The Veil Gate: Guardian of Souls is a magical tale that spans two worlds, the mortal world and the realm of The Veil Gate. Death is only the beginning....... The poor souls who inhabit The Veil Gate are existing under the tyrannical reign of a hideous over-lord, Daevon Furie: The Horned One, will stop at nothing to reap their souls, "wraithing" all those who cross his path. With their Guardians lost to them it falls to an unlikely hero to mold their fate. Aurora Lovelace has a dark history and shortly after her release from a Mental Health Institution she learns of a disturbing legend surrounding her mother's suicide. She must overcome her fears in order to accept her fate, and from the picturesque seaside village of Seagate where she lived as a child, her story unfolds. This is a roller coaster of a story with magic and mystery, bravery and humour, and most of all it is a dark, modern fairytale that tells how love can conquer anything - even death.

"It's unlike any paranormal book I've read--very smart, very fresh, and very addictive, and very still in my mind." –And Anything Bookish In 1692, when witch trials gripped the community of Salem, Massachusetts, twenty-six children were accused as witches, exiled, and left for dead. Fourteen of them survived. The Survivors is the first installment of the tantalizing tales of the fourteen ill-fated Survivors and their descendants, who have been content in hiding for over three centuries. Isolated on a Montana mountainside, only Sadie, the rogue daughter, dares to abandon the family’s sacred hiding place. But no matter how far Sadie runs, something always pulls her back. On a muggy summer night in Tennessee, she witnesses a shocking scene that will change her life forever. It is the first in a sequence of events that will drag her from the human world she’s sought to belong to for over a century and send her back to her Puritanical family. Sadie is thrown toward an uncertain future filled with cunning witches, mysterious nosferatu shape-shifters, dangerous eretica and vieczy vampires, millennia-old mythology, and the search for her own mortality. After all… HOW DO YOU KILL A SURVIVOR? The Survivors will steal your heart and invade your mind. Fall into the pages of Sadie’s life, a world so frighteningly similar to your own, you’ll find yourself wanting to go to the Montana mountains to find the Survivors for yourself. And it is only the beginning. "The way Ms. Havard has taken the history of the Salem witches and made it her own is truly fascinating... great debut from a talented writer." –DJ DeSmyter, author of Hunted “[THE SURVIVORS is a…] promising debut and an incredibly unique paranormal romance. Unputdownable, engaging, realistic and dark..." –Fragments of Life Review Blog Can't wait to read the whole story?
