EDGED BY A MONSTER—sounds tortuous, right?

And this particular beast takes me to the brink of my sanity, only to pull back at the last second. He swears it's to help me, but I know the truth—the Erlking wants to make me miserable.

Why else would the monstrous man kidnap me, steal me away from Earth, and force me to learn how to be the very thing I despise?

Ugh, the nerve of him—and don't even get me started on how he teases me.

Enticing me.

Exciting me.

Enraging me.

But all is not well in The Veil. Turns out the Erlking is hiding more than just his evil plan to torment me, and I'm going to find out what's going on.

Will I beat Ender at his own game, or will I swallow my pride so I can experience the pleasure he taunts me with?
