The Phantom Keeper

By Amanda Ferreira

Born with the innate ability to see and hear ghosts, Pella has worked as a phantom keeper for over two decades, painting her body with the spells she needs to send the souls of the dead to their next life. But being a phantom keeper isn't the only thing that defines her; she moonlights as a marksman, an assassin, an entertainer, a thief-whatever the highest bidder demands, she becomes, and it's a skill the Academy of Light is happy to exploit.

But unbeknownst to the world, Pella is hiding a secret. All her extraordinary skills-her perfect aim, her arsenal of spells, her overwhelming destructive power-are not her own; they're stolen from the ghost of a fallen god. A fallen god who hungers, and who must devour other ghosts in order to survive, even if that means Pella must make them herself.

It's a cost Pella has always paid willingly, and one she hides easily through her work as a phantom keeper. But when a fairly routine job to harvest ghosts goes awry, and her only friend-a charming lion-shifter-makes a tragic mistake while saving her life, Pella will be forced to question everything she's sacrificed on her quest for power-including the chance to be her true self.

The Phantom Keeper is an adult romantic fantasy featuring a trans protagonist and a male love interest.
