Soulless War Trilogy

When the Dark Queen rises, our world will crumble. For centuries, war has been brewing below the surface of New York. People known as the soulless – immortal humans with strange powers – have threatened life on the surface. The Dark Queen seeks revenge for a crime long forgotten and wants to rule the world. Eighteen-year-old Riley Stark - a new recruit in the Sentinels, a military group that protects Earth from the Underworld – thinks she's joining for the right reason. As a child, she narrowly escaped an assassination attempt on her life, and has wanted justice ever since. After Riley goes snooping through her records, she finds the terrible truth – her ancestor was Mira Stark who killed the famous Dark King, and the soulless have wanted her family's blood spilled. When Riley falls in love with a soulless boy she's been taught to hate, she realizes that she can't trust anyone – soulless or otherwise.

After the supposed death of the Dark Queen and the capturing of the Underworld, the Sentinels believe they've won the war. When a strange ally of the Dark Queen named Doctor Zero emerges, he announces that he's discovered how to turn everyone soulless. With him, he brings a fearless army, a dangerous serum, and the powerful Dark Queen by his side. To have a fighting chance against him, Riley Stark frees King Bane and the Renegades from prison. The Dark Queen's old husband-King Lucius, who resurfaces with a bloodthirsty army of his own-disagrees with Doctor Zero's plan to turn the world soulless and seeks revenge. When Caleb is injured in the battle, Riley is forced to trust strangers and neglect her own people to save him. As the government crumbles, new monsters come out of hiding, and dangerous groups take to the streets, Riley must protect Caleb, prevent her people from becoming soulless, and ask herself if she can continue to serve the Sentinels when they've hidden so much from her.

Powers of life and death are hard to resist… The Soulless Trilogy comes to an end with THE DARK CAGE! Doctor Zero has been defeated, but there's just one problem-before his death, he managed to turn Riley Stark soulless with his serum. Protected by the Purity Crystal, she's now able to feel emotions, but the Sentinels and her family and friends have slowly turned their backs on her. While Riley tries to prove she's still the same girl, an old soulless legend called the Cardinal rises. Thought to be a soulless God with the power to control the Quintessence-the land of souls, better known as the afterlife-everyone fears he's returned to take over the world. As Riley's former best friend returns, he brings an army with him called the Darkhunters who are intent on killing all the soulless for good. When he discovers Riley's transformation, he kidnaps her and creates a radioactive bomb that can destroy the soulless. With friends becoming enemies and an old soulless God waiting in the shadows, Riley will have to fight to save the world and control her new power before she loses it all.
