Veils of Eternity: Blood Among the Living
For over six hundred years, Selene Ashcroft has survived by doing the one thing she can never forgive herself for-killing to feed. Haunted by centuries of bloodshed, she makes an impossible choice: abandon the immortal world that created her and disappear among humans.
Under a new identity, Selene moves into Evergreen Community Living, a waiver services home where adults are learning independence, building friendships, and discovering what it means to belong. She expects to blend into the background, keeping her vampiric nature hidden while fighting an insatiable hunger that threatens to expose her darkest secret.
Instead, she finds something she never thought she deserved-a family.
As the residents and staff slowly break through the walls around her heart, Selene begins to rediscover compassion, hope, and the possibility that even a monster can choose a different path. But her peaceful new life is shattered when the ruthless vampire council tracks her down, determined to drag her back into a world of violence and fear.
With danger closing in and the lives of her newfound family hanging in the balance, Selene must decide whether to run once more or stand and fight for the people who taught her that redemption is earned not through perfection, but through love, sacrifice, and the courage to become someone new.
Veils of Eternity: Blood Among the Living is a haunting tale of redemption, found family, second chances, and the extraordinary power of acceptance. It asks a timeless question: Can even the darkest soul find the light when someone finally gives them a place to call home?
