After five failed lifetimes spent trying to beat fate, Ellie Blackwell's faith that things will be different this time is long gone. Her heart has been shattered one too many times and she's not prepared to let it happen again. Broken and beaten down, she has all but given up. Her's is a destiny that cannot be changed; she's accepted that now. But there is one path she hasn't tried before, one choice she's never made, one man she's never said yes to... Could he be the key to changing her fate? Or will burying her heartache in another just make everything worse? Surrounded by the same souls that have followed her for seven lifetimes, Ellie decides to forfeit her fight with destiny before it even begins. But ignoring your heart after two hundred years isn't easy; especially when the past just won't let go. In the fourth and final book of The Return Series we bounce back and forth between present day and Ellie's sixth lifetime in the late 70's. Mysteries will finally be solved and questions will finally be answered. And, with Ellie's eighteenth birthday rapidly approaching, she somehow needs to find the strength to fight for her life. But will she be able to take all she's learned over these past seven lifetimes and change her present enough to give her a chance at a future? Or is Ellie still cursed to have this lifetime end like the ones before? ***If you haven't read the other books in The Return Series, it's HIGHLY recommended that you start this mystery from the beginning.

The same souls that have surrounded her in the past still find her again and, despite her best efforts, she can't seem to free herself from them. Ellie is left with no choice but to begin solving some of the mysteries that have haunted her for four other lifetimes and to try, once again, to prevent her murder from happening on her eighteenth birthday. As we journey back and forth through both Ellie's past and present lives, she learns that she isn't the only one in her circle keeping dark secrets.
