Endorsements
"In Behind the Veil an ominous landscape pairs with an overbearing council and a blindly loyal main character to create the perfect setup for a dystopian novel that portrays loyalty, friendship, and what it means to face the consequences of our actions. Creative, unique, and addictive, this book will fit perfectly on your shelf next to The Hunger Games and The Maze Runner."
--- E. A. Hendryx, award-winning author of Suspended in the Stars

Synopsis
This YA Dystopian Fantasy follows Layden Prier, a timid, yet determined girl from the Outlayers, who is competing to join the ruling-elite of Nyine City, but whose strange and sudden visions lead her to uncover their secrets instead.
Layden Prier has always believed in the Council’s mission.
To her they are humanity’s lifeboat, and 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 begin to haunt her, everything she thought she knew about the Council begins to unravel. 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 been gifted with vision, but when all is revealed, will she truly see?
