Awakening Veiled Identity
In the wake of a devastating war, four fae generals fled Zylenia, desperate to preserve their kind. Kyrosia was conceived as a sanctuary, but over time, darkness took root.
Their descendants created the Founders Council, which reigns with complete control over Kyrosia. Their hunger for power grew with each generation, until it became insatiable. This craving corrupted the council, leading them to conceal their true actions and weave a tapestry of secrets, each generation burying the truth deeper.
For Aurora, the Founders represent everything she despises, from their oppressive rule to their blatant misogyny. She wants nothing to do with them, their traditions, or their lies. As the Awakening Ceremony looms, a ritual she sees as a symbol of their control, she becomes anxious for answers about her birth parents. She hopes the truth will reveal her destiny, but her search is cut short when she inadvertently awakens a dangerous force, threatening herself and everyone around her.

An incredible new adult fantasy debut. Packed with steamy angst, hidden mystery, and budding powers, Santos is a fresh voice on the indie fantasy scene and she can't be missed! This novel ends with a heck of a cliffhanger. Get it on your list, NOW!

ARC Review
Thank you to the author herself for the opportunity ❤️
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A captivating blend of mystery, emotion, and self-discovery
Awakening: Veiled Identity pulled me in from the very first chapter. The author does a great job building intrigue and weaving together themes of identity, trust, and transformation. The pacing kept me engaged—there were just enough twists to keep me guessing without feeling rushed or confusing.
I really enjoyed the main character’s journey of uncovering the truth about herself and those around her. The emotional depth felt genuine, and the relationships added a nice layer of tension and heart. The writing style was descriptive without being overdone, and the world felt vivid and real.
My only minor critique is that a few sections could have used a bit more development or scenes that I had hoped to witness, but overall it didn’t take away from the story’s impact.
If you like stories with mystery, inner strength, and a touch of suspense, this one’s definitely worth reading. A strong debut (or installment) that leaves me curious to see what comes next!

After putting reading on pause for a while for motherhood, I jumped right into this novel and finished it in a day and a half! I COULDN’T PUT IT DOWN! The suspense, the unknown, the hidden gems through out, you won’t stop either! Kacie Santos is going to make it big, mark my words! Just when you thought you read every genre and knew what to expect, BOOM, here’s the new breath to reading! This is a MUST READ!!!
