Local to the Pittsburgh area, author Steven Lowden will be visiting us to talk about his new book 99 Souls, book one in his Soulepierre Chronicles. Below is an overview of his book:

"John Campbell is a model student with excellent grades, strong morals, and a great group of friends. He was engaged to be married to his great love, Julia. But happily-ever-after is not his destiny.

As he returns home to Savannah, after working on an offshore oil rig to earn money for his college tuition, he discovers that Julia has vanished. Frustrated by the lack of investigative progress from the police, he decides to take matters into his own hands and become a vigilante. The suspense builds on his dangerous journey to find his missing fiancée as John faces many difficult and morally ambiguous decisions that challenge his beliefs of right and wrong. What wouldn’t he do to save Julia?

Embedded in the marshes of Savannah and a culture of hidden voodoo, John must choose between certain death or accepting sinister supernatural powers that may help him find and rescue Julia. But there is a price. Driven by love, he makes choices that alter his mortal and immortal life - forever.

Follow John in this urban fantasy as he navigates this treacherous path that could ultimately lead to the loss of his identity and eternal soul, all to save the woman he loves."

If you are a fan of young adult urban fantasy, this is an author you won't want to miss!
