The Keeper of the Veil

Book One of the Veil Saga

De: Jack Calder

Narrado por: Glenn Boychuck

What if the world you know is protected only by a thin veil separating us from creatures born of myth?

James Crable has lived through centuries of war, betrayal, and faith twisted into fear. An immortal who has spent nearly a thousand years facing the things that slip through the boundary between worlds, he’s watched empires rise and fall and survived horrors most humans never knew existed. But when the Veil begins to unravel in a quiet Ohio town, the dangers that emerge are unlike anything he’s ever seen. And to stop them, Crable must face a past he thought he’d left behind.

The Keeper of the Veil blends urban fantasy with the sweep of historical epic, shifting from storm-soaked medieval battlefields to modern-day supernatural warfare. It’s a story of loyalty tested across lifetimes, a legacy broken and fought for again, and the impossible line between protecting humanity and losing what’s left of your own. With sharp humor, vivid characters marked by centuries of scars, and a world where the past never stays buried, Jack Calder’s debut introduces a warrior who’s lived too long to believe in easy answers.

Calder writes with the grit of historical fiction and the imagination of urban fantasy, grounding supernatural conflict in real places and real consequences. If you’ve burned through Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files or devoured Kevin Hearne’s Iron Druid Chronicles, The Keeper of the Veil offers the next step, an immortal protagonist whose wounds run deeper than his enemies, action that leaves marks, and a world where magic doesn’t fix problems, it creates new ones.

The Veil is lifting. What comes through will change everything.
