An initial book published in the Soul Eater series is entitled ‘Witches’ Bane’. This book was released by the Crazy Ace publication in the year 2016. The important characters mentioned in the book include Ace Dante, Isis, Osiris, Bastet, Thoth, etc. Author DaCosta had set the story in New York, the United States. At the start of the story of the book, it is shown that Ace Dante did not earn his name of Godkiller, but it was given to him by others. However, he says that he will own it in 3 days. It is learned that witches have started to disappear from a number of places in New York, but Ace Dante doesn’t seem to care about it at all. Later, when one of his own friends gets held at gunpoint, he is left with no other option, but to agree to do whatever job he is asked to do. The witch who holds his friend produces the severed arm of Ace Dante in front of him. The arm bears a hieroglyph that seems quite unusual. Just taking one look at the hieroglyph, Ace Dante realizes that it is the time for him to take things seriously. He seems to recognize the mark quite well. The mark looks like connected to Ace in several ways that he does not understand yet. But, he wonders why the hieroglyph is on the arm of a dead witch. After a short while, Ace realizes that the severed arms and missing witches are not the only problems faced by him. He has to keep a promise with his new name of Godkiller. Ace is left with just 3 days to kill the Thoth, which is also a god. If he fails to do so, he will have to face the wrath of Osiris. Ace had defied Osiris once in the past and had acquired a curse because of which he became crippled for his entire life and turned into the puppet of Osiris for the entire eternity. Now, Ace knows that Osiris is not going to be lenient this time. Therefore, he must finish Thoth at any cost. The task seems highly impossible for Ace, because only a god can kill Thoth and Ace Dante is just a mercenary and not a god. Later, when the truth gets revealed with the casting of spells, Ace Dante feels that there is only one he can move out of all this. For this, he will have to turn himself into a monster that all the gods fear.

Another successful book of this series written by P DaCosta is called ‘Serpent’s Game’. This book was also released by Crazy Ace publishers in 2017.

Nick Jones, who is referred to as Cujo and doesn’t seem to have any connection with Ace Dante. But, things begin to get related after a familiar and mysterious box is found. This box has the mark of a Jackel with the head of a snake. The situation seems much more dangerous because the box is discovered in the open state. It appears that the gods have crossed their line too much. Ace Dante decides that he is done with being their puppet. Now, he has chosen to fight back and face whatever consequences come out of it. Shortly after, numerous hidden secrets begin to get unraveled and the friendships of Ace Dante begin to crumble in front him.
