"This is a very well-written, fully imagined alien world that Kira McFadden has created. The descriptions are deep and often poetic, the characters, though alien, are very relatable. Long on vivid details, rich with sights and sounds and emotions. I found myself captured early and finished the book wanting to read more. I will definitely buy the rest of the series." Duane Lindsay
PART 1:
In recent years, many am li infants have been born Unsouled, their soul casings blackened and dead. When the Am li Republic's ruling body turns to Lord Marik Aneys for answers, his research discovers blame may lie with the half-am li, half-human Clae Vojtech--Marik's close cousin. Yet Clae is unaware of his link with the Unsouled stillbirths, and fearing for his life, flees the Republic. In saving himself, however, he unintentionally damns his people.
PART 2:
With the Am li Republic up in arms, Clae's escape means Marik must hunt down his half-blood cousin. To find him, Marik ventures into forbidden lands seeking soul-eating denayn. These creatures, which once thrived alongside am li, now hunger constantly for am li souls. The decision to unleash them on Earth, where every am li's soul now resides, is a huge gamble, yet nothing in the reach of the Am li Republic is as adept at hunting as denayn, and Marik has no other choice.
PART 3:
Agents of the Am li Republic have captured the half-breed Clae, keeping the half-breed out of Marik's reach. Enraged, Marik relies on the denayn he brought to Earth to steal Clae from those who hold him--but at a high cost. Unbeknownst to Clae, the soul-eating creatures have Marik under their control. The am li lord is going mad, and each strand of sanity becomes more and more fragile. Eventually, Marik will snap--but the cost of his insanity will be the whole Am li Republic.
