Veilborn : a Companion Novel to Cling

She learned how to survive long before she learned how to stay.Maris was shaped by absence early. Passed from hand to hand as a child, she grows into adulthood fluent in restraint—alert to shifts in tone, practiced in endurance, careful not to need too much.Faith does not enter her life as relief.Not as rescue.But as interruption.In Veilborn, God does not soften the story or hurry its healing. He remains near it. What unfolds is not a narrative of arrival, but of unveiling—of learning the difference between clinging and presence, between vigilance and love.Written with restraint and clarity, Veilborn is a literary novel about attachment, trauma, and faith that does not demand performance. It is for readers who have learned how to endure quietly, who are weary of being strong, and who are beginning to ask whether staying might be possible without fear.This is not a story about becoming someone else.It is about uncovering what was hidden long enough to survive—and discovering whether it is safe, at last, to remain.Veilborn is a companion novel to CLING, and can be read on its own.
