The Empire of Meredith has waged war against the Veil Queen for over a thousand years.
However, the struggle is unequal. Protected by the Veil, an impenetrable boundary of magic, the Veil Queen preys on the Empire’s citizens. The ceaseless raids have allowed her to build an enormous army of melds, monstrous creatures who are a fusion of humans and beasts.
Then a way is found through the magical partition. An invasion is launched to defeat the Dark Queen. But she’s had centuries to plot treachery. Is the open portal real or a misdirection, another of her evil schemes?
Alexandria’s new husband, Prince Tal, has wielded his formidable magic repeatedly in the struggle. But the key to victory may not lie with his power, but with Alex’s wild and unpredictable magic. If she can discover a way to control it, they have a chance to end the war and destroy the Veil. It requires only two things.
Find the Veil Queen…and kill her.

Book Review Main

Cavern of Queen Bookstagrm Christena

I have enthusiastically awaited the final and fourth book Cavern of the Veil Queen in Michael Clifton’s fantasy saga. Wowzah!  Clifton delivered a phantasmagorical Rockstar ending to this series. I was blown away and was left with a huge smile as the story drew to a close.

Without a doubt, the Conquest of the Veil is a phenomenal series. Cavern of the Veil Queen draws to a close this fantasy saga with exceptional storytelling and writing by Clifton.

I have loved this series with its mix of elements of magic, gargoyles, gnomes, and flying horses, as well as romance. Thrown in this menagerie are people who are fighting for their lives against an evil wicked woman who loves crafting weird creatures from others. Alex and Tal are the principal characters driving this story that kept me engaged and immersed in another world. By the end, I was like YES, Clifton nailed the perfect ending.

Cavern of the Veil Queen concentrates on a war being waged by the Veil Queen. Loyalties and love are tested in this final story.

One of my favorite aspects of reading a book is reaching a point where I simply do not want to walk away from it or put it down. Cavern of the Veil Queen is that category of unputdownable books.

This book is definitely not a stand-alone book since this story concludes this fantasy saga. Fans of imitate plots, intrigue with mythical creatures, and magic will embrace this series.

I also want to give special recognition to the artist, Nancy E. Durham for her illuminating black and white illustrations in this book. Her designs are incisive. The alligator’s personality jumps off the page in this last book.

Thank you, Mr. Clifton, for a fantabulous ending. Thank you, for this series.
