SoulBound

**SOULBOUND** is a dark supernatural drama that dives headfirst into the gritty world of identity, vengeance, and messy alliances. LISA SMITH, the high school queen bee with a reputation for being ruthless, wakes up from a brutal car crash and feels… off. Really off. She quickly realizes she’s been possessed by CERBERUS—the massive, three-headed guard dog of Hell, the guy every demon in Hades fears. And it’s not just the possession throwing her life into chaos; her parents were just murdered in cold blood, and somehow, she’s the prime suspect. With Cerberus living inside her and hellbent on retrieving his lost power, Lisa’s high school kingdom of cheerleading, parties, and popularity is about to get real dark. The two are forced into an uneasy alliance when they learn that *Zagreus*, son of Zeus and punkish god of rebellion, has stolen *the Mandalen*—a mystical key that can blow open the gates between Earth and Hell. Zagreus wants to resurrect his mother, *Persephone*, and doesn’t care if it means unleashing a new level of Hell on Earth. But that’s only one of Lisa’s new problems. Enter *Bugsy*, a twisted soul invader who brutally murdered her parents, and he’s looking to use the Mandalen for his own gain. Bugsy's goal? Ultimate power. And as much as Lisa wants revenge, her life now hinges on keeping Cerberus from taking full control of her soul, or worse, dragging her down to Hell. Throughout her hunt for the Mandalen, Lisa gets pulled deeper into a world she didn’t even know existed, facing off against supernatural threats while trying to maintain what’s left of her humanity. The longer Cerberus shares her body, the more his brutality starts to rub off on her, and the more she feels his bloodlust. But he’s also forced to confront the strange and uncomfortable feeling of human emotions he’s never had to deal with in Hell. With Bugsy hot on their trail, Zagreus unleashing chaos, and the police closing in, Lisa and Cerberus form an unlikely bond, balancing on a razor’s edge between survival and revenge. Lisa is forced to ask herself: Is vengeance worth the price of her humanity? And Cerberus, feeling flickers of empathy for the first time, wonders if he can even stomach his own brutal nature anymore. It’s a hell of a high-stakes team-up, one last shot at redemption—if they don’t kill each other first.
