Condemned by Grace is a dark literary fantasy centered on obsession, psychological cruelty, and the terror of repetition. Aiko and Min-Jun are bound to each other across an endless cycle of lives that always restart at some point: when their connection forms. Each time the world resets, they return with no memory of previous lives. To them, this existence feels singular, ordinary, and irreversible. It is not. Between each cycle lies the Orchard of Grieves, a suspended afterlife where they exist only briefly before being sent back again. The Orchard is not a place of judgment or redemption. It is a holding space sustained by unresolved attachment. The Loop exists because their bond generates extreme despair. Obsession, humiliation, dependence, and violence are not side effects. As long as their relationship continues to produce unbearable hopelessness, the world is allowed to restart. Their bond is not just romantic in the conventional sense. It is intimate, destructive, and unavoidable. Neither can escape the gravitational pull of the other, even as their connection becomes the primary source of their suffering. With each Loop, the damage compounds. Though their memories reset, their instincts sharpen. Patterns repeat with increasing precision. The violence becomes more deliberate. The silence more suffocating. The bond tighter and more dangerous. The novel follows one particular iteration in which the emotional collapse occurs earlier and more violently than before. As Aiko retreats entirely from the world and Min-Jun’s fixation escalates into control, the Orchard itself begins to destabilize. For the first time, the Loop shows signs of fracture. At its core, Condemned by Grace asks whether love is defined by possession or release, and whether freedom is possible for those who survive only through suffering. It is a story about two people who cannot save each other, cannot forget each other, and cannot stop reenacting the same destruction. They are not punished for their obsession. They are sustained by it.
