Spirit Contractor's Covenant

Rowan Ashwood has a gift and a curse: he can form binding contracts with spirits, gaining their powers and abilities. The price? Each contract claims a piece of his soul. With every spirit he binds, he becomes less human—more cold, more distant, more... other. Now, with twelve spirits contracted and less than half his soul remaining, Rowan must navigate a world where spirits and humans are on the brink of war. He's the bridge between realms, trusted by neither side, feared by both. When an ancient spirit offers him a contract that could end the conflict, Rowan must make an impossible choice: sacrifice what remains of his humanity to save both worlds, or let everything burn to keep the fragments of who he used to be. Rich worldbuilding brings the setting to life with detailed magic systems, mythical creatures, and lands waiting to be explored. The fantasy elements are woven naturally into a story that rewards attentive readers.
