Thelma: a Veilwalker Legacy Novel

Some legacies are not meant to be inherited.Set during the era of slavery in the American South, Thelma is a powerful standalone historical novel that explores how silence, control, and stolen bloodlines shape generations.Thelma arrives on the Williams plantation young and watchful, learning quickly which truths are safe to speak and which must be buried. When her lover is brutally punished for attempting to escape, she learns that hope can be fatal. When her children are taken from her under the guise of order and necessity, she learns that mercy often arrives too late to be justice.Yet Thelma is not a woman who breaks loudly.She listens.She counts.She remembers.As rumors swirl around her surviving child and power cloaks itself in benevolence, Thelma makes a decision that will alter the fate of her lineage forever. What she sets in motion is not vengeance, but interruption—ensuring that love, marriage, inheritance, and legitimacy can never move forward cleanly without truth.Written with lyrical restraint and moral clarity, Thelma is a haunting meditation on motherhood, ancestral memory, and the unseen forces that govern legacy. It is the foundation of the Veilwalker Legacy, and a story that lingers long after the final page.Perfect for readers of:Toni Morrison, Octavia Butler, Jesmyn Ward, and historical novels with spiritual depth.
