In the quiet between worlds, some hearts echo louder than time. Everyone adores Indigo Wolfe. But all he wants is for someone to truly see him. Charismatic, beautiful, and reckless, Indigo moves through high school like a legend come to life. People love him easily, desperately. But Indigo wears his popularity like armor so no one knows the truth. Inside, he’s quietly unravelling. Indigo is haunted by secrets he can’t explain. Like piercing emotions that aren’t his, voices no one else hears, and visions that defy reality. He’s consumed by a magic he doesn’t understand and can’t control. The only logical explanation is that he’s slowly losing his mind. Everything changes the day he meets her, a girl who truly sees him. A girl he somehow remembers. Because he’s loved her before. In other lives. Again and again. But fate is never kind for long. When they’re torn apart, Indigo is thrust into a hidden world of secrets and magic. A world of strange truths and ancient echoes. Here he finds people like him, a family that finally makes sense, who make the world make sense. There’s a name for what he is. His powers are real. His pain has purpose. And there’s a reason he keeps finding, and losing, the same girl, life after life. As Indigo uncovers the truth about who he is and what he’s capable of, he’s faced with a choice: surrender to fate, or stand against it. For love. For truth. For the self he has never fully known. Set in the 1990s between the sun-drenched beaches of Sydney and the red deserts of Arizona, DESCENDED is the electrifying first book in a sweeping four-part saga. Heart-wrenching, spellbinding, and unforgettable, it’s a story of deep soul love, found family, and the timeless struggle to change a destiny written in the stars. ā€œIf you’re looking for a bingeable book with all the ā€˜hit you in the feels’ vibes of reading Stephenie Meyer f or the first time, this is it!ā€ @hauntedhousebooks on BookTok "All the stars for this masterpiece!" @onceuponabooksta on Bookstagram ā€œā€¦this is a book I CANNOT stop thinking about!...
