Filled with legacies, curses and romance, this is a tale of magic and power dynamics – As Many Souls as Stars examines what we owe those we love, and what we as women inherit from those who came before us.

Natasha Siegel’s fantasy debut is full of transporting historical detail, with thrilling twists and an abiding, thought-provoking romance that feels at once epic and deeply personal. An unforgettable read, As Many Souls as Stars examines what we owe to ourselves and to those we love.

1592. Cybil Harding, daughter of a secret alchemist, was born under cursed stars. Destined to bring disaster to those around her, Cybil is trapped in a grand house with a mother paralysed by grief and a father willing to sacrifice everything in pursuit of magic.

Miriam Richter is a creature born of shadow. Forged by the dark arts, she is doomed to exist for eternity and destined to be alone – consuming the souls of mortals for sustenance. Everything changes when Miriam meets Cybil, whose soul shines with a light so bright, she must claim it for herself.

Miriam offers a bargain: she will grant Cybil reincarnation and the chance to change her stars in exchange for her soul. Thus begins a dance across centuries as Miriam seeks Cybil in every lifetime to claim her prize. But Cybil isn’t inclined to play by the rules.

As the two women circle each other, drawn together inescapably as light and dark, the bond forged between them grows stronger. In their battle for dominance, only one of them can win… but perhaps they can’t survive without each other. Natasha Siegel's fantasy debut is full of transporting historical detail, with thrilling twists and an abiding, thought-provoking romance that feels at once epic and deeply personal.

Ambitious, gothic, and magical, As Many Souls as Stars is about the lengths we go to protect ourselves, our legacy, and those we love.
