The curse preserved everything except their life together.
Every life returns with memories of their love, their grief, and the family they lost. Through those lives, one mystery follows them: strangers with different faces, familiar eyes, and answers they refuse to give.

The Ones Who Wake
The first breath always burns. Sharp. Cold. Unfamiliar; her lungs had forgotten how to be alive again. She swallowed and forced the air down, jaw tightening until the sting eased.
Vera woke on a narrow cot.
The ceiling hung low above her, beams splintered with age, moss threading through the cracks like veins. Damp wood seeped into each breath. A lantern swayed from a hook, its flame flickering in rhythm with the crackle of a dying hearth.
She knew this place, not by name, but by the way the air held still, as if waiting for her to move first.
