{"product_id":"the-shifting-veil-denise-grote-9798245045955","title":"The Shifting Veil","description":"The Shifting Veil follows the Oakhaven Keepers as they navigate a world where the boundary between the town of Oakhaven and the magical realm of Aethelgard is no longer a wall, but a translucent membrane. While the veil was stabilized in previous adventures, it now allows constant \"bleed-throughs\" of magic into everyday life. The original five Keepers-Leo, Maya, Sam, Chloe, and Noah-along with their parents, struggle with the exhaustion of managing frequent magical anomalies like the \"Winter Bloom\" (a sudden patch of glowing flowers) and mischievous sprites that tangle shoelaces and hide keys.\u003cbr\u003eRecognizing that their current system of reactive containment is unsustainable, the group decides they must expand their ranks. They identify two local children with unique sensitivities-Finn Peterson and Lily Chen-and provide them with a \"controlled initial discovery\" of Aethelgard to prepare them for their future roles. The tension peaks when a Glow-Stag, a majestic magical creature, accidentally crosses into Oakhaven, requiring the combined skills of the veteran Keepers and the new apprentices to safely return it home using a resonance chamber. The story concludes with the successful passing of the torch, as Finn and Lily are officially welcomed as full-fledged Keepers, ready to face an increasingly unveiled future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Denise Grote,Kevin Grote\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798245045955\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/21\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Denise Grote","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49171950600447,"sku":"9798245045955","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-shifting-veil-denise-grote-9798245045955","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
