Ashes Beneath the Veil
Carleigh's life has always been quiet, predictable, and safe - until the dreams began. At first, they were fleeting shadows: whispers in the dark, fleeting images she couldn't quite understand. But soon the visions became vivid, impossible to ignore. The dead speak, objects move of their own will, and shadows in the corners of her room shift with an awareness she cannot explain. Something ancient is stirring - and it has chosen her.
Grief and loss weigh heavily on Carleigh's shoulders, yet even as she struggles to navigate the ordinary pains of life, she discovers there is a world beyond the one she knows, one filled with magic, danger, and hidden truths about her family she never suspected. Her once-ordinary home, the town she has always taken for granted, and even the people she thought she knew are connected to secrets that have lain dormant for generations. Carleigh is drawn to the veil between worlds, a fragile boundary that separates the living from forces that are both beautiful and terrifying.
As her magical awakening intensifies, Carleigh must confront the shadows that lurk in the corners of her life and in her own mind. Powers she does not yet fully understand surge unpredictably, leaving destruction in their wake and forcing her to question whom she can trust. Friendships are tested, alliances are uncertain, and enemies reveal themselves when least expected. Ancient rituals, cryptic symbols, and hidden grimoires hint at a destiny that is both extraordinary and dangerous - a destiny Carleigh never asked for, but one she cannot escape.
Haunted by visions of the past, present, and possible futures, Carleigh must navigate a labyrinth of mysteries to uncover the truth about her family, her power, and the unseen forces that have silently guided her life. Each step closer to the truth brings new challenges: supernatural entities that threaten her life, cryptic messages that push her to the edge of sanity, and the realization that embracing her abilities may come at an unthinkable cost.
Ashes Beneath the Veil is a dark, atmospheric, and emotionally charged paranormal fantasy that blends suspense, grief, and magic into a richly immersive tale. Readers will follow Carleigh as she grapples with the consequences of her awakening, learns to harness powers she barely understands, and faces a world more dangerous and wondrous than she ever imagined.
In this first book of The EchoBorn Chronicles, the veil between life and the supernatural is thin, the stakes are high, and Carleigh's journey is only beginning. As secrets rise from the ashes of the past, she will be forced to confront not only the mysteries of the world around her but also the truths buried deep within herself - truths that may change everything she thought she knew about her life, her family, and her destiny.
