To save her grandfather, she'll have to survive the Amazon. To find the truth, she'll have to cross the Veil.
In 1908, fifteen-year-old Ramona Grey lives a quiet, scamp-like existence in Key West, caring for her dying grandfather. As the legendary explorer who first discovered a miracle serum within the Amazon Rainforest, he now relies on that very medicine to live. But now, the world's supply is gone.
The tyrannical Authority has hoarded the final drops, leaving cities in darkness and the sick in despair. When the U.S. Navy and the Authority launch a covert expedition to find the hidden source-a magical portal buried deep in the labyrinth of the Amazon-they coerce Ramona's grandfather into leading the way. Used as leverage in their deadly bargain, Ramona is thrust headfirst into a perilous journey.
SONGBIRDS OF THE VEIL is an upmarket, lyrical YA crossover historical fantasy combining the rich, atmospheric worldbuilding of Alix E. Harrow's 'The Ten Thousand Doors of January' with the high-stakes survival and dark adventure of G. Willow Wilson's 'The Bird King.'
