Beyond the Veil Book 13 of The Gifted Series
Born in an unforgiving land, Hope has only ever been able to count on her parents and twin sister. A chance encounter with three fierce women shows Hope there is more to everyday life than fight or flight. Jeremiah has taken it upon himself to protect those he considers family from the constant threat of Fomorians. When a rescue mission turns into a battle for his life, Jeremiah stumbles across the one thing he never expected: his mate. The thought of returning home had become a distant fantasy, but when Jeremiah and Hope decide to live their lives surrounded by danger, they will do anything to turn that fantasy into reality. For more years than she can count, Rika has been held prisoner by the Fomorians. Cut off from all contact, Rika battles each day for her own sanity. This is the Fomorians tactic, bending their hostages until they become pliant-but Rika refuses to break. Daku is dropped into a strange, harsh world with one goal: find the girl from his dreams and get out. When Jeremiah takes him under his wing, Daku realizes his task may not just be difficult, it may be impossible. Refusing to give up, Daku trains in fighting and survival and is relentless in his search for Rika. As years pass and the boy turns into a man, Daku remains as devoted to his mission as he is to his new family. What that family doesn't realize is, Daku is the key to their greatest desire: going home again.
