Fated Souls (Soul Hunter #0.5)

Fated Souls is a SHORT PREQUEL NOVELLA in the Soul Ties series.

Those who live amongst the Fated are subject to control by the ruling Caelestia — the only chance of gaining Free Will is to serve as a soul hunter.

Ava is determined to leave her Fated childhood behind and create her own destiny. Seizing her chance to escape, she signs herself over to the Caelestia as a soul hunter. Her task: enter the human world, retrieve the required number of souls trapped in demons, and freedom is hers. But Ava soon discovers this role isn’t as easy as she expected and that nobody told the whole truth about what soul hunter life entails—or the dangers she faces.

Daniel is an ex soul hunter in charge of training new recruits. Scarred by his years hunting demons, he's ruthless in his treatment of Ava and the others. Ava is drawn to Daniel and his mysterious past, and others notice he takes a special interest in her. But what is his real agenda behind wanting to keep Ava alive?

This novella covers Ava's soul hunter life in the years prior to Soul Ties and gives readers of the series more insight into her past. The story leads to events played out in the rest of the Soul Ties series. The novella is best read after Soul Ties.
