For the crime of loving an ancient king's favorite harem slave, Demetrius, the king's most trusted soldier, was forced to watch his beloved Lilia executed alongside her sisters-pitched from a cliff outside ancient Babylon. But for Demetrius, the fate was worse than death, for his soul was stripped away and he was sentenced to eternal darkness, solitude, stasis.

Lilia has reincarnated over and over, awaiting the time when she could rescue her soulmate, restore his soul, and make him remember the powerful love they share.

Now that moment has come. With her sisters' help, Demetrius has broken free. His body has been restored. But he's still missing pieces of his soul and held in the thrall of the same high priest who cast the terrible curse so long ago.

With neither an intact soul nor any memory of where he's been or why, he devotes himself solely to pleasure and power, and finds plenty of both.

Somehow Lilia must convince him to reclaim his humanity, even though it means giving up all the rest. The wealth, the women, the power are a small price to pay for his soul. But only he can choose, and if he chooses wrong, he and Lilia and the love that might save us all will be lost forever.
