Trials of the Lost Soul
Available nowMary’s story should have ended the night she died. Instead, it was only the beginning.
She wakes up in a realm built on suffering. A place where condemned souls are sent to pay for their sins. Torn from her younger sister by forces she doesn’t understand, Mary is given one impossible chance: survive the Seven Trials of the Soul. Pass, and she can save Lily. Fail, and she will be trapped in damnation forever.
But the trials were never meant to be won.
Two beings follow her every step. An angel who shields her but hides a devastating truth. A demon who watches her with patience, charm, and an obsession he calls devotion.
As the trials strip her bare, testing her mercy, her will, her capacity to forgive the unforgivable, Mary must decide who to trust in a world where loyalty is a weapon and love is the most dangerous thing of all.

Here’s something most readers never catch: the Seven Trials began as the Seven Deadly Sins. Wrath, lust, pride, and the rest. But the deeper I wrote, the more I hated what that framework decided about people, that sloth made you bad, that wanting made you damned. So I tore it down and rebuilt the trials around the virtues I believe actually make someone good. They’re hidden in plain sight inside each trial. Self-acceptance. Mercy. Sacrifice. The courage to think for yourself when everyone wants you to follow. See how many you can name before Mary does.
