Chapter 1 Venice 1889
Ten years after their last farewell, Adrian Vale arrives in Venice beneath a silver moon and the glow of Carnival lanterns.
For five centuries, Adrian and Evelyn Blackthorne have followed the same ritual. Every ten years they reunite in a new city. Every ten years they fall in love again. And every ten years they part before disaster can find them.
Venice should be no different.
But when Adrian finds Evelyn waiting for him beneath the chandeliers of a masquerade palace, old wounds and older fears rise to the surface. Beneath their familiar banter lies a question neither has dared ask for centuries: how much longer can they keep saying goodbye?
As they wander moonlit canals, dance among mortals, and revisit memories spanning five hundred years, the weight of immortality begins to show. The loneliness. The regret. The endless cycle of separation.
For the first time, both Adrian and Evelyn allow themselves to admit the truth they have spent generations hiding.
They are tired.
Tired of leaving.
Tired of running.
Tired of pretending that love is easier than fear.
Set against the haunting beauty of nineteenth-century Venice, Chapter One begins an epic gothic romance that spans centuries, continents, and lifetimes. It is the story of two immortal souls bound by love, haunted by history, and searching for a future they no longer believe they deserve.
After five hundred years apart and together, they still find their way back to one another.
And for one perfect night in Venice, goodbye can wait.

Chapter 2 New York 1899
Ten years after their reunion in Venice, Adrian Vale and Evelyn Blackthorne meet again in a city rushing toward the future.
New York is alive with electric light, towering skyscrapers, and the promise of a new century. To Adrian, it feels like the world is finally changing. To Evelyn, it is another temporary stop on an endless journey.
For five hundred years, they have obeyed the same rule: never stay too long, never grow attached, and never risk discovering what happens if they remain together. History has taught them that every attempt ends in tragedy.
But this time is different.
As snow falls across Manhattan, Adrian begins questioning everything they have accepted as truth. What if the curse controlling their lives is nothing more than fear? What if they have spent centuries running from a disaster that was never truly theirs?
Evelyn refuses to entertain the possibility.
She has seen too much.
Lost too much.
And she is terrified of being wrong.
What begins as a quiet disagreement slowly grows into the most dangerous conflict they have ever faced—not between enemies, but between two people who desperately want the same thing and are afraid to admit it.
Beneath the lights of Broadway, beside a frozen lake in Central Park, and under the fireworks of New Year’s Eve 1899, Adrian and Evelyn are forced to confront a question neither can avoid any longer:
What if forever is possible?
As the twentieth century dawns, they make a choice that could change everything.
And somewhere beyond the city lights, an unseen figure watches.
For centuries, Adrian and Evelyn believed they were alone.
They were wrong.
