Veyra: Book One: The Heart Between Doors

Some doors open only for love.After an emergency birth, a devastating storm, and the loss of the life she thought she was building, Mara has one purpose left: keep her newborn son, Theo, safe.But when a stolen family heirloom known as the Heart of the World leads her into a hidden realm of living forests, ancient doors, talking trees, fairy routes, and secret enemies, Mara discovers that safety is not a place you find.It is something you build.With her husband Matt, her luminous sister Lila, the fierce Thalen guardian Nia, and the helpers who arrive when the world grows darkest, Mara must learn the truth of Veyra: the invisible force of love, memory, courage, and protection made visible.Hunting them is Rake Harrow, a cruel man with a crooked mind and a hunger for whatever makes people whole. Behind him waits the Open Hand, a hidden network that steals doors, histories, and power from those too tired to fight back.To survive, Mara and her family must pass through doors of truth, memory, danger, joy, love, and grief, each one changing them, each one bringing them closer to the stolen Heart.But when Rake finds a way into the places no wall can protect, Mara learns the most frightening truth of all: even the mind can become a door.Veyra: The Heart Between Doors is a sweeping fantasy about motherhood, survival, hidden worlds, inherited courage, and the love that refuses to disappear.
