About The Book
From a young age, Silver’s gifts set her apart. She can move objects with her mind, teleport across great distances, and even hear the thoughts of those around her. Yet, with each new ability, Silver feels the weight of difference more deeply. When tragedy strikes, the idyllic life shatters in one night of horror: the family is slaughtered, the home burned, and Silver is left blinded, broken, and alone. But even in the darkest moment, Silver survives. Through sheer instinct, Silver escapes to the Mortal Realm, finding herself inside a church, a place of holiness and purity that should have destroyed a creature of her kind. Instead, it becomes a sanctuary.
Found and nursed back to health by Arathorn Garrick Ashcroft, a priest whose quiet strength hides a more profound wisdom, Silver begins a painful healing journey. Guided by a godfather, Elliot Gage, Silver learns to live without sight and rebuild power from within. The blindness, once a curse, becomes a new kind of vision, a path toward understanding who Silver is and what she was born to do. As Silver trains and grows stronger, Silver embraces its true nature: not as an outcast, but as a bridge between light and darkness, hope and despair, mortality and immortality.
Amid the shadows and healing, a quiet bond begins to grow between Silver and Arathorn, a love that develops slowly and meaningfully through shared trials and compassion.
This read is more than a fantasy; it is a story of survival, identity, and the quiet courage it takes to rebuild after unimaginable loss. Through Silver’s journey, Anderson explores the deep humanity that exists even in beings of myth. The prose is lush and cinematic, weaving a world of ancient forests, sacred power, and fragile hope. Silver is not a perfect heroine, but a survivor, scarred, grieving, and learning to stand again.
Anderson’s storytelling captures the beauty of pain and the strength of resilience. “The Lost Soul” is ultimately a story about transformation, finding light in the darkness, and rediscovering power from within. It’s the tale of a lost soul who learns that even in the ashes, there can still be life, purpose, and the promise of a new beginning.
