A Soul to Touch
All Mayumi ever wanted was to hunt demons. Discharged from the Demonslayer guild, she retreats into the solitude of the forest, where she can pursue her prey in peace. It's the perfect place to continue her mission—but one fateful night, a creature unlike any she's encountered before is lured into her traps.
Just as Mayumi draws her bow to strike, she freezes. The creature's face—half skeletal, half feline—is familiar. It’s the same face that once saved her life.
Faunus has always wanted Mayumi. As the Demon King’s servant, his purpose was clear—protect her at all costs. Now that his life is nearing its end, he’s returned to keep watch over the woman he once admired from afar. Although he knows she could never be his, Faunus remains devoted, willing to offer his final moments to guard her from whatever dangers lurk ahead.
But as their paths intertwine once more, Mayumi’s fiery spirit stirs something inside Faunus. A bond forms between them, unexpected yet undeniable. Though time is running out, Faunus is torn—how can he allow himself to be with the woman he desires when he knows nothing can save him from his impending death?
In this tale of love, sacrifice, and the haunting shadows of the past, A Soul to Touch explores the transformative power of connection, even in the face of the inevitable. Can Mayumi and Faunus overcome their destinies, or will fate tear them apart?
Perfect for fans of dark fantasy, enemies-to-lovers, and emotional journeys of self-discovery.
