A Canticle of Two Souls

By Steven Raaymakers
A Canticle of Two Souls by Steven Raaymakers digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

~ Winner of the Best Morally-Grey Character Award in the Indie Ink Awards 2022! ~


A magic sword forged of a demon. A broken boy seeking revenge. A mysterious girl with terrible powers.

 

A metal coming-of-age tale with an empath magic system.

 

Raziel watched the Rhotian Empire slaughter his family. When a sentient sword promises him the head of the emperor, Raziel carves a bloody path in an epic journey across a land filled with banshees and mercenaries in pursuit of his revenge.

But forced to travel with a strange young woman with a dark past, will Raziel even reach his destination?

Alicia has plans of her own. Gifted with a terrible magic that can bend others to her will, she also has revenge on her mind and Raziel in her sights.

Can two enemies put aside their differences to seek a higher goal, or will mistrust and inner-demons condemn their fates? Magic is a dangerous thing. So is hope.

The 'Aria of Steel Trilogy' is a heavy-metal power ballad of clashing blades, blood-soaked betrayal, and sweet revenge. Will you walk away or join the fight?

“This book was absolutely amazing, a real breath of fresh air in the fantasy genre. The magic system was very unique. The female lead can hear people’s emotions as music, and manipulate the emotions in cool ways. The male lead is a damaged teen boy who is learning to deal with the loss of his family while fighting the influence of an evil sentient sword. Above all this, in a lofty palace, paranoia consumes the stoic emperor. His scribe has ulterior motives, his advisors are disgruntled, and the kingdoms around the empire grow stronger. The battle scenes were so well-written. The last few chapters were especially intense and very emotional. This is a story about revenge, friendship and forgiveness. With many satisfying twists and fresh elements set against a solid fantasy backdrop, ‘A Canticle of Two Souls’ is an excellent debut by this new author, and well worth a read. I’ve already ordered the 2nd book, and I can’t wait to read it. Happy Reading! :)”

““Raziel relished the violence, thrived in it, gripping it and gripped by it like lovers in a passionate embrace. This wasn’t love he felt, though, but lust. Lust for death, for hatred, for revenge.” This is precisely the kind of fantasy novel I adore. From the very first page I was HOOKED. I loved every part of it but most of all I loved the unique and engrossing writing style, the greyest of morally grey and the most enthralling characters, and the elaborate and distinctive world building. I don’t think I’ve read anything that quite matches or is similar to what this book does but I genuinely can’t recommend it enough.”
