In a city where art remembers what the living forget, one woman discovers that beauty has learned how to breathe.
Evelyn Halden has spent her life restoring paintings that seem to remember her name. When a forbidden pigment begins to stir beneath centuries of varnish, she's drawn into a quiet war between light and memory-one fought not with weapons, but with breath.
As she and a reclusive art historian uncover the pigment's origins, London itself begins to change. Mirrors refuse to reflect. Canvases fog with unseen lungs. The air grows sentient-and curious. To stop the spreading breath beneath the paint, Evelyn must unmake the one thing that has kept her alive: her memory of creation.
Mysterious, lyrical, and deeply haunting, The Hollow Veil is a gothic literary thriller about the boundaries between art and soul, and what happens when the past decides it no longer wants to be silent.
For readers of gothic mysteries, literary thrillers, and haunting stories where art becomes a living witness.
