After dying together on the battlefield, Rowan Vale and Caelan Thorne awaken years before their final battle—back when they were still students at Astra Academy. In their previous life, they were legendary enemies who fought until their last breath. Now, fate forces them into a soul-binding contract that no one else can break. Rowan hides his overwhelming power, determined to live a quiet life away from war and revenge. Caelan, the blind warrior feared by everyone, possesses a mysterious curse that prevents anyone from forming a bond with him—except Rowan. As they are forced to fight side by side, their hatred slowly turns into trust, and their rivalry becomes a connection neither can escape. Behind the academy’s magical trials lies a greater conspiracy involving ancient powers, hidden identities, and the war that destroyed their world. With enemies closing in and memories of their past lives returning, Rowan and Caelan must uncover the truth before history repeats itself. A fantasy romance about rebirth, rival warriors, forbidden bonds, and the one person who can make a blind war god lose control.
