Plot Overview:
Prologue-1617, France
A young woman and a man-one a healer accused of witchcraft, the other a soldier loyal to the Church-are torn apart and condemned to die for their forbidden love. They vow to find each other again in another life.
Part I-1917: Shadows of the Past
Élise volunteers as a nurse near the front lines. After a bombing raid, she begins having vivid, dreamlike episodes of a life she doesn't recognize. She draws symbols she doesn't remember learning and speaks in dialects long dead. Her mental state begins to fray.
Meanwhile, Élise takes in a wounded David who is hiding among the dead. Despite donning the enemy's uniform, Élise conceals his identity. Their bond deepens, but danger and guilt claw at their edges.
Part II - Echoes of the Forbidden
Haunted by the recurring dreams of being burned at the stake and visions of a familiar stranger, Élise visits Madame Duvaux, who uncovers that she and David may be reincarnations of the doomed lovers from the 1600s. Time is folding in on itself.
As Élise and David begin to accept their unusual connection, they must also keep their affair secret from her fiancé, the military, and society.
Part III-The War Inside
Captain Lucien grows suspicious and violent. Élise is torn between duty and the surreal pull of David's soul. David's past as a deserter resurfaces. Visions intensify. Spirits of the past begin to influence the present, and supernatural events manifest around them: clocks stop, old mirrors show different times, and the dead begin to whisper.
Part IV-The Crossing
Lucien uncovers their affair and, in a violent confrontation, nearly kills David. Madame Duvaux performs a final séance, attempting to sever or fulfill the karmic bond between Élise and David.
War ends. But so does something else.
