Description
When everything that defines you is stripped away, who do you become?
War has invaded Atalanta's
quiet villages and lush woodlands, igniting whispered worries in its glittering
capitol. Far from the front lines, 18-year-old Aris Haan, a talented wingjet
flyer, has little cause for concern. Until her beloved Calix is thrust into the
fray, and a stranger makes her an impossible offer: the chance to join a secret
army of women embedded within the all-male military.
Aris's choice to follow Calix
to war will do more than put her in physical danger; it will make her question
everything she believes about herself. When she and her enigmatic commander
uncover a deadly conspiracy, her expert flying may be the only hope for her
dominion's survival...and her own.
It's Mulan meets Battlestar Galactica, with a heroine who is strong
enough to save a nation...but only if she's willing to sacrifice everything,
even the one promise she swore she'd never break.
Advance Praise
"What starts as a tale of star-crossed romance quickly evolves into a gripping page-turner, with gender roles and identity explored and questioned at every turn." ~ STARRED REVIEW, Publishers Weekly
"Vaguely reminiscent of Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games (2008) and Lois Lowry's The Giver (1993), this tale quickly takes off in its own imaginative direction...Part mystery, part romance, part sci-fi, Banghart's fast-paced exploration of loyalty, identity and commitment is entertaining and intriguing." ~ Kirkus Reviews
"Shattered Veil is a heart-crushing, edge-of-your-seat, wild ride of love and war. A must read for fans of science fiction, romance, or just plain good books." ~ Jennifer Walkup, author of Second Verse
"This book compels the reader forward, almost each chapter a single scene, as if meant to be filmed. It rises above well-tread territory of a futuristic world at war as it alternates between Aris’s personal conflicts and the larger global one, the details of both well conveyed." 4 Stars, San Francisco Book Review
"Everything, from plot to characters to setting to writing style was wonderfully executed." ~ More Than One Page blog
"Aris/Aristos, the main character of Shattered Veil gives me everything I want in a believable and empathetic character. She feels real to me--and I LIKE her. I'd want her to be my friend if I met her in real life." ~ Ali Cross, author of Blood Crown
