Death didn't end it
Some debts don't clear at death. Some loves don't end with a body. Some enemies are patient enough to wait for your next life. ๐ These books take the premise literally - the soul has a history, and that history is not done with you. Whether you're born again into the same war, haunted by a love you can't name but somehow recognize, or hunted by something ancient that has been counting the lives between then and now, the past in these novels is not past. โผ๏ธ
