Wings Of Hope (The Veil Series Prequel)

This book is for you.

When I wrote the first book in The Veil Series, I deliberately sprinkled breadcrumbs of backstory throughout the pages. Beyond The Veil is not about Muse's past. It's a book about her future. Where's she's going, and who she wants to be. It's a seed, from where the rest of the series grows.

But, many readers have cried out for more of Muse's past. Especially after we catch a glimpse of the netherworld and her owner in book 2, Devil May Care. What happened to her in the netherworld? How did she meet Akil? How did she escape?

So, without further ado, I'd like to introduce you to Wings Of Hope, the short-story prequel to The Veil Series due to be published at the end of Oct 2014.

Muse is a very different woman prior to her arrival in Boston (Fifteen years before events in Beyond The Veil). She is, to put it bluntly, a slave. Considered an abomination among the demons, her half-human nature marks her as weak and vulnerable; traits the demons exploit. When the Prince of Greed 'acquires' her for three nights, and bespells her with tales of a world where people live like kings and queens among towers of steel and glass, the seed of hope takes root in her soul. But Da'mean, her owner, refuses to release her. She belongs to him. She is his muse, and he'd rather see her dead, than free.

It'll be a tough read. But there is hope.

We already know how it ends. Let's see how it all begins.
