Leanne Staback and Sloane Kennedy are co-authors on a mission to merge storytelling with social impact. With the release of Andarta - The Ascending Veil, Book 1, the first installment in their groundbreaking fantasy series, The Ascending Veil, they delve into a magical world that reflects one of society's gravest issues: human trafficking. Through their fictional universe, Staback and Kennedy weave a powerful narrative that sheds light on the reality of human trafficking, along with ways to recognize and combat it, while offering insights into the challenges and needs involved in post-rescue recovery.
Beyond the pages of their novel, Staback and Kennedy are advocates for real-world change. They secured the memorable phone number 1-567-ANDARTA, forwarding it to the Human Trafficking Hotline, and are working with local law enforcement and officials to promote this number in accessible locations, such as on the backs of public restroom stalls. By making this hotline memorable and easy to access, they aim to empower victims to reach out for help, even in challenging circumstances.
Andarta - The Ascending Veil, Book 1 is due for release on November 29, 2024, inviting readers to journey through a powerful story that is both thrilling and socially conscious, crafted to engage audiences and inspire awareness and action.
