Legacy Drift : A Supernatural Thriller (The Stardust Veil Book 1)

Scientist Elora Quinn has been trapped in a death loop since 1933, reliving her final night repeatedly after being murdered for research that uncovered something vast and dangerous. She exists in a place where ghosts speak but cannot fully explain their surroundings. When the loop fractures, a maintainer from beyond the veil arrives in Nashville to investigate a disturbance beneath the city's limestone. Elora becomes an anomaly he cannot ignore. Together, they investigate missing spirits, broken harmonies, and a hidden mechanism that feeds on what should be freed. Someone has rerouted the afterlife itself, and ghosts are merely what remains. The story combines dark academia, Southern gothic, cosmic horror, sci-fi thriller, time-loop mystery, dual perspectives, found family, reluctant allies, metaphysical worldbuilding, and conspiracy thriller elements.
