The Soul Stitcher

The Spirit Ripper tore out a piece of my soul. And now I want it back.

Lysander Meadowlark is dying. Disgraced and exiled for a forbidden same sex affair, the young Prince of Primara is sold off to the new Emperor of a faraway land. Reduced to a harem slave, Lysander climbs to the rank of General over the years by using Emperor Roux’s sick fascination with him as leverage. When fascination grows into dangerous obsession, Roux forces Lysander to pay the ultimate price.A creature of darkness lingers in the depths of the Emperor’s rule, one that steals pieces of souls and claims whatever is left for its own twisted desires. Lysander’s soul is just too good to resist….

I am the last Soul Stitcher, and I wield a gift passed down to only one female dragon every millennia.

Tellamae Cisra is the only half-dragon half-human in history to wield the magic of Soul Stitching; the art of taking ravaged souls and mending them back together. Sacred Oath binds her to helping all who are in need, no matter species, nationality or sex. After mankind betrays the dragons, a new law passes that forbids any aid or contact with humans. Torn between her Oath, the human blood that runs in her veins, and her desire to earn her place in dragon society, Tellamae isn’t prepared for the Prince’s unannounced arrival. Nor is she ready for his traitorous requests.

A dragon and a human are forbidden to bond. Since when do we listen to the rules?

Tellamae can’t deny the handsome, suffering Prince. Together, they secretly set out to try and find the missing soul piece needed to save his life. As they unravel a web of lies and deceit, a forbidden love begins to bloom, one tied to an ancient and mighty bond that existed long before the Kingdoms conquered the realm.

While their world descends into chaos and their enemies scheme to ensure their demise, Lysander’s shattered soul begins to drag him into madness, leaving Tellamae to fight harder than ever for his survival. If she can’t stitch his soul soon, he will lose his grip on reality all together. And the realm will burn into ash and bone, taking their newfound love with it.

A Sun That Belongs To Midnight

“Nature is fickle but The Great Balance tames her. The Sun Spirit and The Moon Spirit, both in tandem, both in harmony, keep her alive. But now the Sun Spirit is dead. And without The Great Balance, Nature and mankind will perish.”

Hello, Dear Reader

All About Lorelei

Born and raised in Colorado, I developed my love for nature and reading side by side — the public library was my home away from home. At nineteen I enlisted in the United States Air Force as a Flight Equipment Technician, later becoming an Aeromedical Evacuation Flight Medic. After retiring, I chased my lifelong dream: writing.

I am a proud member and advocate of the Queer Community. My work centers on challenging harmful societal structures, finding beauty and hope in darkness, and learning just how healing “found family” and love can truly be.

While my work explores darker themes, it’s geared toward overcoming the challenges we face while understanding we are not alone in our journey. And that love prevails. Always.

— Xoxo, Lorelei
