Myths, legends, folk tales. Stories of gods, heroes, and monsters.

I didn’t find out that they were all true until I died.

Alice’s life is thrown into chaos when she is attacked and permanently scarred by a terrifying creature of indescribable power. During her desperate struggle for survival, her father mysteriously vanishes.

All on her 16th birthday.

If that’s not enough, she’s just relocated to her mother’s hometown in northern Japan and has to try to fit in at high school as a weird, awkward, biracial foreigner.

A serial killer is on the loose, striking victim after victim with no end in sight.

Alice may be next. Or worse, someone she loves.

Together with a handsome half-vampire emissary of Death, a talking umbrella possessed by the ghost of an ex-gangster, and an ancient Egyptian goddess, Alice must track down the killer before it’s too late, all while fending off an army of ravenous mythical Japanese monsters who’d love nothing more than to feast on her flesh.

Even if she survives all that, there’s the mystery of this strange voice that keeps speaking to her in her dreams that seems all too familiar…

The Soulbound Scar is the first book in an exciting new urban fantasy series. Don’t miss Alice’s adventures as she encounters various gods and creatures from mythology around the world.
