Summary
Bekka Trevelyan is an arcanist, and the first woman to be made a Gentleman Scholar of Arcany at the University of Kabakak. Her graduate work was in refining a device to measure the potency of the winds of magic. Over her Yule holidays from teaching, she travels east on a field trip to test her theory about the Winds in the true Wyld. Instead, she finds herself swept up in the investigation of a kidnapping of an indigenous woman and her child by a demon that has possessed the body of a tracker.

Tam Warden was a war hero, and then a sort of government enforcer. He gave up rank and fame to marry across class lines. But government isn't done with him yet. He's called back to action to investigate Bekka's claims - discreetly. This is delicate work, because the truth could unbalance the nation.

Essa Bateman is a mercenary spy, a hard woman with no attachments and very few ethics. Few, it turns out, is more than 'none.' She sees the ripples of unrest from the underbelly of society, but deciding what to do about them is a different beast entirely.

In a world where gunpowder is manufactured from the souls of executed criminals, and the ultra-rich seek immortality at any price, where children labour in factories and the desperate poor turn to vampirism, where slavery is rampant and gangs rule the streets...

A few people are about to be heroes. They just don't know it yet.

But maybe, just maybe, the Revolution is coming.

'Phenomenally imaginative and intricately plotted, Soulstealer explores the cost of violence--even when necessary--and the corrupting influence of power, both magical and political. Cameron keenly examines the darkest depths of imperialist exploitation through the lens of a sweeping, science-filled adventure. The depth of worldbuilding is simply incredible, and continues to expand with every plot revelation' - Sunyi Dean, bestselling author of The Book Eaters©2026 Miles Cameron (P)2026 Orion Publishing Group Limited

Critic Reviews

Phenomenally imaginative and intricately plotted, Soulstealer explores the cost of violence--even when necessary--and the corrupting influence of power, both magical and political. Cameron keenly examines the darkest depths of imperialist exploitation through the lens of a sweeping, science-filled adventure. The depth of worldbuilding is simply incredible, and continues to expand with every plot revelation (Sunyi Dean)
Cameron is a fine writer, who balances a complex plot and detailed world-building. We get magical fights, sword & knife fights, and plenty of gunplay . . . if you want a story that's both exciting and thoughtful then you should definitely give this one a try (Mark Lawrence, author of The Broken Empire trilogy)

Soulstealer is another reminder of why Miles Cameron is such a rewarding author to follow. The world building has depth and texture, creating the sense of a living world that extends well beyond the immediate story. There is plenty to discover, and the setting enriches the action without overwhelming it.

The characters are equally compelling. Their motives, choices, and relationships give the story emotional weight and make its consequences matter. Cameron gives us people worth caring about, alongside a world worth exploring.

The pace and structure are excellent. Quieter moments give the characters room to develop, while the action carries the story forward with purpose. The result is absorbing and thoroughly satisfying.

Like Miles himself, whether writing as Miles or Christian Cameron, the audiobook narrators just keep getting better. Their performances bring out the characters and sustain the story’s momentum. An excellent listen.

Five stars: Cameron just keeps getting better
