Into The Depths (WIP)

Book II of The Veil Series

*Into The Depths is a “work in progress”, and does not currently have a release date.*

“The world is changing, growing and shrinking in parallel- reality is merely a game, and it is played those you never knew were even there… Everything you know is just a pawn in the hands of the true players at the table …”

Aarav is now a prisoner of his memories of Tvestra, haunted by dreams of a dying planet and the woman he left behind. As the rest of humanity celebrates the “relief effort” on Tvestra, he remains exiled on his homeworld, trapped by a shadowy family legacy that has begun to hunt him down.

International tensions rise as Allie and Aarav navigate the political challenges faced by Humanity’s new conquest of Tvestra. Corporate greed, whispers of war, and a New World Order come to a head on a world that lay pristine for aeons. Yet, in the shadows of this decaying Eden, a darkness continues to stir within the planet itself- and Aarav finds himself face-to-face with it as he descends into the depths of the Tvestran underworld.

FAQ:

What sets The Veil apart from other speculative fiction?

– The Veil pushes the boundaries of imagination by exploring real-world topics in the context of an intricately constructed world and narrative.

– The author built this world with much inspiration from J.R.R. Tolkien, namely by the inclusion of poetry, mythology, and (functional) invented languages.

– Within the pages of The Veil are many images, symbols, and charts, as well as twenty professionally hand-drawn illustrations to enrich the reading experience.

– The Veil is not a stand-alone novel. It is the first of a series that will unfold over at least four books.

 

What is the religious stance taken in The Veil?

 

The author believes that reality is deeply intertwined with spirituality, and that this “spiritual world” has been interacting with mankind since the dawn of history.

While the book is not marketed as specifically Christian, the worldview is steeped in that of the bible. The author is a student of the works of Dr. Michael Heiser and subscribes to the Deuteronomy 32 worldview.

This being said, the book is written with readers of any spiritual background in mind. It does not seek to “bible-bash”, but does not shy away from the author’s convictions either.

What are some of the themes in The Veil?

 

– Humanity’s relationship with nature, and how to better steward creation.

– A warning against over-reliance on technology.

– The deeply intertwined nature of the physical vs. the spiritual.

– Honor in the midst of tribulation.

– The pitfalls of civilization.

– Often overlooked aspects of ancient history.

– Unexplainable real-world events like the “Missing 411” phenomenon.
