I always knew I was different.

From a young age, my mind has been plagued with things only I could see. Some hauntingly beautiful, others completely terrifying. Never knowing if these visions were real or just hallucinations, I learned how to lock them down and ignore them. I learned to take solace in the relative anonymity of city life and find peace in the rainy days my city of Seattle is known for.

But just when I think my life is getting on track and my dreams are achievable, a moment of weakness causes me to learn a hard and fast lesson.

My entire existence has been a lie.

Now I’m faced with a new reality that’s as implausible as it is fantastical. Filled with realms and veils, light and dark, fae and daemons, gods and angels—things I don’t understand but am forced to acknowledge. It doesn’t help that the man teaching me about my unique gifts is the gorgeously handsome Carrick Byrne, one of Seattle’s richest and most powerful men. He intimidates, annoys, and intrigues me all at the same time. I don’t trust him and yet there’s no one else to help me.

No longer certain who to put my faith in, what to believe, or how I fit into it all, one revelation is clear…

The world as I know it will never be the same again. The Revelation of Light and Dark is book one of the Chronicles of the Stone Veil series and is best enjoyed if read in series order.

Wow! What an amazing journey with a cruel ending (in the best possible way) - MAJOR Cliffhanger!! Now to wait...

Finley Porter doesn't really aspire for much, she is content with the way things are: Managing a coffee shop - One Bean, her roommate friends, and her somewhat strained relationship with her twin sister, Fallon. Their mother died in childbirth and then their father took his life when they were 16, due to mental health issues.

Carrick Byrne is otherworldly (literally), he is Seattle's richest bachelor. A chance meeting with Finley leaves a sour taste, but now he needs her for his own selfish plans. He's relegated to help Finley discover who she is, and why she is this way.

I loved this story. It was refreshing and different in the paranormal world. This would have gotten 5 stars but some parts were a little too repetitive regarding the homeless. I also would have liked to see Finley get a bigger backbone and stop kowtowing to what people make her believe she is like, but perhaps that will be her character arc. Overall, this story was fantastic and I couldn't put it down. Looking forward to the rest of the story and how it plays out.
