Blood Beneath the Veil

LOYALTY BUILT HER. TRUTH WILL DESTROY HER.

For five thousand years, the supernatural world has remained hidden.

Now someone is erasing its history.

Beneath the ancient streets of Prague lies the Obsidian Court, seat of the Sanguine Dominion-a powerful vampire civilization governed by ancient laws, noble bloodlines, and secrets buried beneath centuries of carefully preserved history.

For High Reaper Seraphine Vale, loyalty to the Dominion has never been a question. A formidable investigator and sworn defender of its laws, she has devoted centuries to protecting the order that holds the supernatural world together.

Until an impossible murder threatens everything she believes.

A vampire clerk is discovered dead inside the Blood Registry. Her name has vanished from official records. Her existence has been erased from history. Even those who knew her can no longer remember her.

And she is only the beginning.

Meanwhile, Cassian Thorne, last heir of the disgraced House Ashborne, faces charges of treason built upon evidence he knows has been manipulated. Far beyond Prague, brilliant Thread Weaver Mara Blackthorn uncovers missing pages from an ancient manuscript-pages someone has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal.

As their investigations converge, a terrifying pattern emerges.

Bloodlines are disappearing. Memories are being stolen. Powerful institutions are concealing forbidden knowledge. And somewhere beneath the Dominion's foundations, an ancient prison holds something the First Wardens sacrificed everything to contain.

Something that is beginning to awaken.

To expose the truth, Seraphine must confront the possibility that the greatest threat to her world comes not from the darkness beyond the Veil-but from the very civilization she has sworn to protect.

Because when history can be rewritten, memory becomes a weapon.

And the truth may destroy everything she has ever served.

Blood Beneath the Veil - Book One launches an epic contemporary dark fantasy saga of supernatural mystery, political conspiracy, ancient magic, forgotten civilizations, and the extraordinary cost of uncovering the truth.

Some secrets were buried to protect the world. Others were buried to control it.
