"An intriguing speculative novel... The prose is elegant."
- Foreword Clarion Reviews

When brilliant but guarded scientist Mara Ellison joins a perilous expedition into the forbidden Escondido Basin, the last thing she expects is to fall for Elias Grant, the disgraced adventurer who understands the jungle in ways no one else can.

But the forest they enter is alive, intelligent, and achingly aware of them... especially Elias.

As dreams turn palpable, vines whisper in familiar voices, and an ancient Queen awakens with designs of her own, Mara must fight to save her team of explorers from the deadly mercenaries on their trail... and the expansive grip of The Green Heart, itself.

Beneath the Verdant Veil is a lush, slow-burn romantic eco-thriller where danger, desire, and destiny twist like living roots, and sacrifice blooms in the deepest green.

"Beneath the Verdant Veil" is Book #1 in Liminal Loves, a series of dark romantic tales born from folklore, myth, and the strange spaces where human meets the uncanny.

From the pen of Veronica Thorne.
