Behind the Veil – eARC

Advance Reader Copy
Unproofed


In the world of the cutthroat augmented reality game TransDimensional Hunter, Lynn Raven must outsmart stalker fans and a rogue algorithm, forcing her to push her limits to survive and win the championship.

Truth is stranger than fiction . . . and it’ll kill you a whole lot faster.

When Lynn Raven set out to win the championship for groundbreaking augmented reality game TransDimensional Hunter, the worst she thought she’d face was sunburn, mosquito bites, and annoying spectators.

The more she plays, though, the higher the stakes become—and the stranger the obstacles she has to face.

From dodging fans-turned-stalker to managing inter-team sabotage to surviving the increasingly bizarre antics of a game algorithm that seems to have it out for her, Lynn isn’t sure how much more she can take.

And then the other shoe drops.

If Lynn has any hope of coming out alive and on top, she’ll have to up her game beyond anything she thought possible.

And even that might not be enough.
