Welcome to Veil's Edge
In the Veil’s Edge epic/high fantasy/fantastical/magical realism series of 7 books (each released in 2 parts), Carla Maria Atherton weaves together everything from ancient and mystic wisdom, cosmology, the internal sciences, magick, star lore, dreamplay, and mythology with the social, political, personal, and relational, to reflect and reimagine our heartbreakingly beautiful, our terrifyingly lovely world, not built on limited expectations, but the possibilities—the possibilities for both the stories we tell and the stories we live.
Felt through the hearts, seen through the eyes, and told through the voices of The Lovers, The Poets, The Dreamers, The TimeBenders, and The Artists, the books take readers on a wild and inspired celebration of humanity, possibility, passion, and purpose. They will leave you laughing, dancing, crying, singing, and utterly transformed.
They are a prayer, a kiss on the wind, an apology, a Love story reimagined, rewritten, retold around the flickering fires of the StoryWeaver.
It's here, and more is coming!

ABOUT THE SERIES
7 Books; Audio and Written experience...
In writing this series, I don’t want to orate or evangelize a better world or how we should live, but tell a collective story with compassion, insight, and grace. Although Veil’s Edge reflects on our current society, it's not a story of how we should be–it’s a story of what we could be. The meaning code of my work is embedded in the metaphor and in the mythology in every one of our stories. These books are not a forced bitter pill, but an enlivening ember of possibility...
