Publisher's Synopsis
The Unveiled
Beyond the veil lies the truth only they can see...
At prestigious Blackwood Academy, scholarship student Eva Moreno walks among the wealthy elite feeling like an outsider. The ancient stone walls seem to watch her, the whispers follow her through torch-lit corridors, and the legacy students eye her with suspicion and disdain. But Eva's sense of not belonging runs deeper than class differences-a truth she's about to discover in the most terrifying way.
When Eva learns that Isabela Ruiz, the previous scholarship recipient, vanished without a trace just weeks before her sudden admission, her unease blossoms into fear. Then a surprise journal arrives at her dormitory door belonging to Isabela', its pages filled with frantic warnings and impossible visions. The journal reveals a horrifying truth: Blackwood isn't merely a school but a sanctuary for an ancient order that thrives on blood sacrifice and dark power.
As Día de los Muertos approaches and the veil between worlds grows thin, Eva's dormant abilities awaken-she can see the dead, feel their pain, hear their warnings. This unwanted gift becomes both her greatest blessing and most dangerous curse. In a school where trust is a luxury she cannot afford, Eva finds herself caught between two magnetic forces: Leo Sinclair, the charismatic legacy student with family ties to Blackwood's innermost circle who seems determined to protect her, and Mateo Velasco, her enigmatic history teacher whose knowledge of the occult and mysterious past may hold the key to her survival.
The clock is ticking as strange symbols appear on campus walls, students report seeing shadowy figures in abandoned corridors, and Eva's dreams become increasingly prophetic. The dead are restless, trying desperately to warn her.
Eva must decipher Isabela's cryptic messages and uncover centuries of Blackwood's bloody secrets before she becomes the next to disappear beyond the veil, where horrors worse than death await the uninitiated. Because the Order has been watching Eva since before she arrived-they believe she possesses something within her bloodline that could awaken an ancient power long dormant beneath Blackwood's foundations.
A chilling blend of supernatural horror, dark academia, and forbidden romance, The Unveiled weaves Latin American folklore with gothic terrors to create a haunting tale of power, sacrifice, and identity. Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo's Ninth House, V.E. Schwab's A Darker Shade of Magic, and Silvia Moreno-Garcia's Mexican Gothic.
