BLURB:
We are the generation
that laughs at death.
Reincarnation; what
was once considered a gift of immortality has become an eternity of nightmares.
Nadia Richards lives
in a world plagued by reincarnation, a system of recycling souls where all past
memories, personalities and traumatic events are relived daily in disjointed
sequences. Trapped within their own warped realities, not even the richest and
most powerful are saved from their own minds unraveling. Madness is the new
human nature, and civilizations are crumpling beneath themselves trying to
outrun it.
Within a society that
ignores death, Nadia appears to be the one exception to the reincarnation trap.
Born without any reincarnated memories and with printless eyes, the hot
tempered 19 year old quickly becomes the ultimate prize to all those wishing to
end the vicious cycle, or for some, to ensure they could evade death forever.

EXCERPT
His top lip
curled, as it always did in his half smile. “I can’t stop thinking about it.”
“About what?”
In his hands,
he fiddled with the hunting knife. “You.” He twisted the blade and flicked out,
clearing the dirt under his nails. “You were going to leave me. You said it was
better this way, for the both of us.” The rasp of his accusing voice felt like
a guillotine above my neck.
I
uncomfortably shuffled back but didn’t speak.
“You were
right. Your life without me would be better. Easier. Safer.” Every word
strained from his lips as though he was pushing air from the pit of his
stomach. My eyes widened and my heart picked up speed. Diesel lightly shook his
head. “But this isn’t about making things easier. You’re with me now and you
won’t leave no matter how hard it gets.”
“That’s not
for you to decide,” I said with a cringe.
“Because if
you leave me—”
With an
anguished sign, I turned my head away. “Let me guess, you’ll always find me?
And if I try to run you will break my legs and chop off my fingers and remove
my eyes-”
“No. If you
leave me, I will vanish… and I don’t want to vanish, Nadia.”
Surprised, my
jaw went slack. Without even blinking, Diesel stilled his fumbling and
tightened his stare, looking at me in a way I felt penetrated to my very core.
“You don’t
know what it’s like living in this hell. I’m drowning under black water and I
can never surface. You remember what it feels like to have your body shut down
only to wake up not knowing which reality is real. It would’ve been easier to
fade into a drifter, to stop the fight all together and just crumple into the
purest of insanities. In my darkest moments I almost allowed it to happen, but
then I met you. The girl with no reincarnated memories. The one without a soul
imprint. It’s you, and only you, who can save me. But then you came into my
room with that story about how everything would be better if we were separated.
You left me tied to a bed, and for hours I thought I had lost you. Do you know
how that feels? To have everything you’ve ever wanted just walk out? I came to
realise just how dangerous you are to me. Just how easily you can break me in
half. That’s why I can’t let you leave.”
