To Recarnia, reincarnation is celebrated. Two holidays a year bring together children from all across the empire to seek who they were in a past life. Rueln Layheart thought he was safe when he didn’t find memories of a past life after going through the Hall of Memory. He believed witnessing the return of one of the great rulers, Vhal Aairith, would be the end. Rueln preferred to live out his life with his family in peace.Fate is a cruel shadow at his back when he learns only three years later that he is the true reincarnation of Vhal, their empire’s first empress. Determined to live his own life apart from the politics and treachery of his last life, Rueln tries to keep his identity to himself. Fate, however, has other plans, leading him down a long road of discovery, a past full of secrets, lies, and heartbreak, to a future he could have never imagined. Rueln must decide if he will break the eternity curse or bind himself more to it, one lifetime after another. Is his end an eternity alone or with the love of all his lifetimes? Can one soul break Eternity’s Chain and rewrite the fate of his world, or will the chains force him to continue its unending cycle?
