A PARANORMAL SUSPENSE BASED ON END-TIME PROPHECY AND ON THE REAL-LIFE PHENOMENON OF INFANTS BORN WITH THE VEIL. Also known as the birth caul, this mysterious, translucent tissue covers the faces of some rare infants at the time of birth.
After centuries shrouded in mystery and myth, the time of revelation has finally arrived for those born with the veil. But, exactly what is the veil? Is there a sinister significance attached to it; a divine connection; or is it just an innocent and natural accident of birth? Does being born in the caul mark one as piously saintly, hellishly satanic or neither?
After centuries shrouded in mystery and myth, the time of revelation has finally arrived for those born with the veil. But, exactly what is the veil? Is there a sinister significance attached to it; a divine connection; or is it just an innocent and natural accident of birth? Does being born in the caul mark one as piously saintly, hellishly satanic or neither?
At last the world is poised to uncover the centuries old secrets of the veil; finally learning its purpose and impact, not just on veil babies, but on the entire world.
Alexis Ashley is somehow drawn into this web of intrigue when she decides to relocate from Chicago to Boston. On the long drive east things go completely awry as she finds herself challenged by multiple frightening, life-threatening incidents; an seasonable April blizzard; being stalked by a strangely intelligent and rabid dog; a dangerous bridge washout; and a near collision with another car. Finally arriving safely at her Boston destination, however she brushes it all off as coincidence, and happily begins her new life.
Then, more terrifying situations begin to unfold: Satanists with mysterious designs on her life; demons hiding within the bodies and lives of those they've possessed; and visions peopled with those long dead. Outwardly, Alexis appears to live an ordinary, normal life when in fact she's living with unspeakably frightening horrors that threaten not only her sanity, but possibly even her life.
Afraid that time is somehow running out, she feels trapped by forces she can't control or stop, and desperately seeks to solve the puzzle of these strange occurrences and what she believes is a connection to the veil that marked her birth ... before it is too late.
