The Seven Souls of Esmerelda Black: A Gothic Historical Fantasy

To save her sister‘s soul, she must steal seven others. In the shadows of Victorian London, Esmerelda Black isn‘t just a medium, she‘s a soul thief. With the power to possess the living and steal fragments of their essence, she makes a desperate pact with the devil: seven deadly sins in exchange for her sister‘s salvation. After stealing sloth from her first target, Lady Grafton, she unwittingly creates a ruthless, vengeful opponent who becomes Esmerelda‘s greatest threat. Things grow even more dangerous when Dorian Rosewood, a cunning political candidate with secrets of his own, steals Esmerelda‘s only link to Hell and forces her to use her powers for his gain. As enemies close in and the devil‘s deadline looms, Esmerelda must walk a fatal line between control and surrender, truth and deception. One mistake could doom her sister to eternal torment- or damn Esmerelda‘s own soul forever. Darkly atmospheric, richly woven, and laced with forbidden magic and morally gray intrigue, The Seven Souls of Esmerelda Black is perfect for fans of Hester Fox, Laura Purcell, and Simone St. James.
