On the verge of capturing a Soul Stealer, Junto Kral and his team of Extractors make a fatal mistake that results in the tragic death of a loved one. The consequences threaten to tear their team apart, but they vow to continue their mission to rid the world of those who would use the dark powers of the death gems to steal the souls of innocent victims and use their life-forces to escape death.As their hunts for the Soul Stealers continue, Junto and his team of Extractors realize this evil is far more powerful and widespread than they had first thought and they must use every resource available to them to survive, despite what it may do to their friendships.Soul Stealers choose to use the ominous powers of dark creatures called death beetles to steal the souls of innocent victims and use their life-forces to escape death. Once a soul is stolen, its life force is trapped inside a death beetle and the Soul Stealer attaches the death beetle to their body, whereupon the death beetle transforms and its shell solidifies, giving the creature the semblance of a hardened gem. The only way to save a stolen soul from permanent annihilation is to extract it from the death gem that resides on the body of a Soul Stealer host before the Soul Stealer uses it, and thus free the soul so it may escape into the Everlasting.Junto Kral and his group of Extractors are determined to rid their world of the deadly Soul Stealer menace, but as they learn more about the underbelly of these forces they realize just how overwhelming their job truly is...Book One in the exciting new Death Gems series!

On their way to a secret night of pleasure with Human females, two care-free Takans encounter a brutally battered Human female who warns them of imminent Volgarian violence; but as they dig deeper into the mystery and uncover a hideous Volgarian plot that involves the desecration of Takan graves, they realize they must enter the dark and dangerous Black Woods to confront an ancient evil that threatens the destruction of the entire Takan race.The Black Woods contain darkly gnarled trees born from the seeds of sorcery, strange plants given unnatural life from the fertilizing spread of decaying magic, abnormal soil deeply contaminated with the residue of the Alchemy Wars from decades long past. Pockets of Black Woods have sprouted all over the world of Teradynea in isolated growths of midnight-black trees, most of these unexplored parcels of poisoned land still shrouded in secrecy. The tainted flora and fauna that sprout and flourish within these areas of permanent shadow contain mysterious powers that can be harvested and gathered for good. Or for evil.What secrets do the Black Woods hold? Rin and his friend Joktala will soon discover that the Black Woods contain a hidden danger far more perilous than any they could have ever imagined, threatening a fragile peace that has lasted for decades between the somber Humans, the brutish and crass Volgarians, and the happy-go-lucky Takans.
