Welcome to the Veilbreaker Reader Circle

Where history, mythology, dark magic and impossible love intertwine.

If you love wandering through the pages of history, losing yourself in mythology, discovering forgotten folklore, and falling hopelessly in love with characters who are as flawed as they are fierce, I think you'll feel right at home here.

I write stories woven with history, dark magic, immortal courts, irresistible romance, and the enduring struggle between fate and free will. Stories where the line between gods and mortals blurs, love is rarely simple, and even the smallest choices can change the course of kingdoms.

As I prepare to release The Thorn Court, the second book in my Veilbreaker series, I'm hoping to gather a lovely community of readers who share a passion for these kinds of stories. Our reader circle has many adventures still to come!

Whether you've already stepped beyond the Veil or are just discovering my books, you're warmly invited to apply to join my advance reader team. I'd be delighted to have you along for the journey.

With love and a little magic,

The Thorn Court

Veilbreaker Series | Book Two
By Julia R. Walker | Releasing March 10, 2027

Welcome to the Thorn Court!

The Veil is thinning, the immortal courts should be preparing for war, and Elinor is training with the witches of the Thorn Court in immortal Scotland to gain command over her body and fire.

Would you like to be among the first readers to enter The Thorn Court?

I'm looking for a wonderful group of readers to join my Advance Reader Copy (ARC) team for the second instalment of the Veilbreaker series.

Selected readers will receive a complimentary digital copy of The Thorn Court before publication, in exchange for their willingness to consider sharing an honest review.

Whether you're a longtime supporter or newly discovering my books, I'm delighted you're here!

A little note before you apply: The Thorn Court is the second book in an interconnected historical romantasy series. Reading The Hollowfang Court first is strongly recommended.

Completing this application does not guarantee selection. I'll contact selected readers by email with further details.

Thank you for your interest, and happy reading!

Would you like to stay in touch? You can also opt in to receive occasional emails from Julia about new releases, book news and future reader opportunities. This is entirely optional and won't affect your ARC application.
