Giselle Bernal Devine thought college would be about late-night food runs, wild theater kids, and chilling with her best friends. But when her path crosses with Freedom Johnson-a silent, magnetic classmate who seems to flicker with literal light-her reality begins to unravel. Plagued with strange dreams, glowing marks, and a connection she can't explain, Giselle is pulled into the hidden world of the Lumenvesper, ancient insectoid beings disguised among humans. There's just one problem: Freedom doesn't want a mate. In fact, he's spent his entire life avoiding the bond that Giselle now threatens to awaken. As their fates entwine and the glow between them ignites, Giselle discovers she may be in for more than she bargained for-and this just might be the spark that changes everything she's ever known. Blending urban fantasy, sisterhood, and slow-burn supernatural romance, Lumenveiled is a story of becoming, glowing, and finding your light-even in the shadows.
