Book 1 : Chained across many lifetimes (A Starbound Series)

Some loves defy the gods. Some curses last forever. For thousands of years, Giana has loved the same man across countless lifetimes. Once, she was a mortal girl who climbed a sacred mountain and fell in love with a king—the immortal Linchpin who held back the darkness between worlds. When he made her immortal so they could stay together, the gods declared it a crime against the balance of creation. Their punishment became a curse. The King would be reborn again and again, his memories wiped clean with every death. Giana would remain immortal. Watching. Waiting. Remembering. In every lifetime she finds him.In every lifetime they fall in love.And in every lifetime… he dies. Worse still, the gods decreed that she would always be torn away moments before his final breath. She has never held him as he died. Never whispered goodbye. A thousand lives.A thousand deaths.A thousand farewells she was never allowed to say. Kaelen Vance believes in facts. A billionaire CEO who trusts logic and control, he has no patience for myths or destiny. Yet since childhood he has been haunted by dreams that feel more like memories—visions of a frozen mountain, endless deaths, and a woman with ancient eyes. Then he meets her. Time stops. And something deep in his soul begins to awaken. Now Giana must convince a man who believes only in reality that the madness invading his mind is not madness at all. It is memory. But as the truth begins to return, so do the enemies who once destroyed them. Because the gods’ punishment may not have been the real curse. Something far darker has been watching their suffering for centuries—an unseen force that feeds on their agony and ensures their love always ends in tragedy. And now that the King has begun to awaken… the war that shattered the past is about to begin again. An immortal cursed to remember.A king reborn without his past.A love that refuses to die—even when the world does. And if the gods truly caused their suffering… they will make the heavens answer for it.
