Mount of Fractured Souls

by Olivia Gold

Five years ago, Marcus survived a war he never wanted to be a part of. Survival comes with a price, and he remains haunted by the past and the pieces of lost memories.

Tormented by shadows, he takes matters into his own hands and ventures into the forest seeking answers, seeking Darci. What he finds might be more haunting than the past.

A dying world, monsters in the shadows, and darkness heavier than any he has ever felt put him on a collision course with disaster. But the tether holding him to Darci pulls harder, and he travels to a mountain with a buried secret. A mountain where anyone who ventures too close is never seen again.

Will he find Darci and escape with her? Or will the horrors of his past dig their talons in deeper until there is nothing left but a monster?

She may be trapped in the shadowy space between worlds, but he is determined to save her--no matter the cost, even if the darkness consumes him instead.

Can redemption and peace come even for the most broken?

Mount of Fractured Souls is a dark fantasy with heavy themes of trauma, loss, resentment, and forgiveness. The struggle of keeping a hold of oneself in an uncertain world means you either face your monsters or become one. It has an underlying focus on hatred and how it can morph into something you can no longer control if you let it.

About the author

Hi! I'm Olivia, and I have had a deep love of reading and all things books pretty much my entire life. I grew up on fantasy and magic, and the fact that I get to write stories full of those things boggles my mind. I hope to continue to grow as a writer and reader every year. I love a variety of genres and consume a diverse range of books. I was born and raised in Kentucky, and I spend a lot of my time outside with my family, enjoying our garden and nature. My horses, cats, and dog also hold a dear place in my heart. Thank you to every person who takes a chance on my book. I hope you like it, and even if you didn't, I'm still grateful you tried it out!

Happy Reading!

I loved this book! I've been missing the storyline and the worlds of this series and was definitely looking forward to the release of this third book. Mount of Fractured Souls picked up and interwove the plots of the previous two books. The reader gains a better understanding of what Darcy, Marcus, and Adrian's lives in their new roles are. This book is a nice wrap to the series- I definitely recommend reading it!
