The Phantom Touched series begins with Tethered to the World, published in 2019. Annora has spent her life held captive by her uncle, who exploits her rare ability to bring people back from death. When she learns he plans to sell her at auction, she escapes and finds her way to a university for supernatural beings, where she is matched with a group of broken men as her team.
As students begin to vanish from the university, Annora suspects she is the real target. The series follows her through Shackled to the World and Ransomed to the World as the threats grow and Annora must decide whether to reveal her closely guarded secret to save the men she has come to love. The tagline for the series captures the stakes well: one touch can save you from certain death, or sentence you to an eternity in hell. The three books form a complete story arc that moves from Annora’s captivity to her fight for freedom and the family she builds along the way.
