Beyond The Veil (BETA READER VERSION)

Lyra was never meant to survive the Choosing.
Marked as a mortal Bride and offered to the gods, her fate should have ended beneath the gaze of the Celestial Realm.
Instead, she wakes in the Underworld.
Hidden among the dead by Kaelith, the feared ruler of death, Lyra finds herself trapped in a realm of haunting beauty where souls sing through silver rivers and ancient grief lingers in every shadow. But beneath the stillness, something is unraveling.
The dead are beginning to forget themselves.
And somehow, they remember her.
As strange dreams and impossible abilities begin to surface, Lyra is pulled deeper into a world that feels disturbingly familiar, and toward a celestial king whose sharp wit and buried sorrow are as dangerous as the secrets he refuses to share.
But the heavens are watching.
And in a realm built upon memory, some truths were buried for a reason.
