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!
