The Thread Between Lives (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798233313219)

In every life, in every time, Naomi dies in Rita's arms.

It is the brutal, unshakeable law of their universe. They are two halves of the same remembering, destined to find one another, fall in love, and be torn apart by war, time, or fire. Before her final breath, Naomi always makes the same promise: "I will find you again."

Their love becomes a rebellion spanning centuries. From the smoke-filled parlors of the Harlem Renaissance and the politically charged streets of 1970s America to a distant future among the stars, Rita follows Naomi. Rita is the grounded artist and mapmaker; Naomi is the revolutionary force of light.

Now, on the terraformed planet of Ardaan, they achieve the impossible. They create the Living Archive, a technology powerful enough to reshape the galaxy and draw the attention of every enemy they have ever faced. When a violent attack shatters their physical forms, only memory remains. They are left with the terrifying truth that their love is the most coveted code in existence.

Every lifetime has ended in tragedy. To survive, they must transcend flesh, technology, and time itself. This time, they have to rewrite destiny.
