How the Story Always Ends
A woman discovers she is connected to a murder committed before she was born, and she has the victim's memories.
Paloma is grieving her enigmatic mother when she finds a book about children who remember past lives, and her own name is in it. At four years old, she described a man's brutal murder. Now a stranger named Dante is having the same memories. From the sun-drenched streets of modern Los Angeles to the colonial-era Caribbean Sea, they must uncover the truth about their last deaths, or meet the same violent end again.
"That was the problem with fate. Each path you picked, you picked blind."
Suspense about love, fate, and the things we can't outrun
