(Book Two in the Whispers of the Veil series)
Eighteen years after the Hollow Queen vanished from history, her daughter, Amelia Hill, lives hidden at the edge of the human realm - wild, untamed, and carrying magic that should never have existed.
Born a siphoner witch and something even older, something still unnamed, Amelia was meant to live a quiet life, far from the shattered remains of the supernatural world her mother once fought to protect.
But the past never forgets.
When ancient forces stir from their long slumber, Amelia becomes more than a secret - she becomes a target. Hunted by creatures older than the Veil itself, caught between a world that fears her and a destiny she never asked for, Amelia must choose between the safety of the life she knows... and the storm rising in her blood.
Assigned to protect her is Theo, a fierce and stubborn young wolf from Thane's pack - and the boy Amelia should never fall for. As danger tightens its grip, forbidden feelings bloom between them, hidden from the only person Amelia fears disappointing: her mother.
But darker truths linger beneath the surface.
Because Cora's sacrifice all those years ago didn't end the war.
It only delayed it.
And now, the blood that once mended the world threatens to tear it apart again.
In the quiet between heartbeats, everything can change.
Love.
Loyalty.
Life itself.
And some choices cannot be undone.

Whispers of the Veil - The Hollow Legacy Book 1
(Book One in the Whispers of the Veil series) A fragile world cloaked in secrets. A girl born to unravel it. Cora Hill was never meant to know the truth. Hidden behind the enchanted Veil, the supernatural world exists just out of reach-until a moment of unraveling thrusts her into the heart of it. Cursed blood runs through her veins: part witch, part wolf, and now, something far more dangerous. As the Veil weakens and ancient powers stir, Cora becomes the center of a centuries-old prophecy once whispered by the last great witch, Cordelia. Some believe she is salvation. Others believe she is ruin. Torn between Cassius, an immortal vampire haunted by his past, and Roman, a royal bound by duty and love, Cora must navigate a fractured alliance of witches, wolves, and vampires on the brink of war. When death comes for her, a single choice changes everything-one that will end the balance of magic or bind her to a fate worse than death. Darkly romantic, dripping with suspense, and woven with the ache of power, love, and loss, Whispers of the Veil is a haunting slow-burn fantasy where innocence is a currency-and Cora is running out of time.
