Arya was never meant to belong here. Cursed, hunted, and bound to a power that can raise the dead, she has spent her life running - from the enemies who want her destroyed, and from the truth of what she is. But secrets have a way of surfacing, and when her husband stumbles into her darkest power, the fragile peace they’ve built begins to unravel.

Karim thought marriage was routine until the night he learned his wife wasn’t just human. Now, as portals rip open and monsters spill across Earth, he finds himself standing on the front lines of a war he doesn’t understand - one he must survive if the world he knows is to remain standing.

But Arya’s battle is no less perilous. Dragged back toward the realm she’s tried to escape, she must face the demons of her past and the curse that has defined her existence. Victory means freedom. Failure means losing not just herself, but the family she’s finally begun to call her own.

As Earth teeters on the brink and old enemies rise from the shadows, husband and wife will have to fight two wars: one for the world’s survival, and one for their own souls.

The poison is spreading faster than I'd hoped. It has covered most of my upper hand. It's probably the reason I hadn't been able to heal fast enough - it is weakening me, rotting me from inside.


I had almost panicked when I opened my eyes and saw Xian Xi kneeling beside me, thinking that he had seen my arm - but he hadn't.


Now, we have to face Dove. I don't want to fight her. I don't want to fight anyone.


My eyes flash to the Annihilator on the floor beside me.


"You should rest". Xian Xi says, placing a restraining hand on my knee.


Then, I catch a brief glimpse of it - her soul. It shines like a tiny piece of the sun.


That's the real her, not a clone. Arigana is still alive somewhere, but suppressed.


I rise to my feet, ready to warn Xian Xi, but the clones shuffle and I can no longer tell which one is the real Dove.
