Stealer of Souls

Peter thought that Tenby village would be far removed from the war between Valen and Elesora. His illusions of safety are shattered once soldiers from the capital come to his village looking to conscript soldiers among the youth.  To the rest of Tenby village, they think of Peter as an ordinary boy who hunts for a living. What they do not know is that he is an illegitimate child of the Valkross, a clan of nobles who have the monstrous power to absorb the souls of beings they kill, along with their experience, abilities and memories.  Peter has never absorbed a human soul before, but in order to keep his friends and himself alive in this war, he will have to embrace the full extent of his potential as a Valkross. He must get stronger, wiser. One kill at a time.
