Calia Rivers never expected the contents of an old locket to shatter her world. When she inherits the piece of jewelry from her missing grandfather, she's thrust into a surreal journey through fractured realities, each more alien and dangerous than the last. The locket's obsidian shard holds the key to mending the Veil, a mysterious force that binds the very fabric of existence—but doing so will come at a steep price. As Calia unravels the truth behind her grandfather's disappearance and the damage he caused, she must navigate strange realms, enigmatic figures, and a path fraught with uncertainty. In this first volume of The Shifting Veil series, Calia's quest to restore balance will test her resolve, her identity, and everything she thought she knew about reality. The cost of truth may be more than she's willing to pay—but the Veil waits for no one.
