The Release: Ten Lives, One Curse

Cael Adams can see the past lives of anyone he looks at. He discovered this three months after a motorcycle accident, and he has told no one.

When he finds Lyra - a restaurant owner who was born with the same ability - they travel to northern Thailand to find a forest monk who can explain what they are. His answer is not what either of them expected: the gift exists to help others, not yourselves. Every time you restore love between two people, one of your shared past lives will open.

They have shared ten lives. A hawk and a human. Two wolves in the same pack. Strangers who saved each other and parted without knowing names. Siblings. Lovers. A cat that stayed until its owner's last breath.

And a tenth life - the one neither of them has seen - where everything began.

As Cael and Lyra work their way backward through the lives they've shared, the question that has been waiting beneath all of them slowly comes into focus: why, across ten lifetimes and every form love can take, have they never been able to stay?

The answer is a curse. And Cael is the one who cast it.

A novel about what love looks like when it has no language. About the shape of harm that carries across time. And about whether forgiveness - the highest form of love - can close a circle that has been open for ten lives.
