Beneath the Veil — Sarah Michelle Lynch

The first novel in The Ravage Trilogy... In 2023, a terrifying viral outbreak changed the world forever. Forty years later, fearsome New York journalist Seraph Maddon travels to England to attend the funeral of her last-remaining relative, bridal shop owner Eve. Long-hidden truths await her that will not only make her question her place in the world, but may also hold the key to unlocking the facts about the terrible events of four decades ago. As she heads home, a chance encounter with ex-army doctor turned virologist Ryken Hardy sends the pair on an explosive journey through the crumbling, desolate landscape of a once-thriving nation, as they delve deeper into a conspiracy that will test them to the limit. Love and courage will be their most potent weapons as they head toward a meeting with destiny, and terrible sacrifices may need to be made to expose the truth once and for all.
