David Jordan is a teacher of languages and archeology. He has saved for a once in a lifetime trip to Egypt, but he now faces the worse type of slavery imaginable for a man. David is frightened of what the future holds, but a pair of brown eyes seems to share gentleness and the hope of escape. Robert Charteris is the owner of said eyes and will become David’s savior. He has made it a personal mission to assist those forced into slavery, but David is different. David is the man who will help Robert’s heart beat once more with freely flowing love.

Stevie Woods has written a captivating historical novel in Beyond the Veil. The characters draw you not only into the tale itself, but also into the time. I enjoy how Stevie doesn’t just give you a story, but touches on history and delivers a bit of your past intertwined with interesting characters and plots. All of the characters seemed to have some internal struggle they had to overcome. We are able to watch them draw on not only inner strength but also strength from their loved ones to overcome their conflict. David and Robert’s love grew in leaps and bound, and their relationship had a gradual precession. If you enjoy battles on the high seas, traveling to exotic locations and men who love men, then you truly should not miss an opportunity to read Stevie Woods' Beyond the Veil.
