Their love was written in blood, but their future is still unwritten Their love story was written a century ago. Now, their blood demands a new ending. For architect Elara Vega, the world is a place of blueprints and predictable outcomes. But on a trip to Venice, she is blindsided by a tidal wave of phantom grief, a feeling so powerful it brings her to her knees. She is not losing her mind. She is being haunted. The ghost is a story of a forbidden love in war-torn Shanghai, and the key is Jian Lei, a historian who reveals the unbelievable: Elara and Jian are descendants of two lovers whose romance was so epic, and whose betrayal was so absolute, it left a permanent, heritable scar on their DNA. This "soul's inheritance" is now waking up, pulling them together with a force that feels like fate. But they are not the only ones who know the secret. A shadowy biotech corporation, led by an enemy from their ancestors' past, is hunting them. They believe the echo in their genes is not a curse, but a cure-the key to engineering unbreakable human loyalty. From the canals of Venice to the vaults of Zurich, Elara and Jian are plunged into a desperate race against time, pursued by an enemy who can track their every move and listen to the memories in their blood. The only way to survive is to solve the mystery of what truly happened in Shanghai. But the truth, hidden in a lost song and a final, desperate warning, is more terrifying than any ghost. It's a secret that could save the world-or burn it to the ground. A breathtaking blend of high-concept science fiction, cinematic thriller, and epic historical romance, The Soul's Inheritance is a masterful page-turner that will leave you breathless.
