Eighteen-year-old Scarlett is convinced that her vivid dreams are not real, until she starts living through the eyes of Violetta Blackwell. In her dreams, she encounters a mysterious stranger with beaming red eyes and blood-laced claws, the same man who saved her life at her high school graduation camping party: Ember Griffin. But how could a dream alter her entire existence? Scarlett soon discovers that she is a rare soul splinter, and Ember, her soulmate, is still alive three and a half centuries later. Ember, recently released from the prison realm, had intended to rip Scarlett's soul out. However, he unexpectedly saves her life instead. Plagued by the darkness of his past and haunted by the loss of Violetta, he questions his ability to love Scarlett. As he watches her and uncovers the lies of her family's past, he struggles to justify his immoral thoughts about her. In this forgotten world, Scarlett wields the power to alter the past, but every action has a price-even her own life. Her connection with Ember grows stronger, but with it comes the risk of losing herself entirely. Can Scarlett survive the vengeance of Violetta and find a way to control her abilities? And will Ember overcome his troubled past to embrace his feelings for her or will he manipulate her memories and force Violetta to the surface?
