Thief of Silver and Souls (Rites of Possession Book 1)

The protagonist possesses rogue magic that killed her sister, a crime punishable by death. She survives by stealing from the corrupt to aid the needy, hoping to atone for her past. When she attempts to help a dying noblewoman, she accidentally steals the woman's soul instead. The noblewoman's ghost then compels her to investigate a conspiracy at the royal college—one that led to the noblewoman's death and threatens to unleash a deadly power across the kingdom. To infiltrate the college and its elite circles, the protagonist poses as a refined lady, attending classes and social events while gathering intelligence. She cannot work alone and must earn the trust of four noblemen connected to the dead woman. These men are damaged and dangerous, and their presence threatens to expose her monstrous abilities. If her true nature is discovered, the consequences will extend far beyond her personal redemption.
