I think that’s the name of the series. I like the alliteration anyway. Better than Soul Gulper.
Perhaps you remember the character Raze from one of Sue Vincent’s #writephoto prompts. Well, he’s back with a series of his own.
I don’t have too much to share yet, but here’s a brief peek at the act of swallowing a soul:
***
When the others retired, Raze sat by the hearth, its flames dwindling to scarlet embers. His grief for Briyon unearthed old ghosts, his mother among them, an ageless portrait suspended in the gallery of his mind. Not so his memories of Mirelle. Those lingered with infinite fluidity, entangled with visions of the past and dreams of a future that would never be.
Six years had shuffled by since her death, five since he’d joined Briyon at the freehold, and no lever had proved long or strong enough to pry her from his heart. Loneliness invaded his body so deeply it punched the breath from his lungs and sapped the strength from his back, and no hoping and wishing could bring those people back. A twenty-one he was master of the freehold, a tired soul, angry at a world he couldn’t control.
He turned the pendant over in his hand, keenly aware of its delicate beauty. The white soulstone had transformed, no longer solid but translucent with pale wisps of color swirling like morning mist. Copper wire the breadth of a strand of hair coiled around it, holding a round sliver of peridot in place with a final twist of two tiny leaves. It glowed with a soft light, indicating the presence of a soul. A soul he loved.
With great care, he unhooked the copper leaves, unwound the wire, and removed the green gem that capped a small hole. Inside, an iridescent sphere resembling a pearl shone with a brilliance that startled him. Were all souls so bright? He didn’t know; this was his first. He rolled it into his hand. Would he swallow it? Did he want what Briyon offered? Was there anything to fear?
The pearl of light glowed in his palm, offering no insight. He placed it back into the pendant. No need to choose; no decision pressed him to act with haste. The round gem refitted, he coiled the wires, paused, and then uncoiled them. In one fluid motion, he uncapped the pendant, tipped the sphere into his mouth, and swallowed.
A rush of heat streamed from his belly, up through his heart into his head and down his limbs to his fingers and toes. His body trembled, the sensation alien, but not frightening, and not long lived, for it subsided as quickly as it had overtaken him. Eyes closed, he accepted Briyon’s soul. In the quiet of night, he exhaled a long breath, crept to bed, and dreamed another man’s dreams.

I think the title is brilliant, Diana. It’s evocative and I don’t know that I’ve ever heard of a book that covered something close (which is what drew me to your work in the first place — your ability to introduce truly new concepts to a genre that can be very samey).
My imagination was opened with this excerpt. I wondered what would happen if someone soul swallowed based on who they thought that person to have been — even someone they considered very close to them — only to learn after the fact that “what lay beneath” was quite a different soul. The lover who had been unfaithful. The saintly mother who was secretly treacherous. The best friend who turns out to have been a serial killer. You swallow the soul for the best of reasons … only to unwittingly reap knowledge or personality traits or even powers you never knew were there.

Yes, that is a problem, isn’t it? **Rubs hands together and snickers evilly.** As written now, swallowing a soul conveys some adeptness with skills, and an edge of personality and temperament – sort of like the formative influence a parent would have on a child. And there are numerous downsides, partly the hidden fears and predilections as you point out, but also the characteristics that worked in one life but are burdens in the next. And there are a whole bunch of complications when too many souls are swallowed.
I should have the first drafts (a duology) completed by the end of November! That’s the goal, anyway. Thanks for taking the time to read, Erik. I value your thoughts and opinion immensely. Happy November!

This part of the story is fascinating, Diana. I really like how Raze had his heart broken and still feels the pain of losing his love, Mirelle.
I think both names show portent, his seems dangerous and hers seems innocent and pretty.
His decision making skills are hindered from heartbreak, losing his friend (brother?) and is choosing a treacherous path. I’m not sure what Briyon’s life soul will show Raze in his dreams. . . but this felt eerie and like he made a “rash choice.” Good luck with allowing the muse to take you into twisting thoughts! I could imagine possibly needing Raze to use heroic strength to “get back” from his swallowing souls journey.

Well I have been on an Amazon adventure since you left this suggestion.
After starting the book from the “look inside” preview on Amazon’s site, I paid for Sorcerer’s Garden, got the receipt online, and turned on my Kindle Fire. Huh? The only D. Wallace Peach book on my bookshelf was Catling’s Bane (Book 1).
After a bit of time on my computer (where I reached a page telling me they had closed my Associate’s Account – that I had never opened to begin with), I found a phone number and listened through a bunch of voice prompts, none of which fit my situation.
Making my best wrong guesses, I finally reached a lovely man with an accent who talked me through various things to try, Kindle-wise. When none of them worked, he asked me to turn it off, then back on (no dice), and finally “pushed” the book to me and assured me that “he would leave a note” and that my account (that I don’t have, remember) would remain open.
????? ::scratching head::
Is it any wonder I can’t figure out how to work my dratted Kindle? Technology — grrrrrrr! See how addicted you’ve got me? 🙂 In any case, I am getting ready to turn in, Kindle in hand, to find out what’s happening with the job with the man in the [not] coma. G’nite!
