Starbound: Chained across many lifetimes
Some loves defy the gods. Some curses last forever.
For a thousand years, Giana has loved the same man across countless lifetimes—watching him die and be reborn, again and again, never once remembering her face. She was a mortal girl who climbed a sacred mountain and found a king. He was the Linchpin, the immortal who held back the darkness between worlds. When he made her immortal to save her, the gods punished them both: he would be reborn endlessly, his memory erased each time, while she would remain—the sole keeper of a love story he would never remember.
Until now.
Kaelen Vance is a billionaire CEO haunted by nightmares he cannot explain: mountains, snow, a woman with ancient eyes reaching for him—deaths that feel more real than his own life. Then he sees her. Across a crowded coffee shop, their eyes lock. And for the first time in a thousand years, something in him knows her too.
She knows him. She has always known him.
But their awakening has not gone unnoticed. The darkness the King once held at bay is stirring, drawn to the fracture in the curse like wolves to blood. Ancient evils are waking. They remember what he forgot. And they will not let him remember.
Now Giana must help Kaelen reclaim his truth before the shadows consume them both. But the past is a blade. Every memory cuts—every death, every goodbye, every moment she held his hand as he slipped away. A CEO who trusts logic, data, control. Now he must trust her. Must trust that the visions flooding his mind are not madness, but memory. Must accept that he loved her across centuries—and that the walls he built were never to keep others out, but to keep the truth buried.
A love that outlasted the gods.
A curse designed to break them.
A darkness that remembers.
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.
And this time, they will fight together and damn the gods.
