The Ring of Lost Souls - Rachel Tsoumbakos

What if fairy tales were real? "The figure was dark with jagged little edges. While it was an image only caught fleetingly out of the corner of her eye, it was possible to make some distinction in regards to its identity, which was not unlike a raven in appearance." Larundel - A place plagued by lost souls. A ring that has claimed a few of them. And a woman who is about to collide with a world she has forgotten about. When an abandoned mental asylum is set to be redeveloped, sinister events unfold in the community surrounding it. Isobel moves into the neighbourhood looking for a new future only to find a past she never knew belonged to her. Is she a sane person living in an insane world or a crazy person trapped in reality? Set in an actual abandoned mental institution on the outskirts of Melbourne, Australia, THE RING OF LOST SOULS is a fast-paced fairy tale weaving together a believable blend of fantasy, urban legend and pure insanity.
