Veilside Book 1, This Time Will Be Different

Veilside is an upcoming Paranormal New Adult series.

What would you do if you were haunted by the person who tried to kill you?

There’s a reason Aaron has avoided coming home, even after three years abroad in university–the spirit of his vengeful and unpredictable former lover, Dmitri, waits in the wings. Even though Aaron convinces himself he won’t fall for the same tricks again, Dmitri starts to make him doubt what really happened the day he saw him die. While this would be hard enough, the scars left on Aaron, physical and spiritual, will have profound consequences when it comes to navigating their bond.

In his bid for answers, and to rid himself of Dmitri for good, Aaron finds the quiet underworld of mediums, including the strange and endearing Amanda, Aaron’s old friend whose own brush with death gave her a lasting obsession with spirits. 

As Aaron and Amanda grow closer–to the truth and to each other–Dmitri’s unstable behavior threatens to upend Aaron’s grasp on himself, in more ways than one. To overcome this bond, Aaron will have to rein in his sight and, more importantly, learn what it means to let go.

Moody, atmospheric, and emotional, This Time Will Be Different would be perfect for fans of Life is Strange and Pushing Daises.

Heartlines



Heartlines is a Dystopian Fantasy

What if the Goddess you’ve always loved decides She’s had enough?

After twelve years on the run, all trans Prince Ario wants is a chance to fight back against the anti-magic government that stole his throne. Once settled in a city friendly to magic users, Ario discovers a dark secret the previous queen held; his soul has been bonded to that of another, a mermaid shifter named Peony, whose ability to nullify magic was meant to protect him. The depth and intensity of their bond calls into question everything he’s doing… and makes him wonder what else about his fate has already been decided.

When Ario’s efforts threaten the Goddess’s grand plan–to break away from the moon God’s hold on Her–She intervenes, using Ario to bring a vessel of destruction into the world. With his trust in Her shattered, Ario finds himself back in the palace in the hands of those who destroyed his family’s legacy, and abruptly without magic.

To stop the Goddess’s machinations, Ario needs resources only the regime can supply; the only way to move forward is to submit, and partner with his crown’s traitor, who promises to restore Ario to the throne as an act of atonement. If they get caught, it’s more than their lives on the line–that is, if Ario can trust him at all.

Will Ario be able to stop the Goddess’s endeavors, or will he be another victim of Her threads of fate?
