“A romance for the ages…one perfect little novel.” —Stacey Lee, award-winning author of The Downstairs Girl
The Sun Is Also a Star meets Outlander in this “unforgettable and artfully crafted romance” (Julie Murphy, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dumplin’) about two teens who relive their tragic love story over and over until they uncover what they must do to change their fate.
Tamar is a musician, a warrior, a survivor. Fayard? He’s a pioneer, a hustler, a hopeless romantic.
Together, Tamar and Fayard have lived a thousand lives, seen the world build itself up from nothing only to tear itself down again in civil war. They’ve even watched humanity take to the stars. But in each life one thing remains the same: their love and their fight to be together. One love story after another. Their only concern is they never get to see how their story ends. Until now.
When they finally discover what it will take to break the cycle, will they be able to make the sacrifice?

Why We Love It
“For fans of Outlander, The Sun Is Also a Star, and An Ember in the Ashes. Part romance, part historical fiction, part speculative, this teen novel is an epic story about two young adults whose love knows no bounds. It’s unlike any novel I’ve read before, and I am certain Tamar and Fayard’s relationship across the ages will sweep readers away.”
