Some mysteries were never meant to be solved. They were meant to be erased.
Rose Blackthorn has been found, but her return has awakened something far older than the Lantern Society.
As forgotten thresholds begin to reappear, Elara Finch and her friends uncover the truth behind the hidden Lantern Council, the mysterious Sixth Light, and the children the Society tried to forget.
But the deeper Elara digs, the more personal the mystery becomes.
Milo’s death may not have been final.
Her father may still exist along an unresolved path.
And the ancient system known as the Last Room is waking.
Long ago, five families were trusted with five supernatural authorities: Choice, Memory, Closure, Belonging and Witness. When those powers could not agree, they created something greater than themselves—a final authority capable of deciding which version of reality should survive.
Now that system wants control again.
To stop it, Elara must do the one thing the original Lantern Council never believed possible: share power instead of controlling it.
But with people and places disappearing from existence, time is running out.
The old Council believed every mystery needed one final answer.
Elara is about to prove them wrong.
The Lantern Society Mysteries is Book Five of The Veilkeeper Chronicles, an atmospheric supernatural mystery series filled with impossible doors, forgotten histories, ghosts, secret societies and found family.
