The Soul Up North

“If we were meant to be, why am I the only one fighting?” When fate, death, and obsession comes into picture—each wrist tells a different story. Born and raised in a society where the S symbols represent soulmates, Jack Spade finds himself in a limbotic state. A glowing red mark on the left wrist means a soulmate has been found; a devotion burning into the world. But when the mark fades into black on the right wrist, Death claims the unbearable truth; a soulmate is gone, replaced by an aching void. In a series of unfortunate events, Jack has seven days before the symbol on his right wrist turns black when he meets Jade Hearts. Only granted a week, Jack embraces his journey of grief, betrayal, and denial in the eyes of not only Jade but those she cherished. Through fleeting love, he holds onto the fragments of her existence. But when her secrets start to unfold, Jack finds himself barely holding onto his side of the universe. The Soul Up North is a tale of acceptance, finding meaning in the reality of despair, and the fight to love even after loss. “This story might break your heart at times, but it has a bittersweet ending that is surprisingly hopeful.” — Readers Favorite View Less
