A modern fantasy tale about questioning the nature of reality itself and confronting an evil that feeds on the darkness within us all.
John and Cara have lived a lifetime since the mystical battles of their youth, and they've all but forgotten the horrors they faced. Now the memories come flooding back as their reality begins to unravel, bringing them face to face with their old nemesis: a Beast who stalks them patiently as the world slides headlong into darkness.
To survive they'll need to take ownership of themselves, their talents, and their role in the war still raging in the realm beyond the veil. And they're going to need a little help from their friends...
Erik Emrys Carl's dark fantasy debut takes us on a journey through mythical realms beyond the veil, where ancient magics struggle to control the fate of man, and then back to the rainy city streets of Boston, where killers strike in the name of an ancient evil. Where everything falls beneath the Shadow of the Spire.
Book One of a brand new series. The second book, Veil of Shadows, is scheduled for a 2026 release.
