The Revelation of Light and Dark by Sawyer Bennett

The Revelation of Light and Dark (Chronicles of the Stone Veil, #1)

by Sawyer Bennett

I always knew I was different.

From a young age, my mind has been plagued with things only I could see. Some hauntingly beautiful, others completely terrifying. Never knowing if these visions were real or just hallucinations, I learned how to lock them down and ignore them. I learned to take solace in the relative anonymity of city life and find peace in the rainy days my city of Seattle is known for.

But just when I think my life is getting on track and my dreams are achievable, a moment of weakness causes me to learn a hard and fast lesson.

My entire existence has been a lie.

Now I’m faced with a new reality that’s as implausible as it is fantastical. Filled with realms and veils, light and dark, fae and daemons, gods and angels—things I don’t understand but am forced to acknowledge. It doesn’t help that the man teaching me about my unique gifts is the gorgeously handsome Carrick Byrne, one of Seattle’s richest and most powerful men. He intimidates, annoys, and intrigues me all at the same time. I don’t trust him and yet there’s no one else to help me.

No longer certain who to put my faith in, what to believe, or how I fit into it all, one revelation is clear…

The world as I know it will never be the same again.

The Revelation of Light and Dark is the beginning of a new paranormal urban fantasy series The Chronicles of the Stone Veil.

Finley is a barista living in Seattle who comes to realize that she has the ability to see beyond the veil, the glamour of the Fae. Carrick is one of the richest men in Seattle and he has a vested interest in Finley and her abilities.

Mystery, magic, fae and demons all play a part in the first installment of The Chronicles of the Stone Veil series. The book starts off a little slow for my liking as we go through the backstory, which is common at the beginning of a series. The ending has me looking forward to the next book in the series.

"...despite how much he confuses me on any given day, he's the only one who can see me through to salvation."
