Andarta
(2024)(The first book in the Ascending Veil series)
A novel by Sloane Kennedy and Leanne Staback
When legends awake, darkness trembles.
In the pulsing heart of Seraphim City, twins Emilia and Clara Benning walk a path veiled in the shadows of myth. Raised on tales of their fierce Viking ancestors, they are unaware of the destiny awaiting them. As the modern world grinds on, unseeing, the sisters draw closer to a revelation that will ignite the ancient power slumbering within their blood.
The cruel blight of human trafficking festers in the city's underbelly, claiming innocent lives in a relentless grip. It is a plague that yearns for a cure-a cure that only Emilia and Clara, human hosts to ancient deities Andarta and Eir - dare to provide. With the unwavering strength of the gods and the courage of warriors, they stand between the darkness and the light.
But the battle for justice demands a terrible price. In the chaos of a harrowing rescue, Clara is lost, and Emilia's grief ignites a fury that heralds her awakening. The true powers of Andarta flare to life, a beacon of rage and retribution. As Emilia becomes the embodiment of a legend, survival hinges on her ability to harness this newfound might and confront the demons that threaten to consume her.
In the midst of battle, Andarta, her steadfast sidekick Ty, and a legion of spectral Viking forebearers converge for an epic showdown. Together, they must dismantle a vile web spun by the most depraved of minds, their every move haunted by the chilling echoes of evil.
Can they break the chains of torment and rise triumphant? Or will Emilia's fury consume all that she has come to cherish? Will the echoes of ancient valor be enough to conquer the malice that lurks in humanity's depths? Seek the answers within the pages of Andarta, The Ascending Veil, Book 1, where the battle for souls is timeless, and the might of legends endures.
