“The involvement of semi-immortal beings makes for an easy comparison to N.K. Jemisin’s The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, and it’s justified. Written on a grand scale and set in an ancient world of humans, immortals, and other magical beings, this debut is an engaging and quick-moving story of love, revenge, and justice. Resembling the work of Joe Abercrombie and Michael Sullivan, it will be popular with a wide range of fantasy fans.” -- Library Journal
The Empire is Shrouded, not only by the barrier that covers the land, but by the lies and oppression of the mierothi regime. Magic is the privilege of the elite, and the people of this shadowed country have forgotten what it means to hope under their rule.
But there are some who would resist, with plans put into motion millennia before. For returned to the Empire is a valynkar, servant of the god of light, and with him comes the strength and cunning that could tip the scales to end the Emperor’s reign. He has gathered a group of heroes ready to ignite the flame of rebellion and fight against the dark power that has ruled for nearly two thousand years. A power that has champions of its own.
Nathan Garrison’s Veiled Empire throws a mythical land into chaos, with races long thought forgotten, and magics only-just discovered. Steel and sorcery clash as brave souls vie for freedom and control in this astonishing debut novel.

About the Author
Born in 1983, Nathan Garrison has been writing stories since his dad bought their first family computer. He grew up on tales of the fantastic. From Narnia and Middle-earth to a galaxy far, far away, he has always harbored a love for things only imagination can conjure up. He counts it among the greatest joys of his life to be able to share the stories within him. He has two great boys and an awesome wife who is way more supportive of his writing efforts than he thinks he deserves. Besides writing, he loves playing guitar (the louder the better), cooking (the more bacon-y the better), playing board/video/card games with friends and family, and reveling in unadulterated geekery.

8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Good, Unremarkable Read. By Durendal Summary - The writer possesses good storytelling instincts and has written a good book. His execution of certain aspects that he insisted on including need a lot of work, especially if they are going to be present in sequels. If you see this available at a special price then buy, if not, or if you have a big stack of unread stuff on your shelf/device, you aren't really missing much.Let me first clarify that this isn't a mean spirited attempt to throw cold water on the few existing reviews of this book. If possible, I would have given the book 3.5 stars. Amazon treats 3 star reviews as being "critical", but in truth my personal scale equates 5 stars as being "close to perfection", 4 stars as "amazing and exceptional", and 3 stars as "better than 75% of the genre, worth reading if you have the time."What I liked:- The plot was interesting enough to keep me reading. Some reviews on good reads hint at trope subversion...I looked and didn't see any of that. Instead the writer made sensible choices of trope aversion in not relying on McGuffins, and avoiding the "Hero's Journey". The choice to base most of the main characters within armies certainly helped in avoiding quest cliches;- I like how the writer handled exposition. There was very little in the way of info dumps or "As you know Bob..." conversations for detailing the world and the character backgrounds. Instead we get this information gradually, through flashbacks, or internal dialogue reactions to observed phenomena. If you keep reading beyond the first mentions of things like Ropes/Mierothii/Valynkar, you will get a satisfactory explanation of what they are;- Good pacing. I did not notice any real slowdowns, yet enough time is spent explaining things that there isn't much confusion- Not brimming with bad sex. Seriously, regardless of genre, so many current writers seem to assume that readers somehow want this. Or maybe there's a serious lot of wish fulfillment going on, but anyway kudos to Garrison for not trying to drag this book down with the like.- The prose is pedestrian and effortless to read. I realize this can be both good and bad, but I read this in the wake of Malazan, and it was nice to be able to breeze through a book in a matter of hours with 100% conviction that I won't need nor benefit from a reread. I think at least one of the other reviews have described the book as "thought provoking". Really? In what way? Compared to what? Not trying to be a jerk, I think the details would be interesting.What didn't work:- I very much appreciate humor in my fiction reading. The occasional sorties at it in this book felt very flat. If a sequel is released, I dearly hope that future attempts at comedy are based around situations or (true) irony. If they are going to be of the crack a joke variety, the writer seriously needs to work on the ability to craft a well turned comedic phrase, or else simply adopt good existing lines from other sources, and adapt them to his story;- The attempts at detailing the emergence and progression of romance came off as very amateurish and clumsy. The lines between Slick Ren and Yandumar in particular I was convinced were written by a fourteen year old, until I researched some background of the writer. This is a fantasy book, like most other people I'm reading it with a very open mindset, yet I constantly had difficulty suspending my disbelief about how people felt about one another and why;- I skimmed through the action scenes. Characters that fry ten thousand elite enemies at a time should stay in comic books. Yeah, I know its a trend, but it doesn't mean I have to pretend to like it; And there is so much killing in this book. If not for that, I would have assumed this book was strictly intended as YA. Contrary to the official classifications I've seen of this book though, the body count didn't make the book seem dark, that would require something more in the way of atmosphere/theme/thought etc.- Please don't do the corpseless death thing. Most readers have been around in this genre long enough to know exactly what the situation is. At this time it represents an uninspired storytelling device;- It is unusual for me to read a book this long, with it this fresh in my memory, and not be able to recall at least one memorable line. To be fair though, the absence didn't really detract from the book as a whole. I finished the book and I don't feel cheated of my time.- Characterization. Essentially, no one in the book felt real to me. From how other reviewers are gushing about this, it is entirely possible that I'm the one who needs crazy pills. Yet, at no point in the story would I have felt...anything....if one of the characters died. Maybe Voren...maybe. I can read something by Guy Gavriel Kay or Erickson and minor characters there will be sketched out in greater depth within a few lines than the major ones here are here over the course of an entire book.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. you might weep for some of your favorite characters as Garrison plays with them like a cat ... By Ingrid Seymour This was an absorbing fantasy with a satisfying end that should appeal to readers of the genre who seek a moving, ticking plot. From the beginning you are thrown into Garrison’s rich world and the lives and machinations of his diverse characters. Introspection and background relevant to the story are dealt to the reader when they become relevant, so no long info-dumps that can be the death of fantasy novels.The story is told from 6 different POV’s (I think I’m counting correctly) which makes for an intricate read of interlacing motivations and schemes. Although the twists and turns might be somewhat confusing in the beginning given the number of POV’s and the richness of the world and shared pasts of several of the characters, the novel slowly grows and delights you with its complexity. Be warned, you might weep for some of your favorite characters as Garrison plays with them like a cat with a mouse. You might also end up highlighting many of the beautifully written sentences. Highly recommended!
6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Surprisingly good gamble By Taedirk I took a gamble on this, seeing a brand new full novel from a noteworthy publisher priced so low, and definitely came out ahead. Veiled Empire has a classic fantasy novel feel to it with hints of modern influence. The world-building has its own unique flairs and leaves plenty of room to grow without corrupting the standalone nature of the story.
