I’ve walked the streets of Phoenix Valley for twenty two years knowing exactly who I am - an orphan, a human, a nobody. Summoned by The Hex to test my humanity, I was prepared to fail, destined to be the same mundane girl …

I was wrong. Pandora’s Box called to me, sensing a magic I never knew existed. With my world turned upside down and full of possibilities, I must now call Paradise Heights home. To live amongst supernaturals, attend Saints Academy, and find my place.

Curiosity has me willing to give this a try, but the Elites of Saints Academy tempt to distract me, and that’s something I can’t afford. Xander is gruff, Khaos cold, Zen soothing, and Adonis … lives up to his name.

Angel, Demon, God, Vampire, Shifter. I could be anything, anyone. I have three years to figure out who I’m meant to be…

Let the countdown begin.

The prophecy declares the darkness that once brought the world to its knees will return. The timing is no coincidence and I can’t help but fear it all points back to me.

With my heritage revealed, I finally know where I fit in. It’s not what I expected, but I can’t change it, just like I can’t change who I am drawn to.

A shifter, a demon, a vampire, an angel.

The stakes have been raised and souls have been sealed, but the questions keep stacking up. As the target on my back continues to grow, I am forced into the heart of a war I have no interest in fighting.

One thing is certain - there are bigger games at play and I must find my place among the madness. But with my trust on unstable ground, will I carry on alone or lean on those breaking down my walls?

The battle for survival has begun.

They say the Gods don’t give you more than you can handle, which is probably why I’m sinking in drama. As a God myself, I guess I’m not included in that little speech. But it’s about time they address me as who I am.

Rhea.

WIth my intentions questioned, and my battle far from over, the list of my enemies continues to grow. The Hex, Zellus, and what seems like the entire supernatural world. But I don’t stand alone, despite their efforts.

Xander, Adonis, Zen, and Khaos. We are an unbreakable unit, forged in fire and sealed all the way down to our souls. I am theirs and they are mine.

My shifter. My demon. My angel. My vampire.

I may no longer be an earthling, but it’s clear I have traded one prison for another with Saints Academy. What they have yet to realize is I cannot be caged, and I will never stop fighting - for myself, my unit, or our freedom.

Worthy or not.

When your soul is torn apart and your heart feels empty, how do you breathe?

When the flames of hell burn bright and all hope seems lost, how do you survive?

When war is coming for those you love and darkness prepares to strike, how do you face the wrath?

When truths are awoken and the supernatural world is brought to its knees, how do you rise back up?

The time for questions has passed.

It is time to act.

Time to fight.

Time to conquer evil once and for all.

May courage drive you.

May you know no fear.

May we all rest in peace, wherever our pieces may fall.

I once had everything until it all disappeared.

Years later, I’m on the cusp of finally filling in the missing pieces, only for them to barge into my life at the worst possible moment. It only takes one glimpse to realize I’m not the only one who’s changed.

Alexi, Talon, and Malik.

Gone are the boys I once knew. Gone are my saviors from across the road. In their place are the furies that rule and set order, now nothing more than my captors.

A deal was struck and I had no choice but to agree. Now I find myself in Hollow Pier with the truth still keeping us apart, and my soul burning to repair its missing pieces.

I don’t stand a chance against them.

I never have.

Heartless Souls is a why choose standalone spin-off for Harmonia from Rhea's story in the early books of the Saints Academy series.
