Veil of Shadows

"I am still your monster, Aveline . . . "

Demons lie. Demon's cheat.

Ava knows that her Mama's death was the result of a sinister bargain with the wickedest of beings. A demon.
Desperate for answers, she turns to spiritualism, hoping to reach her mother beyond the veil - but unknowingly welcomes a dark presence into her world.

When her father goes into business with a mysterious benefactor to save Elemore Colliery, Ava is immediately wary: Ares Locke is wealthy, striking, calculating . . . and tightening his grip on her family. But soon Ava uncovers his true nature: he is the demon she has summoned.

To save her family and find her mother's spirit, Ava strikes a dangerous bargain: marry Mr. Locke. But in a realm of shadows and secrets, ruled by a tyrannical, wicked demon lord, Ava must decide whether to fight the darkness - or embrace it.

Veil of Shadows is the sexy, enemies-to-lovers demon romantasy debut by Lucy Richardson.
