The Scarlet Veil BY Shelby Mahurin (paperback) Book 1

Six months after taking her vows as the Chasseurs’ first huntswoman, Célie is still trying to find her place—balancing duty, expectation, and the shadows of her past. With Jean Luc as captain and fiancé, she’s determined to prove herself worthy of the order and of the future she’s building.

But something sinister is stalking Belterra. Bodies are appearing with twin puncture wounds at their throats, and whispers of a new terror spread through the city. As the killings draw closer, Célie feels an unsettling presence watching her… calling to her.

The darkness she’s always feared is no longer distant. It wants her. And the closer it gets, the harder it becomes for Célie to resist the pull of its hunger—and her own.

In this seductive, gothic tale set in the world of Serpent & Dove, Célie must confront the nightmares she’s spent her life avoiding, even if it means facing the monster who might claim her heart as easily as her soul.
