Tempest: The Veil Chronicles, Book One
Description
To unearth the truth, she must embrace the legend within.
For eighteen-year-old Lexi, freedom is a luxury. She's spent her life evading capture for a genetic gift that feels more like a curse. Her bulletproof immunity and monstrous disfigurement is of great interest to a secret organization, but they aren't the only ones. A cryptic tip alerts Lexi that something else hunts her-something darker.
Desperate to enjoy her life before it's too late, Lexi leaves the protective cocoon her parents created for her and signs up for art classes at her local college. There she meets Conner, who is confined to a wheelchair, and they become friends who are willing to share each other's secrets. But a chance encounter with Connor's foster brother Killian changes everything.
Killian shares the same mysterious secret within his blood as Lexi. Their fateful meeting sets off a chain reaction of catastrophic events that exposes the terrifying truth-Lexi is a celestial queen of a bygone race. Connor is their last royal heir, and Killian is a half-breed abomination hated for his very existence. With Connor kidnapped by an ancient god determined to rid the world of the stain of humanity, Lexi and Killian find themselves under the protection of the secretive Order of Kings.
Lexi believes she's been thrown into a world of myths and legends, but things are not as they seem. Lexi becomes convinced the Order is keeping dangerous secrets that threaten not just her but all of mankind.

About the Author
Growing up on her grandfather's centuries-old farm, filled with mysterious stories and curious woodland, Clare's imagination was forever inspired by the fantastical and the unseen. Her love of fantasy books, fairy-tales, and the hand-me-down folklore tales from generations before became the foundations for her story-building craft. She graduated from the University of Ulster with a BSC Hons in Occupational Therapy. But it was during her first few years of work in her field and her ongoing life experiences with illness and disability that have helped her develop a sharp eye for memorable personalities and gripping plots.
By early 2014 Clare had joined the world of fanfiction and started to post an alternative universe, retelling of one of JRR Tolkien's most memorable characters. Her serial fanfiction, The ElvenKing, is a popular hit on websites such as FanFiction.net and Wattpad, with over 2 million reads, thousands of reviews, and hosts of fans. Clare has continued to thrill internet audiences with her quirky retellings and alternative worlds. Her fanfic has won popular awards across all platforms and she is internationally known as the No. 1 fanfic author in her genre.
