Starbound: Chained across many lifetimes
Some loves are strong enough to defy the gods. Some curses are cruel enough to last forever.
For over a thousand years, Giana has done the impossible: she has loved the same man across countless lifetimes, watching him die and be reborn again and again, never once remembering who she is—or who he once was.
She was a mortal girl who dared to climb a sacred mountain and found a king. He was the Linchpin, the immortal guardian who held back the darkness between worlds. When he made her immortal to save her, the gods punished them both with a curse more devastating than death: he would be reborn endlessly, his memory wiped clean each time, while she would remain forever—the sole keeper of their love story, doomed to find him and lose him across eternity.
Until now.
Kaelen Vance is a billionaire CEO who has everything—wealth, power, a mind that has built an empire from nothing. But he has never been able to explain the nightmares that have haunted him since childhood: visions of mountains and snow, of a woman with ancient eyes reaching for him, of deaths that feel more real than his own life. When he walks into a coffee shop and locks eyes with a stranger across the room, his carefully ordered world shatters.
She knows him. She has always known him. And for the first time in a thousand years, something in him knows her too.
But their awakening has not gone unnoticed. The darkness the King once held at bay is stirring, drawn to the light of his returning power like moths to flame. Ancient evils are waking, drawn to the fracture in the curse—and they will stop at nothing to destroy the love that could undo them.
Now Giana must help Kaelen remember who he truly is before the shadows consume them both. But the memories come with a cost: every lifetime he recalls brings with it the pain of every death, every goodbye, every moment she held his hand as he slipped away. And the man he has become—a logical, controlled, emotionally guarded CEO—must confront a truth more terrifying than any nightmare: that he is not who he thought he was, that he has loved this woman across centuries, and that the walls he built around his heart exist for a reason he could never have imagined.
A love that outlasted the gods themselves.
A curse designed to break them forever.
A darkness that remembers what they have forgotten.
They have found each other again. But in a world where memories are weapons and shadows are hungry, finding each other is only the beginning. The war for their love—and for the world itself—is just beginning.
And this time, they will fight together.
