About Severed Echoes (The Veil Duet)

In the idyllic, uncanny mountain town of Ventane, a portal to Hell swirls beneath the steam of a hotel hot tub. Meg, a woman whose mind harbors secrets even she's unaware of, has left her family behind for a lucrative career opportunity. Both breadwinner and burden, she's propelled forward by her desire to pay back a debt she's owed since childhood - but she finds her life abruptly yanked off-course by Soren, a man haunted by a legacy of family misdeeds. Centuries ago, Soren's ancestors found a way to harness otherworldly power, and in doing so trapped an entire town in a cycle of perpetual violence. An outsider in his own twisted kingdom, Soren has finally found a way to free himself and his people from the sins of his family, and he's prepared to do anything to make things right - even if it means sacrificing one last, innocent life. Vaelgor was judge, jury, and executioner in his home dimension. In our world, they call him 'devil', and his drive is still to punish and reward the deeds of the people he calculates like equations. But he still hasn't quite mastered the enigmatic ethics of humans, who are still so foreign to him after all his centuries among them - until he meets Meg, who changes everything. As Meg is drawn into a cosmic dance where logic is inseparable from magic, she grapples with a tug-of-war within her own psyche and find herself at odds with the very physics of the universe. "Severed Echoes" is the first volume in The Veil Duet, a gothic nightmare of romance and suspense, where absolution and guilt are two sides of the same coin - a coin that has the power to purchase anything... ...If you can bring yourself to sacrifice everything.
