About this audiobook
The SMOKE THAT THUNDERS series begins at Victoria Falls, where the Zambezi River plunges into shadowed gorges beneath endless clouds of silver spray rising into the African sky like the breath of sleeping gods. Tourists arrive seeking beauty. Adrenaline. Luxury eco-lodges suspended above the rainforest. Sunset cruises through molten orange water while hippos surface beneath impossible rainbows.
But beneath the spectacle, something older waits inside the mist.
The Veil is breaking.
At the center of the series stands Bristilla Sullivan, a climate researcher who arrives at Mosi-oa-Tunya believing ecological collapse can still be measured safely through science and distance. Guarded and emotionally disconnected from the grief hidden beneath her work, she expects data and folklore.
Instead, she finds Thryn Mosi. The Guardian.
What starts as slow-burning attraction beneath rainforest canopies quickly deepens into something far more dangerous when desire and grief collide beneath the Veil.
