Trade ReviewPrincess of Souls sucked me in from the very first sentence. Its premise is as delightful as it is creepy, with characters to match. Nox and Selestra are here for vengeance, and everybody else had better stay out of their way. * Tricia Levenseller, author of The Shadows Between Us *

Rapunzel glistening with dark magic galore. * Chloe Gong, the New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights *
Christo has cast a spell with this
decadently dark tale of witches, fate, and defying death; her hallmark humor is as sharp as a blade; equally, her expert handling of a romance sure to be devoured by readers sparks true magic. * Ciannon Smart, author of Witches Steeped in Gold *

In this reimagined Rapunzel story, set in the same world as Christo's To Kill a Kingdom (2018), pale-skinned, green-haired, snake-eyed Selestra knows that her destiny is to become the king's witch like her mother, doomed to foretell the deaths of hundreds of people, most of whom will have their souls consumed to maintain King Seryth's immortality. Selestra's reading of magnetic Last Army soldier Nox reveals that their fates are inextricably intertwined, and as they try to
escape their deaths, a spark of attraction grows into something incendiary. Dual perspectives keep the narrative moving, and vibrant imagery combined with humorous banter and excellent interpersonal chemistry will make this a joy for fans of slow-burn romances.
