Follow sisters Eliza and Esme Wren as they navigate a world where relics whisper, and opposing forces battle for control.

The Veil of Secrets
When the Veil between life and death is torn, will the truth remain buried?
When a fragment of the legendary Veil of Mourning is stolen, sisters Dr. Eliza Wren — a brilliant scientist and reluctant guardian of cursed relics — and Esme Wren — a fiercely gifted psychic with a past shrouded in visions — are thrust into a deadly game against the Covenant, a secret society bent on bending death to their will.
But the Veil doesn't just bind the living and the dead — it whispers. It remembers. And it calls to those who once wore it in grief and vengeance.
As Eliza deciphers ancient codes and Esme navigates the shadows of the spirit world, the sisters must confront long-buried secrets, including an ancient betrayal and a brother Eliza thought lost forever-now returned under a mask of lies. Their only hope lies in a soul-bound brooch and the strength of a bond forged by blood, loss, and unbreakable trust.
A tale of betrayal, bloodlines, and the binding power of grief, The Veil of Secrets is a dark and thrilling descent into the secrets we leave behind — and the ones that refuse to die.
The Night Doctor's Blade
Some wounds don’t heal. Some secrets won’t die.
Deep in the shadow of the Carpathian Mountains, a forgotten asylum hides an artifact of impossible power. When Eliza and Esme Wren are sent by the Aegis Order to investigate strange activity in Romania, they are drawn into the legacy of the Artifact of Arkanos and the Night Doctor—a man revered as a miracle worker and reviled as a monster. His story is one of grief, sacrifice, and a desperate bid to save what he loves most, no matter the cost.
The Artifact, an ancient surgical blade, offers the power to mend what’s broken, but at a devastating price. When Esme’s life is in peril, Eliza will do anything to protect her, but when the Blade calls for her own blood, Eliza must decide how far she’s willing to go—and whether some wounds are meant to remain unhealed.
The Crimson Compass
The Compass has awakened, and it is calling.
When sisters Eliza and Esme Wren board a luxury yacht bound for the Mediterranean, they expect a rare moment of peace after months of danger and loss. Instead, they are drawn into a centuries-old secret centered on an ancient compass-an Artifact long believed lost, rumored to grant protection at sea, and whispered to be one of the keys to the legendary Manifest.
As ancient relics stir beneath the sea, Eliza and Esme are forced to confront a truth that is more dangerous than any myth: the greatest threat may lie closer to home.
When rival ambitions collide and hidden loyalties surface, the Compass awakens powers far beyond the Order's understanding. Beneath the waters of Malta, impossible trials test wisdom, forgiveness, and sacrifice-forcing the Wrens to confront not only immortal guardians and forgotten gods, but the deepest fractures within their own circle.
With Atlantis looming just beyond reach and the line between destiny and destruction dangerously thin, the Wrens must decide who they trust, what they are willing to give up, and whether the truth is worth the cost.
And once the Compass points the way, there is no turning back.
