When given a second life, do you choose to repent, rebel, or rule?
Some enter seeking salvation. Others leave in ruin. But no one escapes unchanged.
Tristan awakens in Djannet, a city that promises order, justice, and second chances, where the sky shimmers with hues unseen in the mortal world, and rivers of light carve through cities of ivory and gold-a paradise untouched by time. But beneath its beauty lies a world of secrets, past lives linger, sins take form, and the promise of redemption may be the greatest illusion of all.. A world where your virtues determine your status, and your sins leave permanent marks. But in Djannet, sins are more than mistakes-they are currency. Every transgression earns Taint Tokens, a dark stain on the soul. Accumulate too many, and you become something... less than human.
Yet, Tristan has no memory of committing a crime. No reason to feel the unease clawing at his mind. No explanation for why his reflection seems unfamiliar.
Then, there's Leila, a woman whose beauty hides scars the world refuses to see. There's Adam, a man who should be broken, yet wields power over the sinners like a devil in the shadows. There are whispers of a rebellion, a child with knowledge no one should possess, and a secret buried so deep within Djannet's foundations that to uncover it would mean unraveling reality itself.
As the city teeters on the edge of chaos, Tristan must choose: obey the system, defy it, or burn with it. Because in a world where memories are never truly erased, one question haunts them all:
What if the worst thing you've ever done... hasn't happened yet?
Second Book of the Soul - Celesi Veil Trilogy
When the living essence of three girls are put at risk, giving room for a second essence within themselves, even their hyper developed fantasy world might not be enough to contain their new found ambitions. Another story of another world, these three girls must adapt to their new essence, all while each is left to question if they are truly still even alive.
**{While this story is a sequel of the trilogy, it is also fully capable of standing alone in its own light, taking place in a distant corner of a Celese returning readers will be otherwise incapable of recognizing.}**
