Veiled Halos

A Saga of Betrayal and Redemption

Some halos are worn.

Some are lived in secret.

And some, in the end, are simply signed.

Story Description

Popayán, 1923. A fourth child is born into the Rendón family as Holy Week processions wind through streets scented with incense and rain. His mother cradles him with the certainty that God has chosen this one for something. His father counts, again, the futures he can afford to give.

What follows is a sweeping story across generations — from the cane fields of Valle del Cauca to the city of Cali and the wide distances of the American West. Three brothers build their lives from what the century allows: faith and stubbornness, ambition and silence, love that cannot be named, and grief that never quite finds its voice.

When their mother’s will is read in a lawyer’s office smelling of lemon polish and old paper, long-buried truths rise to the surface.

Veiled Halos is a multi-generational family saga about inheritance in every sense — land, faith, grievance, memory, and the stories families tell to survive the ones they cannot share.

This is a story where power doesn’t announce itself - it disguises itself as love, legality, and care…

Beyond grateful!

Early reviews from ARC  & Beta readers of Veiled Halos by Inger Johnson

I’ve started hearing back from some early ARC & Beta readers for Veiled Halos… and honestly, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude.

One of the hardest parts of writing is wondering if your story will resonate with anyone.

Watching early readers respond emotionally to Veiled Halos, my debut novel, has reminded me of a strong reason why we write in the first place.

The Muzo Emerald Murders

When the flawless Muzo emeralds vanish from a secure vault beneath Bogota, the theft is brazen but the message left behind is far more chilling.

The green wars return. Your silence, or your life.
