About the Book

They escaped a revolution—but the revolution never let them go.

In the glittering heart of Houston, six Persian friends carve out new lives, hiding the shadows of a past they can never truly escape. At their quiet center is Leila, a shy, brilliant mind burdened by a secret invention that could shatter an empire.

When murder stalks the sunlit streets of Sugar Land, long-buried dangers surface. Enemies once left behind are closer than they appear, and unfinished battles demand to be fought. As suspicion festers and deadly truths rise, Leila must decide: remain silent and survive, or step forward and ignite a reckoning decade in the making.

Whispers Under the Veil is a haunting thriller of sisterhood, survival, and resistance, inspired by real events.

The history is true. The dangers are real.
The names have been changed to protect those who still walk in the crosshairs of an unforgiving regime.
