The Soulbound Sorceress Series

A delinquent's death becomes the doorway to her destiny. On her 16th birthday, hot-tempered high schooler Alice Kamiya gets one "present" she never expected... Her death at the hands of armies of mythological monsters. She comes face-to-face with an ancient goddess and is given a second chance at life. But when Alice finds herself alive again, things start getting weird around her hometown in northern Japan. Like, "I just ran into an Oni demon and killed it with a magical yo-yo" kind of weird. And then there are these strange dreams she's started having since coming back. Dreams where she can shift into a kitsune, and a mysterious yet familiar voice calls to her. But who cares about dreams when the people you love start turning up dead, one by one? If she doesn't find a way to harness her newfound magical powers, the monsters will keep tearing her hometown and loved ones apart. But if she does find a way to harness her newfound magical powers, she comes one step closer to learning the horrible truth about herself. Will it be worth it to destroy everything she thought she knew about herself in order to save everyone? Only one way to find out...

Just when Alice thought she’d defeated the evil force behind the monster invasion, the real villain has appeared: her. Forced to commit unspeakably cruel crimes against her will, Alice is on the run from the cops who think she’s the one behind it all. But she alone knows the truth: the one responsible is Daji, a frighteningly powerful sorceress who's after nine enchanted stones that, if shattered, will restore her magic and make her unstoppable. Alice must embark on a quest around Japan to track down the stones before the sorceress finds them first, all while fending off an onslaught of the usual supernatural creepy crawlies. She’ll have to put her life in the hands of bickering twin gods, a motorcycle-obsessed assassin, and that cute vampire boy she's had her eye on... Will they find the stones in time? The clock is ticking…
