Soulstealer: A Novel ✔️

Prologue

Fortune favors the bold, but no one tells you she hates the ambitious. It's the sort of lesson life lets you learn the hard way.

I heard Thomas Jefferson once say that honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom. I don't lay claim to wisdom, but I can manage the honesty. So, if I'm being honest, then you need to know that this isn't the story of champions. Nor is it a story of soulmates and true love.

This is a story...about failure.

As much as I want it to be about sunshine and roses, you can't escape those lessons life wants you to learn. But if there's a silver lining anywhere in all this, it's that big things have small beginnings. One spark of hope can light a raging fire that burns all the lies away. The truth has a funny way of setting people free like that, if only they have the courage to listen.

To be honest...I'm not sure you should've come, but I'm glad you're here.
