In the rain-slicked, neon-bleeding towers of Neo-Aethelgard, advanced cybernetics and volatile, ancient sorcery have fused into a dangerous reality. Valen Vance is a man trapped in a devastating, agonizing temporal loop. Cursed by a dark, parasitic magical relic fused to his chest cavity, he is granted a second chance to rewrite history every time the woman he loves dies. But every reset demands a terrible toll, eating away at his memories, his sanity, and his humanity. To break the cursed cycle, Valen must navigate a dark web of corporate technomancy and cosmic horror—even if saving her means destroying his own soul.
