It’s Supposed to be simple.
Report to the government institute on your 18th birthday.
Get scanned and matched to your past lives.
Receive a career path and inheritance (if you’re lucky, a soulmate too).
Go about your merry way, knowing who you were and who you are.
Sivon should’ve known her visit wouldn’t be that simple. The signs were there - her uncanny knack for winning strategic games as well as her mom’s ability to read everyone’s auras, everyone’s except Sivon's. With her indecipherable colors, she was just hoping she wasn’t a bad soul. You know, the tragic ones with criminal histories who leave the institute in handcuffs.
Sivon couldn’t have guessed she'd leave the institute surrounded by armed security, saddled with an infuriating bodyguard who’s as stand-offish as he is off-limits. Hounded by the masses, driven into hiding, and hanging on to the guy she can never have, Sivon realizes the painful truth - this life isn’t a game, but to survive, she needs to play like it is.
