Tomb of Souls

About the book

Some secrets are buried so deep, they haunt you in your sleep.

The magic ban is lifted. Elice is finally free.

But freedom comes with its own complications. Her sister is plagued by endless nightmares, barely able to function, and someone has to keep the kingdom running. That means stepping into palace life, filling in for wedding dress fittings, sitting through council meetings, and pretending she knows what she’s doing. Oh, and trying very hard not to think about James, the lord of Talin, and the feelings she can’t seem to shake.

Balancing all of this is harder than she imagined. On top of it all, she continues to replay Lenore’s death in her mind. Grief has a way of making everything heavier—especially when the blood is on your own hands.

Determined to help her sister any way she can, Elice throws herself into finding a cure—never expecting that somewhere along the way, the nightmares would find her instead. Suddenly her sister is sleeping peacefully, and Elice is the one waking up screaming. She didn’t ask for this. But if it means her sister is safe, she’ll bear it.

For now.

Racing against her own exhaustion, she’s forced to avoid sleep at all costs while searching for answers. Because the voice at the end of every nightmare isn’t just a figment of her imagination.

Something is in there with her. Something old. Something that wants out.

The dreams began somewhere. Elice is going to find out where—before whatever is waiting in the dark finds a way back.

Tomb of Souls is book two of Elice, the Great, a young adult fantasy series that retells the classic fairytale Rapunzel, with slow-burn romance, diverse characters, and themes of coming-of-age, self-discovery, and identity.
