Kingdom of Souls (Kingdom of Souls, Bk. 1)

Heir to two lines of powerful witchdoctors, Arrah has yet to show their gifts. So when the Kingdom's children begin to vanish, she turns desperately to a forbidden ritual: trading away years of her own life for the power to find them.

But her borrowed magic reveals a nightmarish betrayal - and now she must unravel her own mother's twisted ambitions before the fight costs more than she can afford.
