Welcome to Veil's Edge
In the Veil’s Edge fantastical/fantasy/magical realism series of 7 books, Carla Atherton weaves together everything from ancient and mystic wisdom, cosmology, the internal sciences, magick, dreamplay, and mythology with the social, political, personal, and relational challenges we face today, to create a more beautiful world, not built on limited expectations, but the possibilities—the possibilities for both the stories we tell and the stories we live.
The books take readers on a wild and inspired ride through humanity, possibility, passion, and purpose. They will leave you laughing, dancing, crying, singing, and utterly transformed.
They are a prayer, a kiss on the wind, an apology, a Love story reimagined, rewritten for us all, for you.
It's coming!

ABOUT THE SERIES
7 Books; audio and written experience...
In writing this series, I don’t want to orate or evangelize a better world or how we should live, but tell a collective story with compassion, insight, and grace. Although Veil’s Edge reflects on our current society, it is not a story of how we should be–it’s a story of what we could be. The meaning code of my work is embedded in the metaphor and in the mythology that resides in every one of our stories. My books are not a forced bitter pill but an enlivening ember of possibility...
