Some inheritances arrive in your sleep.

She has died a hundred times. This time, she remembers.

A historical and modern saga of three bound roles — Dreamer, Protector and Destroyer — moving through five thousand years of migration, survival and memory.

Lives of Alara follows a bloodline marked by visions, hunted across millennia, and protected by those who do not always understand what they have inherited.

From Bronze Age ritual landscapes to the Tarim Basin, Bactria, Sogdia, the Kushan world, Constantinople and the modern Midwest, the novel traces how memory becomes both weapon and inheritance. Alara is the latest Dreamer — but unlike those before her, she begins to understand the pattern in time to fight it.

A bloodline. A curse. A circle that finally breaks.
