Beyond the Veil: A Ghost, A Necromancer, and the Love That Defied Death
rowan everly
In a quiet Victorian home turned spectral sanctuary, Elm Blackwood, an asexual necromancer, hosts a support group for the dead. For Elm, communicating with spirits is routine—until Avery, a genderfluid ghost with a mysterious past and unfinished business, drifts into their life and changes everything.
Avery was an artist who tried to build a bridge between the living and the dead through their sculptures. But something went terribly wrong—and that final piece, The Veil Lifts, took Avery’s life and opened a gateway to something dark.
Together, Elm and Avery must uncover what went wrong with the sculpture, find a missing master crystal, and navigate the growing connection between them. As magical experiments blur the lines between spirit and flesh, love blossoms in a space where touch seems impossible and danger is never far.
But what if love itself is the key to rewriting the rules between worlds?
"Beyond the Veil" is a queer paranormal romance rich with atmosphere, slow-burn yearning, spectral science, and emotional depth. It's a deeply inclusive story that celebrates identity, grief, healing, and found family—perfect for fans of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, Cemetery Boys, or Ninth House.
