Soul Seekers — Jake C. Wallace

Nineteen-year-old college student Levi Reed has spent his life with hollow emotions and a darkness so deep that he's convinced he's losing his mind. He'd give anything to feel something, anything, real.

When a mysterious stranger appears, Levi is convinced the man is trying to kill him. When he's near, Levi experiences head-crushing pain and something surprising -- real emotions for the first time. Jeb Monroe is arrogant, self-assured, closed-off, and handsome, but he isn't the harbinger of doom Levi assumed. Jeb's mission: help Levi find his missing soul.

Levi is pulled into the secret world of Seers and Keepers, those born with the innate ability to manipulate souls and tasked with balancing the negative energy they can produce. Levi learns he possesses a rare gift, and he's in danger. As Jeb and Levi grow closer, they discover a group of zealots who want to harness Levi's power to cleanse the world of damaged souls. Everyone Levi cares for is threatened unless he agrees to become their tool of death. But agreeing could spell the destruction of humankind. With no one to trust and nothing as it appears, it's up to Levi to save them all.
