Sixteen-year-old Aisling Gallagher thought moving to the small town of Nutfield would mean starting over. She didn't expect strange dreams, impossible visions, or a connection to three new friends that feels older than any of them. As Aisling, J.T., Eric, and Sabina grow closer, unsettling events begin piling up-and so do the questions. A mysterious necklace seems determined to get Aisling's attention. Abilities none of them can explain begin to surface. And the more they uncover, the clearer it becomes that their friendship may not be coincidence at all. Something has brought them together. Something ancient is waking. And whatever is coming may already know exactly who they are. Consanguinity, the first book in The Veilshard Chronicles, is a YA supernatural fantasy filled with friendship, romance, mystery, emerging powers, and the discovery that some connections reach far beyond blood.
