A Veil of Midnight

When Detective Lila Stone is sent to investigate the decades-old disappearance of Jacob Marshall in the remote village of Elderglen, she expects an ordinary cold case. What she finds is anything but ordinary. Enveloped by a persistent mist and bound by eerie silence, Elderglen holds dark secrets: a mysterious Veil, ancient runes, and whispers that seem to call her name. Guided by a pendant left behind by the missing man, Lila discovers that Jacob believed the Stone Circle hidden deep within the forest could unlock the secrets of the Veil—and bring back someone he loved. But the Veil is no mere legend; it is alive, watching, and taking what it desires. As Lila delves deeper, she must confront the shadows of Elderglen's past and the haunting truth about what lies beyond the Veil. Each clue leads her closer to understanding Jacob's fate, but at a cost—her sanity, her safety, and perhaps her very soul. Will Lila unravel the truth before the Veil claims her too? Or will she become the latest in a long line of its victims? A Veil of Midnight is a chilling gothic thriller, weaving suspense, supernatural intrigue, and the weight of choices into a tale that will leave you questioning what lies in the shadows. Perfect for fans of dark mysteries and atmospheric storytelling.
