Veilside Book 1, This Time Will Be Different

Veilside is an upcoming Paranormal New Adult series.

On this side of the veil, the living and dead mingle freely. Only those who have witnessed death personally–or just barely escaped the grasp themselves–can see spirits.

Aaron has long gotten used to having the sight. But when he comes home from studying abroad for college to help care for his ailing father, he runs right back into the person who gave it to him in the first place–his abusive ex, Dmitri.

In a desperate bid to rid himself of this spirit, Aaron joins forces with Amanda, an old friend eager to gain the sight who has connections to the tenuous world of mediums.

And while Dmitri is a little too ready to let go, an abiding karmic bond has already sealed Aaron’s fate with Dmitri’s. To truly free himself, Aaron must confront the truth of their relationship, before he loses everything he holds dear.

Dark, raw, and emotional, This Time Will Be Different is perfect for fans of Life is Strange, School Spirits, and any other good ghost story.

Heartlines

The cover of Heartlines by Rachel E. Wilder. It is periwinkle with a moon at the top of the page, the title in cursive, an apple with an apple blossom sprouting from it towards the bottom left corner, and a dagger next to the apple.

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?
