The Hollow Veil

Book One of The Ashwood Chronicles
By Samantha VanGundy

Some memories should stay buried.

When Detective Rhea Calder returns to Ashwood-a town that forgot her long before she forgot it-she's only meant to close a murder case. Instead, she finds blood-marked bodies, whispers behind the walls, and a veil between worlds that's thinning by the hour.

Tied to a legacy she doesn't understand and haunted by the mother who once tried to protect her from this very truth, Rhea's only allies are two men as dangerous as the mystery unfolding around them.

Lucien-a vampire who's spent a lifetime controlling his hunger.
Silas-a man with a quiet darkness that echoes the veil itself.

Together, they'll uncover what the Accord tried to hide. But the deeper Rhea goes, the more the veil demands. And the more she realizes: the monsters aren't what she feared.

They're who she belongs to.

Perfect for fans of Kingdom of the Wicked, Crave, and The Raven Boys, The Hollow Veil is the first in a dark, romantic gothic mystery series where blood remembers-and love could be the most dangerous mark of all.
