Beneath The Surface Beyond The Sky

Theodora Veresone had always been trapped in a cycle of what-ifs and worst-case scenarios, but now her world is falling apart in ways even she couldn’t imagine. When her small Missouri town is overrun by the brutal Sluice Militia, Theo is thrust into a hidden reality where she is not just an ordinary, anxious woman but the lost princess of Arielle—a secret realm teetering on the edge of a catastrophic invasion.

Dragged into a war between two worlds, Theo discovers rare and powerful abilities—gifts that could tip the balance in a centuries-old conflict. But in Arielle, nothing is as it seems. Those closest to her, especially Easton Bentler, her longtime friend and protector, are hiding truths that could shatter everything. As Theo trains to harness her powers, she becomes ensnared in a web of lies, betrayal, and a love that threatens to consume her.

Easton has always been by her side, but now their bond is deepening into something more—something that both excites and terrifies Theo. With every step closer they take, the dangers around them grow, and their budding romance becomes both a beacon of hope and a vulnerability that enemies could exploit.

When Theo uncovers a life-altering secret about the war raging in the other world, she faces an impossible risk everything to save the people she loves or play a deadly game of shadows where every move could be her last. In a world where magic is real and trust is scarce, Theo must decide who she truly is—and who she’s willing to become.
Beneath the Surface, Beyond the Sky is a tale of hidden legacies, fierce loyalty, and the untamed power that lies within us all, waiting to be unleashed. In this world, the truth isn’t just a weapon—it’s the key to survival.
