Behind the Veil
Whispers of Eden book one by Samantha Ortiz
Layden competes to join the ruling-elite, but strange visions lead her to uncover their secrets instead.
She’s always believed in the Council’s mission. Joining their ranks is her only chance at a life worth living. But to do so, she must survive the Generational Trials—a grueling competition where her mind is transferred into the body of a Host, and her goal, to prove her worth at any cost.
However, as strange visions haunt her, everything she thought she knew about the Council unravels.
Guided by her enigmatic Guardian and a quiet voice within, Layden must wrestle with truths she wasn’t prepared for, and make choices that affect those she loves, and the future of their world.
Layden’s gifted with vision, but when all is revealed, will she truly see?
