Now teenagers, they've been told their bond goes deeper than friendship. Allie and Cole are soul mates, destined to fall in love with one another again and again across the ages. For Cole, who remembers the past, the news is welcome. But Allie resists what she sees as a threat to her freedom, a ghost story, perhaps even a fantastical plan designed to control her . . . In rebellion, Allie pushes Cole away-leaving him to battle the memories that haunt him and the pain of losing her once and for all. But his absence may prove too much for Allie's heart to bear. Will she keep fighting the mysterious ties that bind them? Or will she find herself desperately pursuing the very fate she rejected-and encountering obstacles she didn't expect?
