now, and she’s so difficult to explain. She saved Aster today. Even though her own life is on the line and I don’t think she thought about it. I came in knowing what I was doing and now…How can something be right and hurt so damn much? Because I wonder. I wonder, if she’d been someone different or if I had? I wonder now. I didn’t use to.”

“There’s a slow clap from Caen and she meets his glaring eyes. He doesn’t like it when she recklessly uses her elven elemental magic, especially in front of Lycons.
“By my count, that’s two more surrenders than we had last time,” Shea states, batting her eyelashes with a grin.
She looks positively demonic with all the drying blood dripping down her face.
“Merciful Grace,” Caen deadpans.
He throws his hammer onto his shoulder.”

“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
― Rob Siltanen
