Coming October 9th, 2025: the first novel from Mountain Lights Press!
The Collected Souls
by Mallory Spencer
“(An) intimate, tender novel…”
- Seattle Book Review
“(A) cosmic journey that is surprising and unfamiliar…Readers who enjoy reflective plots shaped by shifting perspectives, characters who consider their pasts and future possibilities, underlying issues of suicide, social acceptance or rejection, and relationship-building challenges will find The Collected Souls thoroughly absorbing…”
- D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
The soul of nearly every person in twenty-five different universes has been collected, and each dimension subsequently destroyed.
The Keeper is the only survivor of the Collector’s destruction.
The Collector desires just one more soul to augment her own in a warped attempt to become that which she is not.
Tess is the Collector’s next target.
The lives of the Keeper and Tess collide the day their respective best friends are either captured or killed by the Collector. Both devastated by loss and afraid of what the Collector will do next, the survivor and the target join together on a quest to protect and ultimately heal the multiverse. Their mission takes them across a destabilizing existence as they grapple with their pasts and present.
