An inventive and romantic speculative novel about two women—a witch and an immortal demon—who make a Faustian bargain and are drawn into a cat-and-mouse chase across multiple lifetimes.

1592. Cybil Harding is a First Daughter. Cursed to bring disaster to those around her, she is trapped in a house with a mother paralyzed by grief and a father willing to sacrifice everything in pursuit of magic.

Miriam Richter is a creature of shadow. Forged by the dark arts many years ago, she is doomed to exist for eternity and destined to be alone—killing mortals and consuming their souls for sustenance. Everything changes when she meets Cybil, whose soul shines with a light so bright, she must claim it for herself. She offers a bargain: she will grant Cybil reincarnation in exchange for her soul.

Thus begins a dance across centuries as Miriam seeks Cybil in every lifetime to claim her prize. Cybil isn’t inclined to play by the rules, but when it becomes clear that Miriam holds the key to breaking her family curse, Cybil finds that—for the first time in her many lives—she might have the upper hand. As they circle each other, drawn together inescapably as light and dark, the bond forged between them grows stronger. In their battle for dominance, only one of them can win—but perhaps they can’t survive without each other.

Natasha Siegel has written an unexpected love story that feels both epic and deeply personal. Ambitious, gothic, and magical, As Many Souls as Stars is about the lengths we go to protect ourselves, our legacy, and those we love.

Great story!

A great show of what love and obsession does to the soul. As lines blur and passion rises, you’ll wonder what the difference between love and hate is.

Literally phenomenal

Wonderful prose, the characters are fantastic. It’s definitely not a healthy romance by any stretch of the imagination but the story is so unique and beautiful.

The narrator does an amazing job!

the voice the narrator uses for Miriam reminds me of Varang from the newest Avatar movie!

Absolutely captivating

It was beautifully written, the way the words produced such amazing visuals in your head. The narration added to the beauty of it all, nicely capturing both main characters personalities and likeness. The story through the ages, the use of words and devastating love story was amazing.

Outstanding tale, dark and beautiful.

This book was recommended to me. I enjoyed every second of this dark tale. The reading is perfection. The book never became dull, kept me engaged and enthralled. I loved every second of this book.
