The Cost of Souls: Magic, Mischief, and Unlikely Alliances

Every soul has a price. Emily knows - because she's the one collecting them.
A witch with a talent for binding human souls into tarot cards, Emily trades them for Jadevine Noctiflora - the rare compound that keeps her young, powerful… and dependent.
But the more souls she takes, the harder they become to control.
When her magic draws the attention of the Elders, Emily is forced back into a world she's been trying to avoid - where Joseph, a warlock with rising power and a complicated past, is no longer just an ally… but part of the system watching her every move.
And he's not the only one.
A fallen angel has been sent to observe and judge. Bound by strict celestial law, he should remain distant.
But Emily isn't easy to ignore.
As forbidden magic spreads and soul-binding turns unstable, loyalties fracture, and control begins to slip.
Because Emily's magic isn't just breaking the rules anymore.
It's starting to unravel them.
And when the souls she's taken begin to fight back…
The cost won't just be power.
It will be everything.

Ancient politics and supernatural secrets surface; a dangerous game unfolds among witches, warlocks, angels, Elders, and the unseen authorities who claim dominion over every soul. Hidden truths begin to emerge:

A mysterious witch who knows far more than she admits. Forbidden magic capable of imprisoning souls - a growing commodity in the warlock community. Conflicts that threaten the balance between the Elders and the Above.

Emily, Joseph, and David must confront a question no one in their world wants answered:
What is the true cost of a soul?

The Cost of Souls is a dark urban fantasy packed with witchcraft, angels, hidden magic, and power struggles where loyalty, justice, and destiny collide. A magical shop, an array of colorful characters, and a city full of secrets provide the perfect backdrop for Emily to remember who she was… before the intrigue consumes her.
