Discover Sarah’s Debut Novel
There are consequences for crossing the veil . . . and losing her memories is the least of them.
When Anolli awakes inside the magical veil—trapped without her memories and her identity in a hostile village with its own hidden evil—the countdown begins.
Hunted by enchanted vines that respond to her every move, she is armed with nothing but the terrifying instinct to reach for a blade that’s no longer there. However, protection comes in an unexpected form, from a stranger whose warmth feels like a home she can’t remember.
Fragments of her old life emerge, along with her forbidden powers. Anolli is positive she never meant to invoke the curse’s wrath, but the longer it takes for her to remember her purpose, the more innocent lives pay the price.

About Sarah
Sarah Hayes was raised in the amazing dry heat of far-northern California where she graduated with her teaching credential, started her family known as “Hurricane Hayes”, worked in the church, and discovered her love for writing while her children napped. After four and a half years of finally putting her credential to use homeschooling, her family jumped into the steam-bath land of southeastern Tennessee where her children re-entered the public-school world (covered in prayers by their mama). There, Sarah once again disappeared into the land of daydreams and writing, and despite the humidity, still resides in Tennessee where she gets to dedicate time to working on her debut series, Marked by the Maker.
