    Summary

    “Love is a vampire’s greatest weakness, and we are not weak, Elijah. We do not feel and we do not care.”

    This is a story about the love Klaus Mikaelson lost before he ever became a monster, and the echo of that love he never stopped finding.
    In his human life, Klaus loved a girl whose death taught him that love is not gentle. It is destructive. It is the one thing powerful enough to break him. So when immortality followed, he chose cruelty over grief, survival over feeling, and told himself that love was a weakness he had outgrown.
    A thousand years later, Caroline Forbes should be nothing more than another human caught in his orbit. Instead, she becomes proof that some souls refuse to stay buried, and that the past does not remain dead just because it hurts too much to remember.
    This is a romance about tragedy, reincarnation, and the cruel irony of loving the same soul across lifetimes, knowing exactly how badly it ends.
