Stealer of Souls is a long-awaited, completely new, never previously published story.“…Her hallmarks include laugh-aloud humour, plenty of magic and imaginative array of alternate worldsYet, at the same time, a great seriousness is present in all of her novels, a sense of urgency that links Jones’s most outrageous plots to her readers’ hopes and fears…”
