Ágata Cyrino e Scott Reidel são pessoas peculiares inseridas em um mundo no qual não parecem pertencer. Em meio a humanos comuns, ela pode controlar o fogo e ele sentir de longe a presença de criaturas que supostamente não deveriam estar entre os vivos. A dupla se conhece quando um espírito vaga pela escola da cidade de Grande Oliveira e percebem serem os únicos capazes de interagir com este. Cada um dos jovens traz consigo um passado misterioso com o oculto e um futuro cheio de desafios. Suas trajetórias estão alinhadas à de uma lenda a muito esquecida pelo mundo, a de um monstro alado sedento por sangue, fruto de um pacto que o fez perder sua humanidade. A lenda é real, e por detrás de seus planos sua prioridade é eliminar sua última descendente: Ágata Cyrino. Tendo suas famílias e amigos em perigo, Ágata e Scott se veem interligados em uma batalha muito maior do que jamais pensaram ter de enfrentar. Em um último golpe desesperado, a dupla parte em exploração por um véu que liga o mundo humano a um outro inexplorado repleto de criaturas mágicas, na intenção de enfim derrotar o milenar assassino imortal.

************************************************************************************** An outcast rogue must break a curse put on his fate, or die on his nineteenth birthday. To survive, he'll need the sword of a maiden, the aid of an immortal, and the power of forbidden magic that could cost him the only girl he ever loved. ************************************************************************************ *** THE JACK OF SOULS won a Silver IPPY this year! *** THE JACK OF SOULS won 1st place in the PNWA Competition in Fantasy! * *** THE JACK OF SOULS won 1st place in the Southwest Writers competition! * *** A "Featured Book" on Wattpad! * *** Now a "Staff Pick" on Kickstarter! * *** Available on Amazon in paper, hardback, and ebook ! * *** My contract with Kindle Select won't allow me to post more than 3 chapters here, but... *** Sign up for my newsletter on stephenmerlino.com for alerts when it's free on Amazon! * MY INSPIRATION I wrote this out of pure love of trickster rogues; I love the wit over brawn motif -- Odysseus over Achilles, Raven over Eagle -- so I like to play with it in my stories. In JOS I set the rogue and con-artist Harric against a foil of warriors in a land threatened by magic and civil war. Whenever possible I turn familiar tropes on their heads: instead of a handsome young Lancelot, I cast a broken-down ex-champion addicted to pain-killing herbs; instead of a dashing Squire Brian, the old knight reluctantly takes an ambitious young woman as squire. Similarly, I re-imagine the standard medieval milieu by infusing aspects of two of my favorite historical periods, Elizabethan England, and The American Frontier. Both eras boast a kind of nationalistic arrogance that borders on hubris, and a magnificent spirit of resourcefulness and re-invention that is fun to play with. SERIES The Jack of Souls is first in a series. I am posting parts of the sequel here now (The Knave of Souls), to help me refine the story.
