The Overlay Series by V. Ardevi: A Modern Example of Urban Fantasy
One of the reasons Palmista Press was excited to begin publishing V. Ardevi is because The Overlay Series captures many of the things readers love about modern urban fantasy.
The premise begins with a simple but unsettling idea:
What if reality had hidden layers?
In The Overlay Series, protagonist Benjamin “Ben” Reed discovers a mysterious underground augmented reality system called Overlay.
This is not an app you download casually.
It is banned.
Hard to find.
Whispered about in obscure forums.
Links vanish.
Communities hide.
Most people dismiss it as nonsense.
Others believe it ruins lives.
But when Ben gains access, the city changes.

- Hidden routes appear between buildings
- Strange digital entities watch from rooftops
- Secret communities emerge through encrypted systems
- Reality itself begins to feel unstable
The familiar city becomes unfamiliar.
And that is classic urban fantasy.
Except instead of magic circles and spellbooks, The Overlay Series uses technology, underground forums, hidden augmented systems, and digital culture to create wonder.
It asks a deeply urban fantasy question:
What if the world you see every day is incomplete?
