Mournsoul (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781682638712)

In this romantic fantasy adventure from debut author Caitlin Rose Foley, a young heroine blessed with holy powers and a handsome demigod discover startling truths about their past lives in a tale full of demons and meddling gods.

This lovely hardcover edition features royal purple sprayed edges and includes complementary endpapers, plus a foil-stamped spine on its case.

Eighteen-year-old Lua has lived ninety-nine lives, blessed as the Mornsoul and daughter of the Godqueen. Across multiple reincarnations, she and her Guardian are duty-bound to protect the kingdom of Aurinia with a sacred mission: seal the gateway to the underworld, where the villainous First Prince Valrian rules.

After Lua fails to bind the prince's powers on the battlefield, her Guardian is killed. Lua is put into magical stasis--to await the next Guardian's coming of age--and awakes twenty years later, surrounded by strangers and paired with the hundredth Guardian, Kellen.

When the First Prince infiltrates a masquerade ball celebrating the reunion of the Mornsoul and her Guardian, tragedy strikes as Kellen, too, is killed. Desperate to restore order to Aurinia but unwilling to risk another twenty years in stasis, Lua strikes a deal with the First Prince to retrieve the Guardian's soul and resurrect him. Meanwhile, the First Prince has his own dark plans, and he needs the Guardian and Mornsoul alive to enact them.

As Lua and Valrian navigate the underworld, they uncover long-buried secrets from their former lives that blur the line between enemy and ally. And in the Aurinia, schemes unfold that threaten the entire realm. Lua must decide where to put her trust: in the First prince, who may not be as villainous as she's been taught, or in the temple she's served for lifetimes.

This bloody tale is perfect for those who love encounters with devious gods, heart-wrenching curses, and deconstruction of faith.
