The Veil Lantern

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator.
The Veil Lantern draws readers into the climactic conclusion of the Relics of the Shattered Veil Trilogy, as Daybridge teeters on the brink of dimensional collapse. After the events with the Storm Glass, Detective Alice Chen and her partner Ethan Reeves discover an ancient lantern rumored to illuminate the boundaries between worlds. When a series of ritualistic murders leaves victims drained of essence and partially transformed into light, the detectives realize someone is using the Veil Lantern to permanently breach the dimensional barriers protecting their city.

As reality fractures around them, Alice and Ethan must navigate a Daybridge transformed by the combined power of all three relics—the Bone Compass, the Storm Glass, and now the Veil Lantern. With former allies turned adversaries and the truth about their own connections to these artifacts finally revealed, the detectives face their most personal case yet. The Veil Lantern offers illumination in more ways than one, exposing not just the path forward but the shadows Alice and Ethan have been running from all along. In this final confrontation, they must decide what sacrifices they're willing to make to save Daybridge—and which version of their city is worth saving.
