The Between

The Between
The space where memory fades and souls linger, love becomes the only compass.
Antony Greatfield, also known as the actor Dade Holden, is trapped in a coma, drifting in a realm not meant for the living-a shadow compound nestled between heaven and hell, where the minds of the vacant reside. There, in the black desert beyond forgetting, he meets Tabatha Twitched: a woman suspended in a vegetative state, her spirit lucid and luminous in the in-between. She's the caretaker of the vacant, old souls trapped in the Between.
Together they explore the boundaries of this forsaken place, where the sands whisper lost names and a towering wall marks the edge of damnation. Tabatha shows him what lies beyond-the torment of hell-and urges him to repent, to reclaim his life before it's too late.
Antony awakens, changed and desperate to find the woman who saved him. Against all odds, he does. Their love blooms in the waking world, fragile and fierce. But when Antony's jealous ex-lover-and former manager-tears their new life apart, the question remains: was it truly the end, or just another passage through the veil? Was Antony thrust into the dark sands of the Between again, or would God grant him redemption and give him the life with Tabatha that he so craves?
A tale of redemption, metaphysical love, and the thin line between salvation and oblivion, Between the Veil asks, what if the soul remembers what the body forgets?

Nula Botha is a South African author whose love for storytelling began at the age of ten and has carried her through life's most complex emotional landscapes. Now writing full-time from her coastal town in the Western Cape, she draws inspiration from the ocean's quiet strength and the boundless imagination of sci-fi films and historical romances. Her work is deeply rooted in human connection, emotional healing, and the transformative power of love, and she is a believer in love at first sight.
She met her husband at the age of twenty, fell in love, and was married a year later. They have been married for thirty years, and her husband is still the love of her life. Together they raised three beautiful children, acquired three lovely children-in-law, and had the most amazing granddaughter.
A lifelong battle with manic depression and anxiety has shaped her voice into something intimate and fierce—her novels reflect both the scars and the beauty of survival. With her debut romance novel now published, Nula celebrates the beginning of a new creative chapter, inviting readers into stories that echo vulnerability, hope, and desire.
