I'm pleased to present today's featured book, The Soulstealer's Child. The author has provided one of my favorite types of features, a Top Ten list. But first, some info to introduce the book.
Brandon Gray is the pen name
of Braden Bell (Brandon writes YA fiction; Braden writes for middle grades).
Braden holds a Ph.D. from New York University. He and his family live on a
quiet, wooded lot in Tennessee, where he teaches middle school theatre and
music. An experienced performer, Braden enjoys reading, gardening, and long
summer afternoons writing in his hammock. His most notable skill is being able
to eat a full rack of BBQ ribs with one hand on long drives.

When soul-eating demons overrun his
world, Kaelis, a young seraph warrior, uses the Queen’s ring to open a portal
in space and flee with the infant heir to the throne, landing on earth.
Unbeknownst to him, the demon leader, Nsark, follows through the portal,
determined to devour the soul of every last seraph, especially the Queen’s
heir. After Kaelis hides the baby, Nsark creates the ultimate weapon by
fathering a half-human, half-demon: a soul-stealer’s child.
Sixteen years later, an awkward teen named James struggles
to fit in with his peers. In a last-ditch effort, he joins the school play,
where he meets Lucy. Something deep draws them together, and their friendship
reveals their hidden pasts: one is an angel, one is half-demon. Lucy and James
find themselves pulled into an age-old war between their peoples. Hunted by
relentless enemies, and grappling with deep-seated instincts and strange new
powers, they must fight for their lives, their souls, and each other.
And now for Braden's special(er) feature!
