Book excerpt: Break the curse, or lose your soul. A family curse. A crumbling kingdom. A soul binding debt only one can pay.... And the cost may just be her soul. Within a poverty stricken kingdom where legends of the war between the angels and demons haunt the land, Esme Loutari is imprisoned by the king for rumors of witchcraft. It's through a twist of fate, which leaves many bodies behind, Esme discovers she inherited her family's curse - to siphon souls for the god of Death. While the king orders her return to his dungeons, and a rogue demon seeks to bring her to Death's realm, Esme must place her life in the hands of immortal warriors duty-bound to keep her safe. Their mysterious leader, Aiden, promises to be on Esme's side as they assist her in breaking this curse. But when it comes to immortals, nothing is at it seems.... The Soul Collector is a compelling, action packed young adult fantasy where secrets kill, and duty and desire can tear you apart. Perfect for fans of Kerri Maniscalco and Sabaa Tahir.
