Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

Callum is the kind of obsessive, ancient demon MMC who will ruin you for other book boyfriends. The kink is unapologetic, the horror elements genuinely creepy, and Everly finally coming into her power after a lifetime of suppression is deeply satisfying.

Synopsis

Everly I am the servant of a merciless God. I am the daughter of Its preacher. All my life, my power has been controlled by others. They raised me to be meek and stifled my magic. But no more. A brutal murder led me to discover a mysterious house full of magic - and the ancient, powerful demon within. He says my power can change the world, that I can kill the evil creature I once worshipped. But at what cost? Callum For two thousand years, I've been alone. Slaughtering fallen Gods as I searched for the witch that haunted my dreams, begging for my help. Now that I've found her, I will protect her with my life. But when the fate of Earth, Heaven, and Hell hangs in the balance, not even her soul is safe from destruction. If a choice must be made, I'll let the world burn if it means having her as my own. Soul of a Witch is book 3 in the Souls Trilogy . Each book within the Souls Trilogy is interconnected, following a different couple through a similar timeline in the fictional world of Abelaum. Content Note This book contains sexual scenes, kink/fetish content, horror elements, and drug use. Please see the book preview for complete CW.

At a Glance

Book 3 of Souls Trilogy (Losers series spin-off). Each book follows a different couple in Abelaum with interconnected timelines. Callum (ancient arch-demon, 2000+ years old) x Everly (repressed witch escaping religious cult). Extremely kink-forward—includes pegging, knife play, blood play, piercing play, bondage, impact play, drug use during consensual sex. Bisexual MMC confirmed. Horror elements are genuine (not just dark vibes). The three books overlap in timeline showing events from different POVs. Series complete as trilogy.
