Beta Eminence In Shadow

Shadowed Veil (Book Two) Six weeks after the fall of Jade and the sealing of the Veil, peace finally touches Silverveil Pack — but it feels fragile, like glass underfoot. Baylee Reeve Vale, once the hunted and the cursed, is now Luna in truth. Her body heals, her bond with Collin deepens, and the life growing inside her glows with quiet power. Yet the scar Jade left in the world hums with strange energy — something ancient, waiting. As Baylee begins to sense whispers from the Veil that only she can hear, her allies prepare for what may come next. Heather stands fiercely at her side, Melody searches for answers in the ruins of prophecy, and Collin tightens the defenses of every border. But even as the packs rebuild, the Moon remains silent — and silence, they learn, is not mercy. When a wounded stranger emerges from the scar bearing the mark of an unknown god, Baylee realizes Jade’s fall was not the end but a beginning. The balance between realms has shifted, and the child she carries may be the key — or the catalyst — to what comes next. Torn between protecting her family and uncovering the truth, Baylee must face her destiny once again… Because peace was never the Moon’s final gift. It was her warning.
