As Many Souls as Stars
by Natasha Siegel
A demon and a witch locked in a centuries-spanning game of obsession and desire across three lifetimes of English history. The lush gothic prose is endlessly quotable, the sapphic Faustian bargain subverts Doctor Faustus, and the reincarnation mechanic keeps each timeline fresh while building toward an earned, devastating conclusion.
