Description
For fans of A Thousand Pieces of You and From Blood and Ash, an intricately told tale of forbidden love, war, and duty across the ages.
Aimee has lived countless lives, each erased by the Pattern, which pulls her from one doomed world to the next. Her mission is always the same: face death, save the world, and then start anew with no memories of the people or places left behind.
When she arrives in Hi Haven, she hides her dark past behind a foul-mouthed, detached exterior. But despite her efforts to stay distant from her new Wolf Squad, she can’t avoid forming bonds with the young shinobi. Or with Kiba, her silver-haired Squad Leader, with whom she shares a simmering tension after a forbidden encounter.
As war looms, Aimee defies her better judgment to save Kazuma — feared traitor and the man she may have loved half a century ago — from a prison worse than death. Tangled in guilt, with Kazuma hellbent on a second chance, feelings Aimee can barely remember threaten to reignite.
Torn between two men and the pull of duty versus love, she faces an impossible choice: sacrifice the world to save the people who’ve healed her soul or risk everything for the greater good.

“It felt like reading a blend of A Thousand Pieces of You meets From Blood and Ash—part scifi soul magic, part dark fantasy romance, all wrapped in the kind of pain only immortality and forgotten love can bring 🕊️🗡️💫.” - GR Review
“Her connection with Kiba, the silver-haired Squad Leader, had a tense and forbidden chemistry from the moment they met. The push and pull between them had me flipping pages hoping for more… and then there’s Kazuma 😭—a man from a past life who still remembers everything. He’s trapped, broken, and desperate for a second chance. And suddenly, Aimee is torn between a man her heart might still love and one it’s just beginning to understand. Oof, my heart. 💔🔥” - GR Review

The found family elements of this story are gorgeous, I love the Wolf Squad! The complex love story? Absolutely captivating, the tension leaving me breathless on so many occasions. I am absolutely ravenous for the next book.” - GR Review
