Maryah erased all memory of her past lives, but she couldn’t erase her soul mate Nathan, or his undying love. Now, Maryah and Nathan have a second chance at a future together, but first Maryah must remember the person she used to be and embrace her supernatural gifts—more than one kindrily member’s life depends on it.
Maryah’s power is Harmony’s best hope of finding her kidnapped soul mate, Gregory. But Harmony isn’t big on asking anyone for help, and she’s tired of waiting, so she’s taking matters into her own hands. Heaven help anyone who stands in her way.
Excerpt from Taking Back Forever:
In the short week since Maryah’s
momentary remembrance of him, Nate had come alive again. He smiled all the
time. His eyes were brighter. I was happy for him, but it left me feeling more
alone than ever. He had been my partner in suffering over our lost soul mates.
But not anymore.
I gazed at the landscape of Sedona
behind him. To myself, I could admit my jealousy of his and Maryah’s reunion,
but I’d never say it out loud. “How’s it feel? To have her back after all this
time?”
“I don’t have her back. She hardly remembers anything. But I don’t have to hide who and what I am anymore, or that I love her. She knows who she was and where she belongs. I’m patiently waiting for her to figure out who she is now, and what she’s capable of.”
“She loves you. I can see it.”
“I am ecstatically grateful for that.
But I still feel the loss of her, of all the time we shared together. It’s like
we’re getting to know each other for the first time all over again. We haven’t
had to do that for hundreds of years.” His head drooped. “What if she doesn’t
like what she discovers?”
“Oh, please. You two light up
around each other. That girl is smitten, and so are you.”
His cheeks flushed. “It’s amazing how much more you appreciate someone after you’ve lost them. Her happiness means everything to me. I want to give her the world, the magical and beautiful one she can no longer see, but I worry that’s no longer possible."
"Give it time. If there’s one thing Mary proved over and over, it’s that anything is possible.”
(Book 1 of The Kindrily series)
Leave it to Maryah Woodsen to break the one rule that will
screw up eternity: Never erase your memories.
Before entering this life, Maryah did the unthinkable—she
erased. Now, at seventeen years old, she’s clueless that her new adoptive
family has known her for centuries, that they are perpetually reincarnated
souls, and that they have supernatural abilities. Oh, and she's supposed to
love (not despise) Nathan, the green-eyed daredevil who saved her life.
Nathan is convinced his family’s plan to spark Maryah's
memory is hopeless, but his love for her is undying. After spending (and
remembering) so many lifetimes together, being around an empty version of his
soulmate is heart shattering. He hates acting like a stalker, but has no choice
because the evil outcast who murdered Maryah in their last lifetime is still
after her.
While Maryah’s hunter inches closer, she and Nathan make
assumptions and hide secrets that rip them further apart. Maryah has to believe
in the magic within her, Nathan must have faith in the power of their love, and
both need to grasp onto the truth before they lose each other forever—and discover
just how lonely eternity can be.
