HIDDEN: Don't Fear the Unseen (2021)
Are DEMONS and ANGELS, like vampires and werewolves, merely legend and lore? Or is there more to life than meets the eye?
After the unexpected death of her older brother, high schooler Clare Thomson's world is shaken, and she grasps for security in what's close at hand—popularity. But when even those tenuous relationships quake, she finds herself truly alone. Or so she thinks until she accidentally discovers a pair of aviator sunglasses that forever changes the way she sees the world.
When an invisible reality is made visible, and gruesome ape-like demons threaten to take away even her sense of sanity, Clare must face the truth: Angels and demons are real. And they live among us.

Verity Lucia's debut novel is an inspiring story of a girl learning to cope with loss, doubt, and high school. A gritty, fast-paced story you will not want to put down.

Filled with real conflicts and typical teenage struggles combined with a hint of fantasy, Hidden is a fast-paced story that will capture the reader's attention and keep them on the edge of their seat. Authentically Catholic and hopeful, this suspenseful story will not only entertain teens but can challenge them to believe that the light of Christ will always overcome the darkness."

Book 2 of the HIDDEN Series
(A Pro-life Novel)
​
Praise for SECRETS
"Today's teens live in a world where the pro-life movement seems to be reduced to polarizing sound bites and social media arguments. In Secrets: The Truth Will Out, author Verity Lucia invites teen readers into a story that adds a different perspective. Recognizable characters and the struggles they face allow the reader to consider the deep layers involved in living out our belief in the dignity of the human person. This page-turner novel weaves an important message into its intriguing story, using a touch of fantasy within the overall suspense. Powerful as a stand-alone, it also adds a piece of the puzzle to the overall Hidden series. I really liked how each book included some of the same events but from a different character's point of view, reminding us that there is value in seeing something through the eyes of another. I highly recommend this series to teen readers, and hope that it sparks important conversations with parents and teachers."
