Series: Chronicles of the Stone Veil #2
Publication date: March 2nd, 2021
Synopsis:
Life as I knew it ended the day I accepted my fate.
In its place is an existence even the wildest imagination could never fathom. Strange creatures walk among us, plotting our demise, and I've come to find that the fate of our world rests squarely on my shoulders. We're all in danger and I'm trying to figure out how to make it through each day.
The key to my survival is a man I can't figure out. As dangerous as the darkest fae, I have no choice but to work with him to stop the prophecy that's foretold to be the ruination of mankind.
Carrick Byrne continues to be my only source of information, but he doles it out as he sees fit. He intrigues and scares me in equal measures, yet I can't help but be attracted to him. And the more I discover about him, the more it becomes clear he feels the same.
As we travel to Faere in search of answers, we find that every piece of information leads to more questions, that every question leads to a new piece of the puzzle, and that, most importantly, no one can be trusted.
The more secrets we uncover, one thing is certain -- if we have any chance of saving the world, we have to do it together.
A Discovery of Secrets and Fate is book two of the Chronicles of the Stone Veil series and is best enjoyed if read in series order.

Excerpt
"Maybe," Carrick murmurs, but there's a biting edge to it. "Just maybe, I didn't like him touching you."
"Why?" I manage to whisper.
Carrick's head dips lower, tilts to the side, and his lips hover right over mine so that when he speaks, I feel his breath. He stares at me, eyes hard and resolute before they drop to my mouth. "Maybe I'm just feeling proprietary."
I'd jerk my head back from him if the wall weren't trapping me, so my tone is more than scathing enough to get I don't like his wording. "You mean... like you own me?"
There's just a flash of amused smile before Carrick brushes his lips over mine. It's soft, so subtle, and yet the absolute best kiss I've ever had in my life. But then his lips are gone, leaving behind a faint tingle. My skin prickles when I feel his mouth grazing across my jaw, light as a feather.
My eyes flutter shut as I savor the feel of him touching me in a way that is far beyond the boundaries we have set. My heart pounds, my blood races, and I feel like my legs won't support me, so I press my hands into the wall and dig my heels down into the rug. He's barely touching me, yet I ache with such deep need I'm afraid I'll be devastated if it's not filled.
Carrick reaches my ear where I feel his warm breath, then the butterfly touch of his lips as he murmurs, "You're not the type of woman who could ever be owned, Finley."
