Lucien Vale, a fallen angel bound by a curse older than time, has spent eternity watching the women he loves die. Each reborn without memory of him, each loss another scar on his immortal soul.
When he meets Aria Solenne, a melancholy painter whose dreams echo fragments of lives long past, he vows to keep his distance. But when her art begins to reveal their shared tragedies... scenes only he could remember, Lucien realizes fate is already moving against them.
As Aria's memories awaken, so too do the ancient shadows that have hunted them through centuries. The curse begins to unravel, tearing holes in the fragile fabric between worlds.
Now, Lucien faces an impossible choice:
To let her die once more and save the world from collapse,
or defy heaven itself, and damn eternity for one final touch.
The idea is complete, full skeleton of the book is done. Now I am just finalizing edits and lengthening as I see fit before I publish each chapter! Enjoy!

When she starts seeing him in the real world-on the train, in her hallway, in her mirror- she realizes the dreams were never dreams at all. They were a warning.

The Shadows (The Paranormal Series #1)
Amelia; The shadows are following me. And along with them, follows blood-red eyes, dark hair, sharp canines, and a scorching touch. I thought I was hallucinating...but not anymore. Ares; I lost my fated one not once or twice, but multiple times. Seeing her again made me long for her smile, her touch, her scent, and crave all the moments we had lost. But I won't lose her...not in this lifetime. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I felt his finger trail up from my arm...slowly...gently...up to my neck, and my head moved of its own accord, allowing him more access. His finger found its way to my face and he cupped my cheek. Surprisingly, his hand was firm, warm, and gentle. His eyes looked at me with so much sincerity and warmth. He leans into my neck, and I stiffen up as I feel his sharp teeth grazing my neck. I expected him to bite me so I tightly shut my eyes. "Your fragrance bewitches my senses with an intoxicating allure." I didn't think he'd speak, and I most definitely did not expect his voice to be so...deep and hoarse. My mind finally registers the words he said, and so I opened my mouth to speak but a scream escapes instead as I feel him dig in his fangs. (Unedited)
