In a world shaped by ancient magic, Ara was born with a connection unlike any other. Set in 5000 BCE, she and her twin sister, Nira, live in a small, tight-knit tribe. While Nira is adored, basking in the tribe's love and attention, Ara stands in her shadow-quiet, reserved, and attuned to a force far older than anyone can comprehend. What begins as a faint whisper from the earth soon grows into an unstoppable power within Ara, a magic both sacred and dangerous. As her bond with the earth deepens, Ara finds herself isolated, her connection to her sister fraying and her relationship with Kahi, her closest friend, crumbling under the weight of secrets. Love, jealousy, and fear collide as Ara wrestles with a power she never asked for but cannot deny. Chosen by the ancient forces of the earth, Ara is bound to a destiny that will stretch beyond her first life. Her tragic fate will set in motion a journey that transcends time, as she is reborn again and again, destined to live out her soul's path through different eras and worlds. Can Ara learn to control the magic within her before it consumes her entirely, or will her power lead her down a path of destruction? What happens when, centuries later, she is reborn into the future, bound once again by time-and by the magic that refuses to let her go?

(Previously known as 'Forbidden love') My legs have a mind of their own and i find myself walking towards the bathroom. She left it unlocked. I turn the handle and open the door. The steam escaping. I walk further in and shut the door behind me. I don't think she can hear me. I strip from my clothes and push them to the side. I walk up to the bath tub that has a shower attached. I move the curtain out of the way and her back is facing me. She looks so beautiful right now it's too late to turn away. I step in and wrap my arms around her naked waist and rest my forhead on her shoulder blade. I hear her gasp and her body stills under my touch. Still not facing me, i speak.
