When the Veil Thins
Book One of the Finding Magic After Forty Series
Catherine Ashworth is a woman with a logical mind and a life in quiet disarray. Grieving a marriage that faded into silence and grappling with a sense of invisibility that midlife often brings, she returns to her ancestral home in Scotland, seeking peace, but finding something far older stirring beneath the land.
There, in the shifting light of the Ochil Hills and the shadow of ancient sacred springs, Catherine discovers that the veil between worlds is thin, and she may be the key to holding it in place. A bloodline whispered through generations, a grimoire bound in secrecy, and a realm filled with beings both beautiful and brutal await her awakening.
When the Veil Thins is a story of rediscovery, enchantment, and quiet power. It's for anyone who’s ever felt overlooked, only to realise that the second half of life might just hold the greatest magic of all.
