ELIA, THE SOUL COLLECTOR

Marie Vareille

Prophecies only exist if someone has enough courage to make them come true.

Elia Zafir is 16 years old, with grey eyes, a pale face dotted with freckles and red hair that she hides carefully under a turban because, where she's from, there's a rumour that anything unusual brings destruction and chaos.
She is a soul collector, a being without emotions, responsible for taking away those who have become a problem for society: the elderly, the ill, the opponents of the regime...
But one day she is asked to execute a young rebel who stole aspirin to save his little brother's life, and she can no longer obey her orders. She flees to the most forsaken part of the country, inhabited by the most dangerous exiles of society. Lost amongst immense open-pit mines, she will discover a destiny that is much bigger than her.

A bit geek and hooked to her smartphone, Marie Vareille has written two adult novels. Elia, la passeuse d'âmes is her first young adult novel.
