The story is from the POV of Theo & Auryn living in Australia. The storyline concentrates on their past lives and reincarnation of being basically soulmates finding and losing each other each lifetime (not be confused with romance troupes this just a dark fantasy). In each life they fight a dark enemy only to be killed only to do it again. There is a timeline of weaving through the past and present to explain more and more about the characters as well as their enemy. Theo was very realistic and the writing spoke of dealing with depression. Auryn a very amazing character because though he was a male he didn't have the toxic masculinity as you see in a lot male fantasy characters... he was able to talk about and embrace his insecurities without overly trying to compensate. There's a few mental health issues brought up in the story that makes this book relatable though it's fantasy from depression, eating disorders, and anxiety. There's very detailed history aspects to this book and as you read you can see the research and effort that was put into the writing this amazing story.

The flow of the story was smooth and as a reader who reads somewhat faster I appreciated the length of the book being longer. This is a dark fantasy and I actually enjoyed reading it. The chapters had so much details that really enthralled you and it was very much appreciated with all the historical research to write this book. As a person not big on fantasy I was definitely impressed by this book...from the artwork of the cover, to the plot, to the ending. An amazing start to a series if you ask me.
