Your next favorite book
is waiting.
by Bennett Sawyer
I always knew I was different.
My entire existence has been a lie.
The world as I know it will never be the same again.
From a young age, my mind has been plagued with things only I could see. Some hauntingly beautiful, others completely terrifying. Never knowing if these visions were real or just hallucinations, I learned how to lock them down and ignore them. I learned to take solace in the relative anonymity of city life and find peace in the rainy days my city of Seattle is known for.
But just when I think my life is getting on track and my dreams are achievable, a moment of weakness causes me to learn a hard and fast lesson.
Now I'm faced with a new reality that's as implausible as it is fantastical. Filled with realms and veils, light and dark, fae and daemons, gods and angels-things I don't understand but am forced to acknowledge. It doesn't help that the man teaching me about my unique gifts is the gorgeously handsome Carrick Byrne, one of Seattle's richest and most powerful men. He intimidates, annoys, and intrigues me all at the same time. I don't trust him and yet there's no one else to help me.
No longer certain who to put my faith in, what to believe, or how I fit into it all, one revelation is clear...
The Revelation of Light and Dark is book one of the Chronicles of the Stone Veil series and is best enjoyed if read in series order.

"This book hits all my hot spots! Mystery, magic, fantasy, and romance, plus amazing characters and a plot that I'm dying to see how it plays out. Don't miss it!" —New York Times bestselling author J. Kenner
