In a world where souls can be stolen but never replaced, love and deception become a deadly game.
***
Elowyn Emberveil died at eighteen, consumed by flames that devoured her home in Grandcrest. But death wasn't the end. Rescued by the enigmatic Chooser, her soul was exiled to the Island of the Spared Souls-a purgatory for those not bound for eternal torment. Survival meant stealing: devouring human souls to inhabit their bodies. For 173 years, Elowyn has endured, her spirit trapped in the decaying body of a 90-year-old woman.
When a young, radiant girl arrives on the island, Elowyn sees her salvation. Consumed by desperation, she claims the girl's soul, unknowingly seizing the body of Princess Isabel Morrow, second in line to the kingdom of Ivor.
Returning to the royal city with Isabel's devoted knight-and former lover-Raven Sinclair, Elowyn finds herself entangled in a life she never wanted and emotions she's never known. As Raven's unwavering love for Isabel tugs at her fractured soul, Elowyn begins to wonder: can a thief of souls deserve redemption?
But secrets can't stay buried forever. As Elowyn struggles to maintain her facade, the truth of Isabel's fate looms. What will Raven do when he learns the woman he loves is gone-and the soul he now holds close is a stranger? And what will Elowyn sacrifice to hold onto a love that was never hers to begin with?

Grim Echoes
Maeve's ability to touch others' souls can be heartbreaking and confusing, but when she connects with two murderers, it turns her world upside down. Are they still killers if they only kill monsters? What starts as a random attack on the street stopped by two strangers quickly escalates as Maeve discovers her attackers were demons. Thrusting her into their violent world, Maeve struggles to hold on to her humanity, making choices she never believed she would have to make. Disturbed but drawn to each of them. Will's bestial nature calls to her one moment and rejects her the next. While a powerful attachment to Ander's gentle soul comforts her, but every time they connect, she feels his darkness just below the surface. Will's entire life has been a war against monsters, alongside his best-friend Ander. Honor bound by duty, he is brutal, relentless, and uncompromising in his mission to protect the masses. He didn't understand how much his world would change after saving Maeve, or how she would shatter his convictions. Ander may have magical talents but in his mind, nothing will redeem him from the abomination he is. Bound by more than shed blood, Will, his adopted brother, and only friend. Together they seek and destroy aberrations that poison the world. Until Maeve touched his hand, there was nothing else but the mission. With her, Ander could see a different side of himself, a different life. This is a character driven story written from the 3 main characters POV's. It's a mature adult dark romance & contains dubious triggering situations that some might find offensive. If you want an instant, fearless heroine, Maeve won't be it.

Power & money aren't the only things that make the world turn & those that wield the greatest power control destiny. If you're looking for heroes, Will & Ander are NOT it. If you're drawn to tortured villainous souls, you'll enjoy their saga.Complete
