"In a cruise ship stateroom, a soul awakens in the afterlife, still dressed in the Roman servant garbs of his previous life. He can’t remember much, but a silent woman stands out in his memory: his first and only love. Unable to cope with an eternity without her, he leaps from the ship and back into the depths of the life stream. Five hundred years later, he awakens again in the same stateroom, alone and fueled with new memories of her. In his past lives she was a male insurgent, an elderly wise woman, an unruly servant. For a millennia the pair are tethered together, clashing in love and fear, betraying each other in times of war and famine. Before memory drives him mad, he vows to rescue her from the stream — even if it takes a thousand lifetimes more"-- Amazon
